Grime numbers station, by Autodespair.
From the comments:
[DomtheGee] This is like such a long number. I'm not sure it's gonna work. I'll try it though
[DomtheGee] Yeah the phone won't let me finish it, it keeps cutting out. No wonder they get no calls tho innit

I'm using this for my voicemail passcode now, much more secure than my cat's birthday.

And for confused people like me, this post explains what this is all about: "in case you don’t know, when a listener wants to give appreciation to a tune or a vocal they’ll send a missed call to the studio phone, the host then reads out the last three digits of their number. grime numbers has these, the various studio numbers, the station’s frequency and even lyrics which use numbers (wiley on the 38 bus)."

I was waiting for Grimes but was not disappointed anyway.

What is the incentive for either hu-mon to participate in this ritual?

I didn't know that repping radio stations or district numbers or hamlet figures or whatever the equivalent to zip codes are in Britain was such a big thing in grime, as they are in American hip-hop.
