    Eliza Rose in Conversation: gentrification, staying underground and “BOTA”

    Her anthem “Baddest Of Them All” went viral on TikTok in 2022, hit number 1 in the UK and is now certified double platinum. Life has been a crazy ride lately for Eliza Rose. What most people don’t know is that the DJ, singer and producer from Hackney, London, has been an institution for British club culture long before she was headlining big festivals. 
    In conversation with The Week host Kikelomo, Eliza Rose talks about how East London has changed with gentrification, her early love for Harry Potter, what being underground means to her and her dream of owning a record shop one day.
