My guest today is a fellow Hackney born and bred musician, who I’ve known since he was a kid…Kojey Radical!! He’s an incredible artist, creative director and poet, and has been nominated for MOBOs, Brits AND shortlisted for the Mercury Prize.
We speak about what it’s like to blow up as a musician and trying not to let it get to your head, as well as what he gets up to when he’s left home alone…
Kojey also talks about losing one of his closest friends to knife crime and the impact that had on him and his music.
The Wickers Charity is a great organisation working to reduce knife crime and provide opportunities for young people in East London. If you want to support them, you can donate here: https://wickers.org.uk/donate/.
