Dadvengers Podcast Episode 26 - Krept This week's guest is a massive name in the UK hip-hop scene, host of the BBC show The Rap Game UK, star of the BBC documentary "This Is England", and creator of a baby skincare range! Krept became a dad just two years ago, and Nala is the center of his world! He makes life work around her. She has taught him that he can put family and relationships first and still be successful.
