How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.

I was a year late arrivin' to this party... No issues I've seen to this lateness - related, and Thank The Goodness it heads, futureward - unabated Definitely out there with the individual sound and lyrics that are sadly lacking in much of the mainstream of musical endeavours. Love this and will forward to all points of contact over by this way. Hopefully it will emanate outward from UK Chepstow, to the far flung points of this once noble land With love from the Place once balanced and great, with equal measures thrice; kind, fair and great, before the BreakShit crew voted, with poison and hate, and thus bequeathed to their kin, a lacklustre future lacking beauty and grace x
