Ban Bob Vylan? The people said ‘Nah’. We need artists that speak up. Our album ‘Humble As The Sun’ is back in the charts and, as an independent band releasing music on our own label, it shows the power of the people. You can’t get dropped if you own the label. Thank you all!

We urge the government to reform the law, to prevent the misuse of creative expression.

➡️ Come with us to Parliament to talk to MPs in about the use of rap music as evidence in criminal trials… #artnotevidence #rapontrial #rap #rapmusic #drill #drillmusic #jointenterprise #law #parliament #portcullishouse #westminster #debate #freedomofexpression #ukmusic

Excessive use of charging powers observed in joint enterprise trials, say researchers

Even bigger thanks to @KimJohnsonMP for speaking about us and our bill in the debate on the Crime and Policing bill last week - highlighting how rap music is so often used to produce ‘gang narratives’ and introduce racist stereotypes into the courtroom

ANE back in Parliament! Huge thanks to the APPG on Music and APPG on Miscarriages of Justice for coming together to support our cause and bill, specifically @KimJohnsonMP, @PeteWishart our day 1 @NadiaWhittomeMP and @UK_Music for facilitating.

Reform of joint enterprise law is long overdue. It’s unjust, racially biased & rooted in stereotypes. The law is broken, and it’s time Parliament acted to end this discriminatory doctrine. #JointEnterprise @artnotevidence @JENGbA
