[irony towers]

With spirit, Bevan brought wraparound welfare; a good man, he provided hip op in Bow? (5,4)

spirit = KA (in Ancient Egypt)
Bevan = NYE
wraparound welfare = WelfarE - I thought this carried the implication of 'welfare from beginning to end', which would have been clearer but clunkier
a good man = S(ain)T

In the East End, hip-hop might be 'hip op' - pace the surviving 'h', but plausible transitions from Bevan to Kanye are limited.

Again I've contravened the ad hoc principle of non-cryptic definition; this sort of device seems to be admissible in, say, the Guardian.
