It's the greatest reinvention since Teenage Fanclub went dubstep (and let's face it, that never actually happened). For his second album, Ben Drew aka Plan B has gone from gritty, grime-flecked rapper to besuited soul boy with a Smokey Robinson falsetto. New album, The Defamation of Strickland Banks, is due on 12 April, and sees the man responsible for songs like Mama (Loves a Crackhead) making a credible bid to be the next Amy Winehouse. No, we didn't see that one coming either.
