Welcome to Episode 20 of No Man’s An Island, a podcast powered by Men’s Therapy Hub, a directory of male therapists for male clients.
In this episode, Chris Hemmings is joined by East London rapper Armor, whose music career began while serving time in prison for GBH. What follows is a raw and deeply honest conversation about violence, masculinity, mental health and finding a way out of cycles that don’t end well.
Armor talks openly about growing up in Newham, domestic violence at home, early fatherhood, street life and how alcohol and ego led to a moment that changed everything. He reflects on discovering his music act in prison, using anonymity as protection and expression, and why his work now centres on anxiety, numbness and emotional survival rather than glorifying the lifestyle he came from.
This episode explores fatherlessness, identity, addiction, therapy and the slow work of rebuilding self-worth. It is a conversation about responsibility without shame, growth without erasing the past and what it really takes to choose a different future.
