AJ Tracey Opens Up British Racism, Why J-Cole Shouldn't Have Apologised, Kylian Mbappe & New Music

You can’t tell the story of UK Rap without mentioning Dizzy Rascal, Wiley, Stormzy and our guest today, the microphone champ, AJ Tracey.

Born and raised in a street that would provide the name of his debut record’s smash hit, Ladbroke Grove, he’d go on to achieve five platinum singles and 2 billion Spotify plays.

And, he did it all as an independent artist in an industry monopolised by major labels.
