Never has the distance from the FA Cup second round to Wembley been so close.
This evening (Saturday), Matt Robinson will lead Dagenham and Redbridge into battle against Gillingham determined to take a scalp. On Wednesday, he will be at the arena next to the home of football hoping to win the Mobo award for best grime act.
Footballer by day, rapper by night, the 28-year-old known in the music industry as Kamakaze admits there are moments where it is difficult to balance the two. But as the east London club eyes a Football League return and his secondary career lifts off, for Robinson this is merely reward for years of hard work.
