Drop It Raw is a platform where we do just that - Drop It Raw! No matter what the subject we will be discussing it with honesty, humour and energy. Every single episode includes a poem from Spoken Word poet Dan James and will likely host a diverse set of guests covering a range of topics.
Jaime's story is one of hope. We catch up on old times and talk about her experience in the rave scene. We then progress on to how she has overcome a series of setbacks in her life. From homelessness to being kidnapped as well as being convicted for fraud, she is now on the right path doing something she loves! Thank you for inspiring me Jay Kay Rollin'...
"If it's not a yes... Then it's a no!" We start the inspiration series w/ Becky who inspires me with her defiance and empowered attitude. She shares her story with openness, humour and energy. A few years ago she experienced the trauma of a sexual assault and wants to share her story so she can help others. Thank you for inspiring me Becky!
We discussed the culture surrounding underground music, aspirations, vinyl, 2Pac, social inequality, Stormzys speech at the Brits and even recording sets on tapes back in the day!!! Listen out for all the big ups + my customary poem at the end...
During this episode I shared tips on how to successfully interview for the position you most desire! Includes advice on how to tailor your CV, where to look for the right role and best interview practises. There are lots of anecdotes detailing my own real life experiences and as usual the episode concludes with a relevant poem!
During this episode I discuss what belief means to me and why it is important. Listen out for my completely unrelated poem at the end.
In this episode I was joined by UK Hip Hop Artist and proprietor of the bespoke clothing brand Authentix London, 3MB4! This was easily the most raw episode so far and the over arching theme of the show was propaganda. Inspired by the release of the Winston Churchill film and how we glorify certain elements of imperialism and completely ignore atrocities committed by the West. Listen out for the Spoken Word pieces shared by both myself and 3MB4!!!
We discuss frustrating aspects of the morning commute and share observations on the behaviour of our fellow public transport travellers. Listen out for our 'commuter courtesy' list/ suggestions on how to make your morning journey a less stressful one + a public transport inspired poem right at the end!
E.Hill joins me to discuss vinyl and the impact it has had on our lives!
