We dig into the recent trend of underground UK artists repping the British flag, including Jim Legxacy, YT and Skaiwater, as a way of reclaiming and crafting their own idea of Britishness. We discuss whether they need to dig deeper in order to portray the realities of Black British life and our personal feelings about the history of the Union Jack.
Later, we review Milton Keynes-born, South London-based producer afrosurrealist’s debut album ‘BUYBRITISH’ which features the likes of Ceebo, Zino Vinci, Tay Jordan and more.
We wrap up by naming our favourite hip-hop related films.
