January 31, 2019

The story behind Lethal Bizzle's "Pow" has a long and storied history. From politics and beef to controversy and negative attention from police. In this doc from 2005 (which claims to be the first grime documentary), The Nu Era Presents: Pow Pow, The Nu Era crew sit down with everyone involved for an in-depth look at the story behind it.

In this hour-long treasure trove we get interview footage with every MC featured on the 2004 version of "Pow": Lethal Bizzle, Fumin, Flowdan, Neeko, D Double E, Forcer, Demon, Ozzie B, Napper, Jamakabi and Dexplicit.

It also breaks down what happened after the track broke down, going deep into the hype surrounding the track, how it was banned in a lot of UK clubs and a lot of the politics that went on in the wake of its success.
