After three years without a solo release, Stormzy is back with a new single, Mel Made Me Do It. It’s named after his personal stylist, aka Melissa’s Wardrobe. But not everyone knew that, and a satirical tweet by journalist Tobi Rachel ended up highlighting the lack of black journalists in newsrooms. Tobi drops in to tell De-Graft what happened.

And Stormzy’s track isn’t the only thing that’s dropped… the pound has too. It fell to an all-time low, against the dollar. Mr Money Jar, aka Timi Merriman-Johnson, explains what it means for people living in the UK, and the impact it could have when sending money to relatives abroad.

Also, Rihanna’s long-awaited musical comeback has been announced! De-Graft wants to know what your top Rihanna songs are – so WhatsApp us on +44 0330 123 9480. Please start your message with IYDK, to make sure we see it.
