Ep.263 - A Pioneer's Perspective W/ MC Bushkin

Diggin' In The Digits

In conjunction with "What's Good?", this is a special DITD episode where Charlie heads to West London to talk with Garage pioneer and co-founder of Heartless Crew: MC Bushkin.

In anticipation of his film "The Story So Far" premiering @ Genesis Cinema the same day this episode drops, Bushkin talks his beginnings, notable moments in his Heartless Crew years but more broadly, get into the connections between Garage, Grime and beyond; also tracing the absurd rate of evolution Black British Music had in the 90s/00s, with Bushkin right there through all of it.

if you recently spun Narduwar's interview with Skepta, this'll be a great opportunity for you to go deeper into the history that made the likes of Skepta and his contemporaries.
