Interesting convo between Elijah and Jyoty Singh bout perceived limits, borders & possibilities in black creative spaces. From personal experience beyond curiosity & groupthink, storytelling is a key factor in insulating our heritage. Show people they can be else & they’ll be.

I always find it funny when people back home say you’re not African enough. you’re not REALLY yoruba. lol who gets to decide that? Surely not some random notions and stories created 6 centuries ago i’m sorry..

This is the tension of being a specialist. At the beginning the focus helps with getting ideas done and out, but too long you can trick yourself and whoever’s paying attention to believing that’s all that thing is, and can be.

Back today on Oroko Radio with Christian Adofo and a very special guest Dr Aleema Gray, discussing her anti disciplinary work via HOUSE OF DREAD + her latest effort “Beyond The Bassline” with the British Library. LOCK IN 📡🌍 7:00PM UK Time

A sustainable music career has never existed in the history of the recorded music business

And this what is wrong with ppl using music as an enterprise rather than what it could be. There’s actually an economic term for what Skepta voices out here, with Ebro not able to raise 1 question. It’s called regulatory capture. Big Smoke -, tell Drake there’s money without rap.

And that’s exactly what I meant here. The ripple effects of what is happening will be felt across ‘Black’ genres in years to come. I miss serious music journalism man 😞

RIP Terror Danjah - an instrumental person in my journey in music. Some things you may not already know ↳ His instrumentals being released via Planet Mu and Hyperdub in 2009 and 2010 opened the doors for Grime to be documented as it should have always been as pioneering

If that clash had one more round prob would have heard pump it up
