Episode 3: Racial Politics

Listen on

Episode notes

Coming together as one to enjoy music has to be the best thing about parties, clubs, concerts and festivals.

But what happens when that communal vibe is actively attacked and denied by the authorities? Due to the colour of the skin of those coming together.

This week, Julie Adenuga is joined by Grime MC Novelist and cultural curator Elijah, to discuss the racial politics from the estate to the dance floor.
