Episode 8: Sounds of the Black Atlantic: Re-Routing Rap

Sounds of Black Britain

It didn't start with us, but we definitely brought our own UK sound and style to it.

This week, we're talking all about Hip-Hop. From its birthplace in the Bronx, New York - thanks to a young, immigrant Jamaican DJ - all the way through to its global takeover in popular culture.

Joining Julie this week is UK Hip-Hop royalty Cookie Pryce from legendary UK Hip-Hop group The Cookie Crew and pioneering Grime/Hip-Hop MC, Chip.
