E087 Cheraine Donalea Scott: Grime, Brexit, Identity Surviving Society Productions

Cheraine joined us to discuss the juxtaposition of Grime music's growing national appeal and the Conservative led antagonism expressed towards the Black British genre. Cheraine contests how this is revealing of the conflict between life in the UK verses how Britain sees itself.
