A compelling and depressing read in equal measures.

what are the chances of there being a grime 'fuck the police' song i wonder?

Didn't the Home Secretary recently say that he would not get involved in the knee-jerk condemnation of gang culture, and that there was nothing inherently wrong with groups of young kids getting together?
The Guardian and The Independent really need to pick up on this article and make something of it, and try and expose this shit further, if anyone knows who to push to there.

well I pitched basically the same story (the one I feel fairly certain Time Out nicked from my pitch) to The Observer arts editor Sarah Donaldson in November. She was, in her own words, 'very interested in my thesis', but in the run-up to Christmas there wasn't the space to go out on a limb and run something 'niche' like this, so I was advised to take the story elsewhere (Dazed, as it turned out). I'd also pitched it to contacts on The Guardian's Film&Music section.
So I guess my point is, it's not like the broadsheets don't know, or haven't had the opportunity to run this story. It's just not high enough on their list of priorities.
You might wanna pitch it again now mebbe? I know the Guardian is notoriously conservative with regard to accepting features or comment work that hasnt been covered elsewhere...Good on yer for gettin in there though, best of luck. I'd just like to see this one spread about further, and some political lobbying starting to happen with regard it, and especially Club Focus.

mostly just scholar playing tracks w/ slix and rapid hosting, but they played good stuff...
Sounds pretty good. Reverby almost dubsteppy beat.
I consider Kano a successful artist. I wouldn't say he is a worldwide act. Dizzee is just about. Dizzee has outsold Kano by a long way as well.
But Kano is successful. He outsold everyone else but Dizzee.
