Month: June 2017

A huge thank to Kamio for hosting our third Grime Aid event on 15^th June, this time in conjunction with Noisey. We raised over £3,000 that we will distribute this summer across Europe to those fleeing the crisis in Somalia.

The night was kicked off by DJs A.G and Logan Sama, who both put on amazing sets. Our host for the night, Poet, then took to the stage to remind everyone of the cause and introduce the acts.

Thank  you to all the artists that gave up their time for such an important cause, to Noisey and Kamio for making it possible, and to everyone who came out – it was once again a night with an overwhelming feeling of love and unity!

Grime Aid is back and this time, in response to the famine and terror threat in Somalia, Road To Freedom has teamed up with Noisey to curate another Grime showcase to raise funds to purchase aid that will be handed directly to the Somalian refugees around Europe. With the on-going famine crisis and attacks from terror organisations such as El-Shebab and more, thousands have escaped with countless individuals drowning in the Mediterranean sea as they try to seek safety.

Over the past two years, the Road To Freedom team have been travelling to refugee camps all over Europe delivering aid (medicine, hygiene products, food and clothing) to men, women and children fleeing conflict in Africa and the Middle East.

With the support of artists including CHIP, WSTRN, Cadet, Abra Cadabra, Kojey Radical, President T, Jammer, Jammin, Shystie, 67, The HeavyTrackerz and more, who have performed at the previous fundraisers, the RTF team have been able to utilise 100% of the proceeds on past trips to distribute aid where it’s needed the most.

This year, hosted by Poet, Grime Aid returns with an equally impressive line-up, showcasing some of the UK’s most promising up and coming talent, as well as some of the grime scene’s pioneers.
