East London grime MC - Kano - is getting ready to drop his newest album London Town while it’s first single, “This Is The Girl” is already blazing up charts and airwaves. London Town is Kano’s second major release, and in addition to a standard CD, there will also be a limited edition CD/DVD with all kinds of collectible goodies. The CD/DVD package will include the video for “This Is The Girl,” an interview with Kano, and video of him in the studio with Craig David, who is featured on “This Is The Girl.” He will embark on a UK tour later this month in support of the new release, just after he competes with Wiley, Dizzee and Lethal B for a MOBO award.
