[Intro: Labrinth]
Ladies and Gentlemen, gathered before you are 5 of the finest word-smiths known to mankind
What you are about to witness is no illusion

Tinie Tempah, come in

[Verse 1: Tinie Tempah]
A hundred thousand people everybody mosh pitting
I make the most of every minute that the clock give me
So come and rock with me everybody rocking out
I make em jump till there's a hole in the fucking ground
Pose for a picture, nigga I am so off the Richter
All I do is shots shots shots, I don't use no cup or no mixer
I rock all my clothes like a hipster
And I rock them shades like a G
That girl be definitely coming if she's coming with me
I'm like a hundred degrees man I'm even hotter than August
See half them girls in your city they probably got on my tour bus
I make 'em ugly
Where my Paracetamol and Anadin and a crystal ball for my n-n-n-nig Labrinth

Kano, come in

[Verse 2: Kano]
Said I been gone for a hot minute
Who put my Rolex on the radiator
Back like boomerang I'm Dundee'ing it
But you might see me later alligator
In some bally lace ups, with some jacket tapered
So much stones you thought it was animation
Wilma on my case cos all these chicks adjacent
To my table tryna drink my vodka and champagne up
I ain't no Matt Damon, but Bourne with Ultimatums
Get rich or die trying so we started caking
I'm doing 'caine but not the brother of Undertaker
And I ain't Muslim but tell my brothers Assalamu Alaykum
Finish him, Kano my nigga no Raiden
Fuck with my dog then my nigga Alsatian
Tell a man... make a man blazing
Cover up what? nigga tuck chains in
Diamonds all in your face like shaving
And the gyal dem call me Earthquake
Cos I make their pussy cave in
I'm a beast

Wretch 32, come in

[Verse 3: Wretch 32]
Got so much cuts I had to teach myself first aid, hey
I'm tryin to learn to play safe
I never get caught out before I get to third base
But still they see me coming I lash in your face
I guess I'm getting foul again
Pure waste and the flows pants are my trouser dem
Throw a little cheese at the rats
Say we're labbin em, you see I'mma be a bigger cat
Watch me scratch it in, scratch it in, scratch it in
I ain't here for no packaging, ain't the cutest brother brother
But shaped like a mannequin
Ladies throwing me their clothes, then using their Apocalips
Brother you ain't got no inner soul, put a sock in it

[Verse 4: Labrinth]
They thought I disappeared, I just did a gap year like a fresher came back like a graduate
Now everybody's scared cause the damage that I've done with two songs
Is probably more than their album did
Be afraid, be afraid I'mma get'cha
Little Lab's making earthquakes in America
I ain't the Messiah but they call me the creator
When I said let there be light how many stars did I make huh?
Yeah I got the Midas touch
Got gold diggers looking at my fine wrist watch
Even got the restaurant to fine dine this fox
Better call me by my name that's right it's Boss now
Levels levels I take the levels up triples
Just take those triples and triple it I'm so far gone
I'm high can't get me down like a hard on
Cause the morning says glory when a star is born hello

I predict an earthquake up in here
Say yeah
I predict an earthquake up in here
Cause we throw bombs on it, throw bombs on it
Just smash something, yes mosh for me
Hey yeah (Oh My God)
We can make an earthquake up in here

Busta, come in

[Verse 5: Busta Rhymes]
Busa Rhymes Labrinth, coming to a hood near you
Like you’re ’bout to get your ass kicked
Try to front little homie I dare you (come on)
With this type of banger is on in the club
Nobody wanna hear you
Then a big foot step up in the place
Like I’m comin’ in to kill you
Bang ‘em earthquake
Every time I bark on the mic and I won’t stop
The I hit ‘em and I get ‘em all again
Gotta shut it down, everybody knows that I close shop
Yes yes yes, ok
Now I’m in the building, do what I say
Jump around, hands in the air
And you better get to it ‘cuz you know I don’t play
And let us get it poppin’ and then we turn it up a little
Cuz you know we gotta do it and we doin it well
I’m about to explode
Heat it up a little more, beat it up a little more, boy you can’t tell
T-Trust me homie
Do not walk up in my shadow
Just respect my handle while we bang and make the
Earth rattle

Go Yeah
I predict an earthquake up in here
Say yeah
I predict an earthquake up in here
Cause we throw bombs on it, throw bombs on it
Just smash something, yeah mosh for me Hey yeah
We can make an earthquake up in here
(So here we go we go)
Labrinth, come in

Labrinth

There isn’t a lot of contemporary music that Labrinth can’t do – the London-based artist is a singer, rapper, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer who has enjoyed success as a solo artist while also working alongside such stars as Rihanna, the Weeknd, and Ed Sheeran. Born Timothy McKenzie, the London-based Labrinth first emerged as a triple-threat artist in 2008 when he wrote, produced, and sang on rapper Master Shortie’s 2008 track “Dead End.” A year later he was working with U.K. R&B artists Tinchy Stryder and Chipmunk, but it was 2010 when he really broke, beginning with his guest spot on Tinie Tempah’s smash hit “Frisky.” His remix of Gorillaz’s “Stylo” landed that same year, and soon labels were offering Labrinth behind-the-scenes songwriting and production deals. But Simon Cowell, the music mogul behind American Idol and The X Factor, saw it differently. Early in the summer, it was announced that Cowell had signed Labrinth as an artist to his Syco imprint, making him the first act in six years to be signed to Cowell’s label without taking part in one of his talent shows. Labrinth’s debut single for the label, “Let the Sunshine,” arrived in August of that year. At the beginning of 2011, Labrinth started work on his debut album. Juggling production work for the likes of Ms. Dynamite and working on the BBC Children in Need’s 2011 charity single Teardrop, the first new material from Labrinth first saw the light of day in October 2011. The single, Earthquake (a collaboration with Tinie Tempah), debuted on the U.K. singles chart at number two. Six months later, in April 2012, Labrinth’s debut album, Electronic Earth, was released. Labrinth soon began work on the follow-up, Take Me to the Truth, but while two singles appeared from the album’s sessions, “Let It Be” and “Jealous,” the full-length has yet to appear after missing several rescheduled release dates in 2014 and 2015. However, Labrinth stayed in the public eye with guest appearances on singles by Tinie Tempah (“Lover Not a Fighter”), Sigma (“Higher”), Noah Cyrus (“Make Me [Cry]”), and the Weeknd (“Losers”). Labrinth also stayed in demand as a producer, overseeing sessions for the Weeknd (Beauty Behind the Madness and Starboy) and Ed Sheeran (÷).
