In this month’s episode we had the pleasure in speaking with Smoked Poet, a Kashmiri Street Poet from East London (Walthamstow). Get a glimpse into the world of East London pre and post gentrification, the collectives which have formed in past/recent years, insight into Kashmiri history, poetry, resist against occupations and the continuous genocides there.
We’ll also be hearing from some of the selected artists who inspire the work and flow of Smoked Poets like Hak Baker, MF Doom, Capital Steez, and developing hip hop underground culture in the UK and internationally like Lex Amor, Kojey radical, Green tea peng, Ghetts, Kano, No name, Dua Saleh, among other international artists who Smoked Poet has worked or collaborated with.
