Who is Jake Fahri aka rapper Ten? Jimmy Mizen’s murderer who boasts about murder in rap lyrics
JAKE Fahri AKA Ten is a rapper who was jailed for the 2008 murder of a schoolboy named Jimmy Mizen.
The rap-star is known for disguising his appearance with a balaclava and for bragging about his crimes his songs.
Murder in Lee Green
On May 10, 2008, Fahri stabbed 16-year-old schoolboy Jimmy Mizen in a bakery, in Lee Green, London.
Jimmy was the child of practising Catholics Barry and Margaret Mizen and was known in the community for being an altar boy who stood at 6 feet and 4 inches in height.
Fahri handed himself into the police, three days after the attack, and reportedly said: “Someone has died because of me. I didn’t mean it, I didn’t mean to kill him.”
He claims that he attacked Jimmy with an advertising sign, but, when the 16-year-old managed to get a hold of the sign, Fahri struck him with a glass dish.
A shard from the dish severed several vital arteries, resulting in Jimmy’s death.
After their son’s death, Barry and Margaret Mizen opened a cafe in Hither Green which was run by Jimmy’s older brother.
The cafe is next-door to the Jimmy Mizen foundation which runs a variety of community projects in the area.
Their work has earned Barry and Margaret an MBE and the pair have been recognised as among Britain’s most influential Roman Catholics.
Fahri was found guilty of Jimmy’s murder and was handed a life sentence with a minimum of 14 years behind bars.
Fahri’s chilling lyrics
Since his release from prison in 2023, Fahri has embarked on a rap career under the name TEN.
Several of his songs have proven to be controversial, because of their violent lyrical content.
In one song, he says: “Stuck it on a man and watched him melt like Ben and Jerry’s.
“Sharpen up my blade I’ve got to keep those necessary.
“Stay alert and kept it ready, any corner could be deadly.”
“Judge took a look at me, before the trial even started he already knows he’s gonna throw the book at me”.
In another, Fahri raps: “See a man’s soul fly from his eyes and his breath gone.
“S***, I wanted more, it made it less wrong.
“Seeing blood spilled same floor he was left on.”
Fahri’s identity is revealed
A probe by The Sun uncovered that TEN was actually Jake Fahri.
The lyrical content of Fahri’s work was then handed to the Ministry of Justice, who said that they are “investigating” the case as a “priority”.
Fahri’s work had been previously promoted on BBC1Xtra which was hosted by DJ Theo Johnson.
After playing Fahri’s song, DJ Theo said: “You see Ten, yeah, he delivers the bars in a certain way that makes him really stand out to me.
“I’m really liking what I’m hearing, when I’m hearing what he’s laying down at the moment.
“And I know my producer KC is a big fan as well, and she’s been singing his praises, and proper rocking with his tunes.”
When asked about promoting Fahri’s work, the BBC said:
“Decisions on music are made case by case.
“We have strict editorial guidelines in place before any content is broadcast or posted.
“BBC 1Xtra does not glamorise violence.”
