Get ready for an electrifying interview as I sit down with my pal Gavin Bain, one half of rapping outfit Silibil & Brains. After facing constant knock-backs due to their thick Scottish accents when performing, Gavin and his friend Billy (Silibil) donned California accents, said they were friends with Eminem and were subsequently snapped up by Sony, handed record deals, and stood on the verge of global stardom.
