Saul Milton (Chase) and Will Kennard (Status) are Chase and Status. They met a university in Manchester but are from London originally. In 2003, they set up the band Chase and Status.

They loved music, love what they did and wanted to produce good stuff.

In 2009, they released an album called No More Idols which was and is highly acclaimed.

If you have Apple music or Spotify then go find the album and look at the last two tracks. They’re both called End Credits (you should click this link for the video – go on click it).

There is the track End Credits and there is the live version of End Credits which is a beautiful piece of work.

But it’s the track itself that this is about.

End Credits is one of the top 10 songs of all time in my life and I return to it over and over again. It speaks to me.

Quotes speak to me and stimulate me, books, movies and music; but of the music I listen to this one I go back to time and time again.

Scroll back up the blog and click it and see if it speaks to you.

End Credits was written by Chase and Status but is performed in collaboration with Plan B like almost all of Chase and Status tracks. There latest offering is a remix with Tom Grennan, there is significant danger that that will end up in my top 10 as well. So, what’s the point of giving your review of music that was released in 2009 or a song that appears on Sky TV when they do the highlights for the football.

It’s about how Chase and Status go about their work.

They collaborate with people who can’t do what they can do.

They embrace different types of music and multiple different types of artists, from Tinie Tempah to Ceelo Green to Example to Rhianna and now to Tom Grennan.

By collaboration they produce better work and every so often something comes out which is utterly brilliant and which will last a life time.

Do you get it?

Paying your forward and collaborating and loving it is the only way to do anything worthwhile.
