I chat with East London's RnB artist Ants XI about following in his family's footsteps in music, the process of creating the content which has gained him a huge online following and his advice on what has elevated him to become a one to watch in the industry. 

In part 2 (from 23:48), I meet the cast and director of the coming of age movie of the moment: Pirates - Reggie Yates' director debut for a feature film. Elliot Edusah plays Cappo, Jordan Peters as Two Tonne and Reda Elazouar as Kidda - the film follows the 3 teenagers who are on pirate radio as they drive across London, desperate to get tickets for the best millennium party EVER. It features music from Wookie, Sia, So Solid Crew and more garage artists and is out in cinema's now. Definitely one to go and support!

Bringing it Black exists to celebrate, showcase and collaborate with the hottest talent from London's Black community 🙌
