Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The self-styled "veteran soldier from the south-east with a swagger and a bop from mi heel to mi top", Jimmy Screech may be the man to push the capital's bashment scene firmly into the mainstream.
The glitchy beats and fizzing techno grooves provided by producers such as Benji Boko, Roots Manuva and Screech himself occupy a wide terrain where dancehall meets dubstep, and Screech has an engagingly warm, laconic take on workaday mores: being a "worker drone" dreaming of Jamaican beaches; tackling prickly relationships; and trying to break down the gangsta stereotypes that hold urban music back. There's an updated Leslie Kong/Sonia Pottinger feel to reggae skanks like "Wood 4 the Trees" and "Bullseye", while the dub-techno grooves of tracks such as "Telling Them Lies" have an appealing lightness of touch.
