Best friends who grew up in Lewisham, south London, both recently moved with their families to Kent. Do you enjoy school? Barney (right) I like my social life and friends. I moved in year six, and the kids in Ramsgate had never had any sex education. Blue (left) My school in London was really multicultural; here it’s 99% English. Some people don’t understand, when they say things about other races, it’s quite bad. Outside of school, what takes up most of your time? Barney Our band. It started as a joke… Blue We were taking the mickey. Barney We thought it’d be good if we rapped about things we liked. Rappers in America talk about gun crime and prostitutes; we rap about getting clothes from TK Maxx. What’s your favourite item of clothing? Barney Shoes! I’ve got 50 pairs of trainers. Blue I absolutely love big, colourful clothes. Photograph: Interview: Caroline Irby/Caroline Irby
