00:00It's the captain of Celtic, isn't it?

00:02Yeah, he's that guy.

00:04How you doing, everybody? It's your boy, Bems,

00:06and I'm a rapper based in Glasgow,

00:08and this is my best of Glasgow.

00:11Favourite restaurant?

00:12For old times' sakes, I've got to say Sugo.

00:14See that beef ragu?

00:15Got crack in it, man. It's amazing.

00:18Favourite pub? I used to love The Breezing Head.

00:21Probably Maxi's now, if anything, yeah.

00:23Just like the vibe, it's chill,

00:25and if I want to go for a boogie, I can just go downstairs.

00:28Café? Ooh.

00:30Can't lie, I'm not really a café guy, you know,

00:32but whenever I do, I go to Moiré James,

00:36either the one in Pollock Shields or the one in Gifnick.

00:39Yeah.

00:40If you do go there, get the French toast and bacon.

00:43Different gravy.

00:45Favourite venue to play?

00:47Yeah.

00:48The Otter Academy is...

00:52Ten out of ten.

00:53Favourite was to visit Barrylands.

00:56There's just something about it, you know what I mean?

00:58It's just like you walk in and you just know it's going to be great,

01:01do you know what I mean?

01:02The atmosphere in it, the crowds,

01:04and usually the people I go see in there is just ten out of ten.

01:07Favourite building?

01:09Hey, yo.

01:12Yeah, I don't know, man.

01:14Probably say, like, Goma, like, Kelvin Grove, I think.

01:19But, yeah, I don't really have a favourite building, I can't lie.

01:22Here's the problem, like, I've got too many, though.

01:25Too many.

01:26I've got to say P-Sweatpants.

01:28Myself, obviously.

01:30Not to be big-headed, do you know what I mean?

01:35Who else?

01:36Who would I put in my top five?

01:38I'm guessing this would be, like, any category, right?

01:40Yeah, any category.

01:41And they have to stay in Glasgow.

01:43They don't have to stay in Glasgow,

01:44but as long as you play in Glasgow regular, like, they play.

01:47Oh, easy.

01:48Um, Vla, um, The Snarts, um, The Z-Bex, I think the name is.

01:55Um, like, Leah GTE, DJ, Cold.

02:14Um, yeah, it'd be South.

02:15South, yeah.

02:16There's a football stadium card.

02:18Celtic Park.

02:19A lot of people have said that's their favourite building, actually.

02:23Why would I call that as a building, though?

02:25You see what I'm saying?

02:26It's like...

02:27A building is like...

02:30Calum McGregor.

02:33Okay.
