Actor and rapper Riz Ahmed has released another single – ‘Sour Times’. It is the MC’s second independent track after his highly political debut ‘Post 9/11 blues’.

Sour Times follows a similar political theme and features a montage of people mouthing the lyrics. It include rappers Plan B, Scroobius Pip, actors Jim Sturgess, Tom Hardy, and musician Nitin Sawhney.

Riz Ahmed who also goes by the name of Riz MC, was recently seen in the film Shifty where he plays a drug dealer.

Most famously, he played a lead role in the primetime Channel 4 drama Britz, acting the role of a MI5 agent who is recruited to tackle terrorism.

On 18th July he hosts a party at London’s Southbank Centre entitled United Underground – bringing together music and political speeches.

He also stars in the film Rage, with Jude Law and Judi Dench, which is scheduled for release later this year.
