Stefflon Don's mixtape Real Ting opens with a skit in which various people are freaking out that "the don is coming."

It's a dramatic way to kick off your first mixtape and the drama continues throughout, with Don riding grime, dancehall, and hip-hop beats across the tape and showing off her ability to switch between London accent and patois with ease.
