After nine years, Mike Skinner releases the first full-length mixtape with The Streets. NBHAP author Louisa used the opportunity to call the rap legend in his London home to talk about morning routines, career advice and the weird concept of mixtapes.
Emma‑Jean Thackray is a multi-dimensional wonder. She single-handedly wrote, recorded, arranged, and produced every element of her new release "Weirdo" in her South London flat. The result is a deeply personal, emotionally charged record that traces her journey through grief and loss. Alice Vyyvan-Jones spoke to the artist about the album and how music became a lifeline in the wake of tragedy.
