Plan B - Playing With Fire (Prod. Labrinth) x Falling Down (Live Lounge)

With the film having hit cinema's around the country last week, Plan B tonight dropped into the Maida Vale studio to perform a special live lounge with his band, which included exclusive performances of new material from the 'iLL Manors' soundtrack. 'Playing With Fire' is produced by Labrinth, with the studio version featuring Etta Bond, and 'Falling Down' is an incredible Hip-Hop storytelling record that sees Ben Drew go back to his 'Who Needs Action When You Got Words' days. Cannot wait to see the film, because this soundtrack is already something really special.
