CONVO 03: BLACK & TAPPED (IN) where were be getting the chance to speak to these tastemakers for an insight and overview of the modern zeitgeist and beyond - within contemporary Black music culture and its outward influence, and how this is being shaped in within Scotland. We'll be joined by guests:

Aladji

Under her producer moniker ‘ladé’ she recently released ‘Nollywood Nightmares’ a short beat tape project collating sonic motifs by sampling excerpts of Nigerian media within a US style Boom Bap tape that who could hear artists like Mike or Earlsweatshirt rap on.

Bellarosa

Bellarosa, Producer, Event curator, has been the mama of the club for the baddies. Being raised within a globally conscious context, Bellarosa has been able to bring a taste of sound that transcend cultures whilst also being well versed in her usual staple of HIp Hop and Dance music from across the Black Diaspora. Bellarosa recently launched the first edition of her new club night ‘Bounce101’ - “a safe haven for baddies”

Pelé -
