We missed this one on Halloween but its worth a quick spin, Lady Leshurr, who is performing at this week's Mobo awards has released the latest in her Queens Speech series.
She references Young MA, Big Brother, Usain Bolt, Pokemon, UFC, Donald Duck and Donald Trump.
Lily Allen says she was empowered by the backlash to her recent visit to the Calais migrant camp.
She was heavily criticised for telling a young Syrian boy that she wanted to apologise "on behalf of my country".
Speaking to Radio 1's Annie Mac, Lily said it is her "responsibility" to take action.
"It's sad that there are so many people within our society that are so fearful of minority groups or of vulnerable people."
"When I talk openly about those things I'm not setting out to inspire people, it's because I'm usually talking about or trying to highlight a situation I believe in and usually where vulnerable people are concerned.
"I knew full well there was going to be a fallout from the mainstream media but I feel empowered by it, rather than upset by it."
Italian Composer Ennio Morricone wants a court to declare that he can reclaim the rights to three of his film scores.
Morricone has filed a lawsuit against Bixio Music Group, according to the Hollywood Reporter, as the rights to the music from Cosi Come Sei (Stay As You Are), Il Giocattolo (A Dangerous Toy) and Un Sacco Bello (Fun Is Beautiful) all expired in 2012.

Following on from the success off Adele and her Jenny stunt ahead of her own BBC special, the Canadian crooner was transformed into a South African shop assistant and sent into a busy shop on London's Oxford Street.
Michael's show is being presented by Strictly's Claudia Winkleman who said: "He wanted to take on a different role and work in audio/visual department of a department store.
"So he transformed into Dionne, a South African guy, whose first day was on the shop floor, unbeknownst to lots of his fans who’d been brought in by brothers and sisters, people who loved him.

"And he started singing and it was unbelievably moving. And I don’t know how much of it you’ll actually see but there was one girl who didn’t stop crying for two hours."
