* WolverinePublicity: He is by far one of the most popular, if not the most popular, mainstream British rapper of the modern generation and is responsible for both the resurgence of the Grime genre and the new wave of British rappers to the point that he garners more attention than OG grime artists and him featuring on tracks for even a short verse gains attraction. It's actually a major reason for his beef with Grime [=MC=] Wiley.

* CountryMatters: He's a British rapper so it pops up. A particular instance is during the chorus for Wiley Flow.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Just because he's a mainstream artist with plenty of young fans and a [[RealMenLoveJesus religious expressiveness]] doesn’t mean he's forgotten his background as a [[BattleRapping battle rapper]]. He tries to make people remember in songs like Big Michael and collabs like I Dunno. Somewhat lampshaded in the former song.
