BBC Radio 1Xtra - 1Xtra Talks with Richie Brave, It's Grime Up North

Charlie Sloth takes a road trip to find the North of England's hottest rappers.

Charlie Sloth takes a road trip to find the North of England's hottest rappers, proving there's far more to rap in the UK than just the London scene.

Charlie Sloth has been on a road-trip to find the hottest rappers up North and try to understand why rap music in the U.K is dominated by the London scene. 

He's travelled from Newcastle to Liverpool, Manchester to Sheffield, Huddersfield to Leeds; spent time in boxing gyms with aspiring MCs; and met feared battle-rappers working the night-shift in Morrisons. 

It's Radio 1 and 1Xtra's first multi-platform documentary available to both watch and listen. Featuring Shotty Horroh, Bang On, Tez Kidd, Hoodman, The Projekt and Sermstyle.
