Have to say it was nice to read this. While we can’t overlook the significance of our deep-rooted folk heritage, the night plans to laud the other voices woven into our rich musical tapestry. Scottish hip-hop, once a joke has become an unstoppable reactionary force against the marginalisation of our nation. The roster features Loki, a Glaswegian rapper who is bricks and mortar to the genre. Producing his first album at just nineteen, phoenixing from the ashes of homelessness, death and substance abuse, his revolutionary rhymes, ruthless delivery, and tireless activism have earned him a spot amongst the country’s most outspoken MC’s. The significance of burgeoning celt hip-hop genre is undeniable, with the Gaidhlig community’s own MC Gille-Goillidh performing Up-Ap, and album–only support in the form of Stanley Odd’s laser-guided funk precision and mighty political lyricism.
