You da Man, Geraint!

                                                             Rap Star Theodore Snake

Rap star, Theodore Snake, caused a sensation during his live performance at Passing Clouds last night. The Hip-Hop legend was performing in front of a packed audience at the Forrester show bar, when he interrupted his act to introduce, on stage, what he described as 'a mega discovery in the world of rap'  local shepherd Geraint Lewis-Jenkins from Portmadoc.  

Geraint was spotted by Snake as the rapper was taking ‘time out’ to see some of the North Wales scenery. He described how he heard a low, tremulous rap beat coming from a field somewhere nearby. He looked over a hedge and saw Geraint working his dog, Totty.

Skull Jackson, Theodore’s personal bodyguard, described what happened next.

‘T da man sow the bro in da field, an Da bro was wid da sheep, man.’

Geraint wowed the audience with what is now believed to be some of the earliest examples of European rap music known. At one point, he took his teeth out and rapped a Denbighshire mule song, rattling the dentures like a pair of castanets on his knee.

Excited but tired, Geraint said after his performance, ’When Mr Snake popped his head over the hedge, I was shifting trespassers off my field, and he gave me quite a surprise. I thought he was speaking Welsh, at first! You don‘t often see folk like him in Portmadoc.’       

Yo da boyo! Geraint.
