Run the Road's Musical Implications
Run the Road served as an advertisement to the United States of the various, young, future stars currently performing in the grime scene. Artists such as Lady Sovereign, featured on the track "Cha Ching," despite having some recognition in Britain, still long to gain success in the United States and become an international star.
