the fact that Black people in the UK's respect and safety is predicated on their success, particularly in sports and entertainment, emphasises the precariousness of how we're perceived and also our welfare

gotta move away from the mainstream, it’s popping more for the Alt-Rap scene; A2, Knucks, Lord Apex, Sainte, Lex Amor etc. UK R&B is still popping too, there’s a lot of gems in the UK once we get away from GRM Daily and Tik Tok tunes

what
@SageTodz
has done for the Welsh language is monumental. He has breathed new life into the language and brought it into a fresh, contemporary context.
I understand the importance of safeguarding the language and the policies around it but this decision makes no sense at all
For anyone wondering, I won't be performing at Maes B or Eisteddfod this year due to the Welsh language policy they have in place.
*Essentially there's too much English in my songs 🤷🏾♂️

there was far too much at stake. One more step closer to justice
GUILTY! Painfully earned justice has finally arrived for George Floyd’s family. This verdict is a turning point in history and sends a clear message on the need for accountability of law enforcement. Justice for Black America is justice for all of America!

the reality is that Wales doesn't really know what to do with MOBO artists - with the exception of a handful of people that genuinely know what they're doing and what they're talking about, we're consistently falling into the shadows behind the traditional genres and it's jarring

such an inspiring day for me, it's been great to see how curious and passionate the kids were about the BLM movement and becoming anti-racists🖤
Creating banners for their peaceful march, after being inspired by
@BLMGwent
. The children discussed how to be anti racist and make positive actions to inspire change. One artist is creating a BLM song inspired by the day.
