What a way to end it! 🔥🔥
4 years ago the Hip Hop Society at BiMM Bristol began, setup by @vicebeats The weekly socials have been the constant within that time, offering beat makers, producers, MCs, singers and musicians a chance to connect and collaborate 🤝
Over time we’ve had some amazing guests pass through, and as last week was the final session of the year we ended it in style with 2 of Bristol’s finest talents - @beat_cleaver and @iam13e who brought a combination of freestyle and beatbox, accompanied by society president @bizzle.beats on keys, it was 2+ hours of jammin, with a bunch of MCs getting involved. It was a beautiful moment, connecting and sharing a love of Hip Hop. 🎤 Have a great summer and we’ll see you in September! ☀️

Thank you, thank you, thank you to @adamthomaswalton at @bbcintroducing for being the first station to EVER play our new single 🔥
Support for independent artists, like us, is so important to nurturing the music scene and, so, it was awesome to be part of another one of your shows…
…even if I’ve never been to Sennybridge 🙈
Are You Listening? IS OUT NOW 🔥🔥🔥
This track explores the complexity of nightlife from a female perspective, with respect and consent often being ignored… It’s time something changed.
Are you listening? 🤨

The European Hip Hop Studies Network meeting in Groningen, Netherlands. Wow! 🔥🇳🇱 It was amazing to be part of it, from talking, to running an event, exploring the amazing city, seeing old friends and making new ones. It was a truly inspiring week and I feel so lucky to have been part of it.
A huge thanks to all of the organisers and team. You smashed it!
