    Yes brothers and sisters this is the famous kuraka state home of Legends this road itself bu Canon road is where it all began for me number 27 down here I was born in the back bedroom of this house spot out on the carpet 22nd of the 1st 1985 when it

    All began in a mad house the midst of active addiction there number 27 born in the back bedroom round here in the mid 80s to early ’90s was heroin city right when heroin landed in this country it took off it was like an epidemic it was like a brown bomb it

    Just took off far and wide people were dropping dead left and right and rounder was no different it was crazy rounder grown up a lot of drugs a lot of violence a lot of criminals place was just alive with Junkies you know that type of a state a naughty little

    Place over the years it’s calmed down and it’s got a lot better but it wasn’t really a place for the fainthearted come the the the 90s it was a naughty little spot this the place itself is known for breeding tough Lads it’s known for sticking together that’s what it’s

    For everybody around here is known for sticking together this estate is known all over town because the lads stick together I’ve seen it many times cars and people coming from out of town or from different Estates coming trying to cause bother before you know it there’s 20 Lads some

    Out on the front he you love not really what anyone wants just as far as I’m concerned it’s the best little place on Earth you know it’s just that familiarity I’m sure everybody’s got that with their own estate but this is a special little place and look what I’m touring on the

    1. Yes boyo. The old stomping ground. If those roads and paths could speak they’d tell some brilliant stories. The place of legends. The best place on earth. Currock ❤️ I purposely used to walk round Sewell, Leabourne and Ridley when going somewhere just to reminisce and think of whatever memories popped in my head. Now I sometimes drive them streets purely for nostalgia.

      That Granny crank is mint as well. We had some good fun on them back in’t day 👌🏼 Wish I still had my Raleigh Bianca. What a weapon 🤩

    3. That my grandmothers bike! Was it you who 'stuck her in the choke hold' and took it off her ?!!!! 😏
      Right, im phoning Jared Warren to come deal with you, again.. 😏

    4. Will you bring your kids up like you or will you strive for a decent place where more successful and less desperate people live? We are all a product of our environment

    5. You’re an F**** belter Danny lol😂 rolling around the estate on your granny basher like Deebo from Friday 😂. Watching this is a vivid reminder of my upbringing on my estate. Similar story of the brown epidemic and the rough and toughness and togetherness of all of us. Proper shite hole but I loved it. A place called ‘Corby Town’ based in the East Midlands. Also known as ‘Little Scotland’ for all of the Scottish migrants coming down to work in the steel works back in the Second World War. Great town, stories. Respect Danny 😎 👊🏼
