HERITAGE: The Square Put Lewisham's Notorious McDonalds On The Map With This Upbeat Singalong (2015)


March 06, 2020

Though only a short-lived venture, The Square arrived at the perfect time with a new gen take on the larger-than-life grime sing-a-longs that endeared us to Channel U all those years ago. Arriving just as grime resurged in the mid-2010s, "Lewisham McDeez" was the perfect anthem.

Novelist, Elf Kid, DeeJillz and Lolingo together only put out one project (The Formula) and a couple of singles as The Square, but that was more than enough to leave an indelible mark on grime and the UK underground. Of course, Who's dat chick, that girl is a pengaleng may remain one of grime's most repeated hooks, but Wanna war me? Lewisham McDeez is the battle cry that'll outlive us all.
