Interview: Using Hip-Hop to fight poverty and protect young people

The Big Issue meets the founder of Beats Bus Records to hear about the work they are doing to empower young people in Hull.

“There’s a lot of pressure on young people to have the latest gadgets, the latest clothes, all the peer pressure. It’s getting harder and more young people are turning to places to get money where they shouldn’t be.”

“We want to show them that they can create their own career choice or their own path of choice with music and the arts rather than taking choices that’s going to lead them down a wrong path and ultimately, end them up in jail.”
