Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn received the backing of dozens of Grime and Hip Hop artists in the recent UK elections. London-based rapper Awate met with Saskilla, Novar FLIP, Big Ben, Lady Shocker and more just weeks after the election, to ask their reasons for getting involved in mainstream politics this time round.
This week on the Flip Life Radio show, Novar FLIP & Big Ben take phone calls to discuss The UK General Election with Sean Dean, Tone, Sofia (Grime 4 Corbyn), Genesis Elijah, Chester P, Josh Cole (Rise Up UK) & Danny Bones.
Novar FLIP presents his Donny Bravo produced musical contribution to the Rize Up campaign that he also helped to set up. The campaign has been engaging young people in politics and the UK general election 2017, with support from Tinie Tempah, Professor Green, Riz Ahmed, Akala, Maverick Sabre, Emeli Sande, Lily Allen, Doc Brown, Brian May, UB40 and many more.
The Flip Life team recently worked on this official campaign video, directed by Josh Cole for the Labour Party. With music provided by Lily Allen, the visuals and people featured set a beautiful tone for one of the most monumental campaigns in the history of UK politics.
Doc Brown joined us in the build up to the UK general election to discuss getting young people engaged in politics. We touched on his involvement with the Rize Up campaign, the outcome of the forthcoming election, his days hosting the legendary Deal Real record shop events, his new album and much more.
