Folk singer in prison with a rapper (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
nick drake
'folk singer' is the definition.
'prison with a rapper' is the wordplay.
'prison' becomes 'nick' (slang term for prison).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'a rapper' becomes 'drake'.
'nick'+'drake'='NICK DRAKE'
'in' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
