Rap Trip: Underground Scenes Uncovered - Season 1 Episode 3 : The Rise of Asian Rap 2020

The British Asian rap scene is buzzing from within the community, but is it about to take off into the mainstream? And is ‘Asian rap’ a label that should be scrapped? In this episode, FOS and Ransom head to Leicester and Bradford to meet some of the rappers breaking through. In Leicester, the guys meet Jay Milli, a rapper of Punjabi heritage, and Ceejay. Jay introduces FOS and Ransom to WnP, Western and Punjabi Beats, before taking them to a night-time block party with fast cars and freestyles. The boys then head to Bradford, where local YouTube channel King of Da Hillz invites them to a video recording in a studio. They hear from HDUK and other Asian rappers about what it feels like to be marginalised in their own communities for being rappers.
