This week, we're joined by Chiedu Oraka, a rapper who has pioneered the rap and grime scene in his hometown of Hull in the North West of England with his music, his label Room 73 and his Lockdown collective.

He talks about growing up as a minority in Hull, bringing a new kind of rap to the city, his place in the scene, his clashes with major labels, why non-London rappers are the best around, new music and more.

Music: Chiedu Oraka - Helly Hansen 5
