VIDEO: Rapper's new promo filmed at Liquid club

Rotherham-based Nem—real name Ben Wheeler—has already toured with Tinchy Stryder and opened for the likes of Chipmunk, Example and Wiley.

He hopes the new collaboration with Vex One will boost his stock further, with a longer-term goal of landing a major record deal.

Ben (24) said: “It’s a party anthem, about having a good time and not letting other people get you down.

“Originally I came up with the idea and it was a more simpler version that how it finally turned out.

“I went into the studio with Vex One, who produces as well as performs and we did the beat. Then he wrote a verse for it, which I liked and added on the end so it became a collaboration.

“The video turned out perfect, really. Much better than I was hoping."

Take Off, by Nem featuring Vex One, is released through Drunken Boy Records and available now on iTunes.
