Instead of rapping from the passenger seat, Kane from the Bad Boy Chiller Crew (BBCC) is now able drive and spit bars simultaneously and safely, of course.
Kane is one third of the baseline collective from Bradford - alongside Gareth gk Kelly and Sam 'Clive' Robinson - who went from uploading prank videos to Facebook in 2017, to being musically-famous in 2019 when they were dubbed one of the top '50 new artists for 2020' by The Guardian.
The group were signed by a London-based record label in 2020 and got their own 6-episode, self-titled reality TV series on ITV2 in 2021.
Their album Disrespectful was remarkably ranked number 10 in The New York Times' 'Best Albums of 2022' by Jon Caramanica.

"There’s an inherent silliness to bouncy club music, songs designed to trigger full-scale abandon," the review read.
"Bad Boy Chiller Crew — effectively a comedy troupe wearing the costume of a music collective — amplifies and underscores that tendency on its second album.
"The songs — faithful bassline and garage tunes that sound like shout-rapping over a D.J. mix — are absurd and uncanny, an invitation to dance and a metacommentary on letting loose."
And now, in 2023, the biggest accolade of all has come to Kane, who has finally passed his driving test.

Birkenhead Driving School took to their Facebook page to congratulate Kane, who was pictured holding up his certificate while dressed in a red Dsquared t-shirt, ripped grey jeans and a black sleeveless puffer.
"Congratulations to Kane on passing his test first time this morning in Wallasey," they wrote.
"Completed a 30hr intensive course and worked very hard for it.
"Good luck in the future from the BDS team."
Taking to the comments, one fan asked: "Congratulations, what car you getting?"

To which someone quipped: "A big 450 jarvaaa."
"Gowan mush,' a third person said, while a fourth added: "Well done Kane babez xx."
Back in 2022, BBCC’s Gareth Kelly opened up about the band's success, saying that 'we’re lads from the estate who just wanted to be something'.
"Kane is the main music man, I’m the presenter, and Clive is the actual maniac," he told HungerTV.

"At first, we were a laughing stock. Even our friends and parents were like, what are you doing?" GK added.
"We just had a dream, and personally, I always knew that I wanted to be someone.
"It’s hard to give back to everyone because I’ve got such a big family and friend base.
"With what we’re doing now, it takes all of your energy, and I feel bad when I don’t reply and I don’t see people, but it’s going to get to that point where I’m gonna have a mental breakdown if I try to do everything.

"I just need to switch off and focus on this.
"If people don’t want to understand they don’t have to, but our true friends and family get it."
