It’s pretty widely known that Daniel Radcliffe’s talents are considerable, and now he can add rapper, or at least rapper-impersonator, to the list following his appearance on Jimmy Fallon‘s The Tonight Show where he delivered a flawless performance of Blackalicious’ tongue-twisting Alphabet Aerobics.
Following his admission to Fallon of his love for rap music – Eminem, Plan B – Radcliffe revealed his obsession with memorising “complicated, lyrically intricate and fast songs” and then completely delivered.
The boy-wizard powered through the notoriously tricky song, showcasing his tight flow, and American accent, on Blackalicious’ lyrically-dense 1999 track, which was in fact a collaboration with Jurassic 5‘s Australia-bound Cut Chemist, all while Fallon stood behind him throwing out a stack of lettered cards as Radcliffe blitzed through them.
