<p>My guest today is a fellow Hackney born and bred musician, who I’ve known since he was a kid…Kojey Radical!! He’s an incredible artist, creative director and poet, and has been nominated for MOBOs, Brits AND shortlisted for the Mercury Prize.</p><br><p>We speak about what it’s like to blow up as a musician and trying not to let it get to your head, as well as what he gets up to when he’s left home alone…</p><br><p>Kojey also talks about losing one of his closest friends to knife crime and the impact that had on him and his music.&nbsp;</p><br><p>The Wickers Charity is a great organisation working to reduce knife crime and provide opportunities for young people in East London.
