Plan B is the stage name of Ben Drew, an English singer, songwriter, rapper and actor from London, known for blending hip hop, soul, R&B and British rap. Emerging in the mid-2000s, he gained attention for gritty, narrative-driven lyrics and for combining rap with melodic singing, later expanding into soul and pop-inflected balladry. His work often juxtaposes street-focused storytelling with more melodic, orchestral arrangements, and he has pursued parallel careers in music and film. Plan B is recognized for shifting stylistically across projects while maintaining a focus on narrative and emotional directness.
