The achievement also saw Krept & Konan gain a Guinness World Record for “Highest-charting UK Album by an unsigned act”. With great album success and loyal fans, in October (just a month after their release) the pair received their first Mobo Award for ‘Best newcomer in association with HTC’ and scored themselves a major deal with Virgin/EMI. The song ‘Don’t waste my time’ which caught a lot of US rappers attention, including French Montana has over 1 million views on Youtube and is a huge success. The Pair seem to be going from strength to strength & we’re loving it!
