When the man behind 'Pow' and 'Rari Workout' produces a new grime banger we listen. Lethal Bizzle shares the story of his latest dancefloor smash 'Fester Skank' with Gigwise.
A man whose love of singular dance routines is only matched only by his prowess at dressing Dames and facing down difficult crowds, Lethal Bizzle recently checked in with Gigwise to reveal the unlikely inspiration behind the track. Unsurprisingly, it does involve a certain Addam's Family character played most memorably by Christopher Lloyd.
Watch the video of Lethal Bizzle talking through the inspiration behind Fester Skank above.
"I want to big up the fan who actually named the single for me" says Bizzle. "How the song came about was in the studio with Diztortion. He had the 'Fester Skank' beat playing and I was just doing the dance. That's how I dance sometimes, when I come from the gym and I'm a bit stiff! He filmed it and I uploaded it on Instagram. All the fans were going crazy, 1000 comments people saying "This is hilarious" and "This is my dance for the weekend". Someone was ike 'Uncle Fester'. And a lightbulb just went on in my head."
Forty-five minutes later the song was complete. Watch the full video above to hear Bizzle's view on why it's proven so popular. It's out this week on Dench/Virgin EMI. Bizzle is also set to play Brownstock, Reading Festival and his own headlining tour in October. For tickets and more information click here.
