History Music / UnknownP

* RecycledLyrics: Many of the bars in his ''Fire In The Booth'' were previously used in his early videos, {{Justified}} as they primarily appear in the second segment, which he stated was a mashup (well, "[[IAmVeryBritish marshup]]") of his previous 'hits'.

->"''Unknown P didn't come to play, here's what the posh boy has to say!''"

** Percy wears an [[ShirtlessScene open shirt and shorts]] alongside various swimsuit-clad women in the ''Pain Au Chocolat'' music video. Somewhat {{Justified}} given that the whole thing is a {{Parody}} of ''Series/LoveIsland'', a reality TV show (in)famous for featuring its contestants half-naked [[WalkingSwimsuitScene more often than not]].

Unknown P, "real" name [[AlliterativeName Percy Picklesworth]], the [[UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom UK's]] first (and presently only) [[UpperClassTwit posh]] [[DrillMusic drill rapper]], is a [[PissTakeRap parody rapper]] persona created by British comedian [[https://www.youtube.com/@MunyaChawawa Munyaradzi Oliver Chawawa]] (born 29 December 1992) as part of his Website/YouTube series of short comedy sketches featuring larger-than-life satirical characters. And that's where Percy's story might have ended, were it not for Munya's swiftly increasing popularity, especially after a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPFNKhWlHqU viral appearance]] on DJ Charlie Sloth's rap freestyle show ''Fire in the Booth'', and the fact that [[HiddenDepths he genuinely can rap]]. This culminated in Unknown P [[{{Defictionalisation}} getting signed]] to Creator/AtlanticRecords.

** [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement Let's just say]] that Unknown P's endorsement of the Conservative party isn't intended to be taken as one from ''Munya''.

* SmallReferencePools: {{Inverted}}. Most of Unknown P's songs have some form of ShoutOut on practically every other line, but you probably won't notice [=and/or=] understand some of them unless you're familiar with British [=culture/rap/politics/memes=], and even ''then'' a lot of the references are rather niche.

* IntercourseWithYou: While it's (unsurprisingly) [[UnusualEuphemism somewhat flowery]], ''Pain Au Chocolat'' certainly counts.

* LikesOlderWomen: {{Implied}}, given that among the ladies he has mentioned in his lyrics are [[Series/TheGreatBritishBakeOff Mary Berry]], Creator/JudiDench, UsefulNotes/TheresaMay, UsefulNotes/MargaretThatcher, and current UK Home Secretary Priti Patel.

* PissTakeRap: The 'genre' of all his music, given that the character's entire shtick is being a rapper [-BUT POSH!-] However it's somewhat {{subverted}} given that many people find the songs catchy and above-average compared to ''actual'' rap.

* DrinkBasedCharacterisation: Is very partial to some Shloer- a [[DrinkBasedCharacterization posh, non-alcoholic, sweet, sparkling grape juice often given to kids in place of wine]].

* AmbiguousSituation: Did Percy attend the [[UsefulNotes/{{Oxbridge}} University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge]]? He mentions attending each in his songs.
