Available for over a year

Gavin Bain was one half of Silibil N’ Brains, a Californian rap duo on the cusp of greatness. But there was a problem - the story of these hip hop stars was fake. Gavin’s never even been to America. A film has been made about this story called California Schemin’. This interview was first broadcast in 2022. Film clips: The Mask/Chuck Russell/ New Line Cinema and Dark Horse Entertainment.
