INTERVIEW | GHETTS (@THEREALGHETTS) ON BEATS 1 (@Beats1)

East Lon­don rap­per Ghetts is Julie Adenuga’s UK Rep­res­ent Artist this week on her Beats 1 show. Ghetts, who recently released his latest album ‘Ghetto Gos­pel: The New Test­a­ment’, talks to Julie about feel­ing over­whelmed by his album feed­back, espe­cially on the song ‘Black Rose’, want­ing to tour the album, col­our­ism, and how Grime isn’t dead.

“I don’t even react to that. They say it’s dead when there is no main­stream light on it or some­thing but I look at Drum N Bass. People that are not into drum and bass. They dont know six to sev­en drum and bass shows going on a week, big shows across the coun­try. I remem­ber RIP Storm­in but I just remem­ber when he got into that cul­ture he was doing more shows then us guys, Grime is a genre where it’s not based on sur­face listen­ers but the scenes still hap­pen­ing, there’s still great raves going on and all of these things.”

The fol­low­ing two tabs change con­tent below.
