Grime rapper/Pokemon fan JME is looking to offload some copies of his self-released album Integrity. But rather than charge fans money and use that cash to buy rare Pokemon cards, JME is cutting out the middle man and swapping fans copies of his vinyl for their cards.
Well, a better word is “card.” The Boy Better Know founder and actual sibling of Skepta is specifically looking for shiny Charizard cards from the first generation of Pokemon cards.
SWAPS! LETS DO SWAPS! Anyone who wants to swap me, holla. I'll give you a Integrity> Vinyl LP! I want a shiny Charizard In good condition.

Don’t try to give him anything else.

Even new Charizard cards won’t do.
Nah. No nostalgia for me RT @Nonprofitgenie: @JmeBBK You want one of the new ones? It's an ultra rare, number 107/106 http://t.co/mZW87FePOD

Definitely don’t come to him with anything less than pristine, or he’ll roast you like a Fire Spin.
Nah, you need to take that to the Pokémon Center fam. RT @coxytothe: @JmeBBK ?? http://t.co/p191nk5DGZ

JME has proven to be a man of his word, already swapping with two fans.

Even if you do find a Charizard to trade, don’t expect a clear answer as to why JME is collecting them.
For myself RT @_seanf: @JmeBBK why are you collecting shiny Charizards??
