AJ Tracey: How The Government Is Failing Our Young People

Описание: AJ Tracey is rapper and producer notably from Ladbroke Grove; he's also an incredible voice for younger generations and social justice so obviously, I couldn't wait to have him over to chat...

AJ and I discuss being cheeky kids, how having ADHD would get us into trouble and how our mums have supported our careers - from giving us an example what it is to work hard, to buying our music and tickets at full price quite late into our careers.

We also talk about how the rising price of a pint is killing our British culture and we're joined by a very special guest, who has some important questions to ask AJ...

This conversation was everything I hoped it would be, deep, authentic, and great fun!
