‘Rebel’ against Racism:  @JClarke_Ghetts to headline ‘Stand Up to Racism’, Saturday, March 22, Trafalgar Sq. #RWAC

Grime MC Ghetts will be headlining at the ‘Stand Up To Racism’ demo and rally on Saturday, March 22, Trafalgar square, London.

The event will assemble at 11am near the Mandela Statue in Trafalgar Square and form a procession to Trafalgar Square in time for a rally at 1pm – 4pm. Stand up to racism and fascism has been jointly organised by the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Unite Against Fascism (UAF) supported by a range of trade unions, faith and community organisers.

Following to the release of his debut, ‘Rebel With A Cause’ #RWAC (Which is currently No.#23 in the UK Charts) , the artist formerly known as ‘Ghetto’, has been involved with a number of initiatives that show that ‘Rebel With A Cause’ #RWAC is more than just a cool title for album, but a true description of an evolving artist, who is directing his raw,  and unapologetic approach to music, to support causes with social and political significance.

He recently did a secret pop-up gig at the Barbican, following the authorities decision to cancel ‘Just Jam’, an event that would’ve brought Grime artist together with a range of musicians from other electronic music genres. This comes after a series of events where Grime and Hip-hop artist have been barred from performing, and reopens the debate around the police’s use of 696 forms to target specific genres of music.

Could Ghetts’ future be in politics? Ghetts for Prime Minster!
