Rap star Blakie tests out a new kind of track


It takes some serious speed and precision to keep up with energetic MC and music producer Blakie.

That’s why Ford teamed up with the 21-year old “Can’t see them” and “Bare Energy EP” star for a new film that demonstrates the agility of their new Focus ST performance car.


Shot over three days on location at Ford's test track in Lommel, Belgium, the film shows Londoner Blakie perform his track “Jump” from the passenger seat of the Focus ST – developed by the specialists at Ford Performance.



Sophisticated technologies including selectable Drive Modes help the car keep pace in a race with the rapper as he chops and changes his rhythms and tempos.

Blakie:
Having a film made to a track I wrote in my bedroom was amazing – my mum drives a Ford so she'll be really happy, I loved working with an amazing driver and experiencing the adrenaline of the Focus ST on a test track.

Blakie even free-styled his lyrics especially for the film, to give them a unique Focus ST twist.

  1. Looks interesting the car but I hope it's as agile & active as the new Fiesta ST. Previous generation Fiesta ST was better then the Focus ST.
