He's a chart-topping MC, but in his spare time, Bugzy Malone is also a Walking Dead mega-fan.

So who best to spit out some beats ahead of the eagerly anticipated launch of series eight on October 23?

The star has joined forced with streaming service NOW TV to create a remix and accompanying video that really needs to be seen to be believed.

Titled The Walking Dead Riddim, obvs, the grime remix starts with Bugzy waking in a cold sweat and recalling a nightmare about the show's star Rick Grimes fighting off ravenous walkers.

Slowly more and more grim details of his dream come back to him, like Lori's death, the war with The Govenor and Negan's blood-curdling antics.

Seeing things through Rick's eyes, his dream starts becoming a reality and the world around him morphs into the show. He walks into the barber's for a trim, only to find out that his stylist is a zombie.

Will Bugzy get away or will he become one too?

Grime's Logan Sama served as exec producer on the project, and producer Swifta Beater packed the track with bars and beats to accompany Bugzy's song lyrics.

“I’ve always been a massive fan of the show. I love the grittiness, the dark atmosphere and the fear of the characters that pulsates through the show – which I always thought would make the perfect backdrop for a grime track," gushed Bugzy.

“Shooting the music video was sick – it was mad being in Rick’s shoes, having walkers chasing after me and getting hands-on with Lucille. It’s got me seriously pumped for Season 8 of The Walking Dead dropping on NOW TV.”

*Stream Season 8 of The Walking Dead weekly on NOW TV. The first episode premieres at 9pm on Monday, October 23.
