VIDEO: Reload's transfer window rap gets him TV spot
A rapper from Wolverhampton saw his latest single played on Soccer AM after his tongue-twisting skills about the transfer window made waves on the internet.
Reload, real name Christian Nembhard, from Oxley, released his single, Transfer Window on football's transfer deadline day on Tuesday through the SB.TV music channel.
After its release he was contacted by Soccer AM to play his song in their showboating section.
He said: "Since the song was released it's been absolutely crazy, my phone hasn't stopped ringing and I'm getting loads of calls and messages, with potential meetings being set up, things are looking good.
"My Twitter, Facebook and Instagram have been non-stop and it's only been a few days. I've been doing music and working hard at it for a good decade, so I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.
"I'm always having football banter with my mates and I'm pretty good with wordplay so I thought putting players names together and connecting football with rap would be a funny and interesting idea."
In the song, he cleverly uses the names of footballers who have been rumoured to have been on the move in the transfer window, whilst describing city life with his friends.
Transfer Window mentions the likes of Robin Van Persie, Andrea Pirlo, Angel Di Maria and Petr Cech. Reload got his first big break in 2013 when he won a rap competition held by SB.TV, going on to perform at Croatia's Outlook Festival.
This led him to perform at some of the biggest music festivals in and around Europe, as well as featuring on some of the major platforms in UK Grime and Rap music.
This year has been another non-stop one, with performances up and down the UK with support from national radio DJs, such as BBC's DJ Semtex.
He will be heading to London later this month as he is up for an award at 'Get Rated' Awards.
He has been nominated for the ational competition, which is sponsored by the UK's GRM Daily. The winner will be decided on September 17.
