Episode synopsis
It is BRAS time - the British Rap Awards - and Trexx and Flipside are going to be there. In row 'Z', with the price of the tickets taken from their next (indeed, first) pay cheque. Ollie and Brilliance have it all planned. The boys can get 'papped' by popping up behind the real rap stars as they arrive. B-ICE decides wearing 'street' isn't cool enough for this year's event so, despite Chinaza's advice to the contrary, he decides to go 'gutter'. Those clothes he swapped with a street-brother down on his luck have the sweet smell of success - well, they have something that doesn't smell right. Trexx and Flip set off in a Limo - a shared one. They couldn't afford the real thing themselves and the Hen party that is sharing with them won't be too wild will it? Are you kidding? Two cool black guys and a hen party-in-need spells nothing but monster-trouble for the boys. Stripped and abandoned on the streets, they soon figure out what they need. A passing tramp wearing cool clothes and two tickets to the BRAS. Hey presto, how did that happen? Will it all finally go right...? Doubtful, but you never know.
