Mayhem, one half of the

Haze shows a deeper side when he raps, whilst helping listeners visualize pitfuls of huslting in the streets when u trying to chase a dream" The mixtape title is a twist on the cult classic movie, but in his version
Haze is giving a first hand account of what struggles and day to day encounters a young man may face growing up in London.
Once upon a Time in London features the poignant track
Heroes, the video for which has been featured on
MTV Base and
Channel U.
The track has the MC paying his respects to those who many cite as inspirational both culturally and musically.
"The track is basically a dedication to the people I look at as heroes. Those that came before me; that fought for something that without their fight I might not have even been in a position to do what I'm doing right now," the rapper explains.
"I am keeping their names alive, as people seem to forget the people that fought for us to be here. It's basically a letter talking to Pac, Big, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Bob Marley and Huey Newton. I want it to make an impression for Black History Month."
