Following 2013s Urban Classic Prom, BBC Radio 1Xtra joins the BBC Proms in a high-octane Late Night celebration of the thriving urban music scene, from hip hop to grime. Rappers Wretch 32, Stormzy and Krept and Konan join presenters MistaJam and Sian Anderson on stage, to set the Royal Albert Hall dancing in new remixes blending classical and urban styles, with a little help from Jules Buckley and his Metropole Orkest.
MistaJam on Wresthc 32's '6 Words';
"I challenge anyone, in any genre, to find as genuine a love song as this. It already covers a number of basses - R&B, rap, D&B - so adding orchestration to it will create another layer and enhance those already there. If anyone isn't dancing during this Prom, I'd advise a trip to the GP to see what's wrong with them!"
