"The people in power have misused their power"

Rapper Drillminister has hit out at the demonisation of drill music by politicians, highlighting it as a tactic to distract scrutiny from the real issues affecting the United Kingdom today. Speaking in Brighton during the 2019 Labour conference, the London-based rapper - who gained popularity due to the political nature of a number of his songs - told JOE that drill music is understood, perhaps intentionally, to stop people talking about actual problems. https://twitter.com/PoliticsJOE_UK/status/1176458011826622464 He hit out at politicians for abusing their power and for pushing through a Brexit strategy that will hurt the most vulnerable in our society. Check out Drillminister’s latest tune ‘Choke’ which aims to raise awareness for air pollution in the capital
