Ghetts, the renowned rapper, recently shared insights into his latest album, “On Purpose, With Purpose,” addressing a wide array of topics including knife crime, cancel culture, and postnatal depression. In a recent conversation, he expressed his dedication to his craft, describing his studio as a sanctuary and emphasizing the therapeutic value of his work.

Having been a prominent figure in the UK rap scene since the emergence of grime in the early 2000s, Ghetts has earned recognition as a trailblazer in the genre. His contributions were recently acknowledged with a pioneer award at the MOBOs, a moment he shared with his supportive parents.

Through his music, Ghetts delivers poignant social commentary, though he shies away from labeling it as political. Rather, he sees it as a reflection of contemporary issues and experiences, using his platform to shed light on various societal matters.

Notably, Ghetts tackles subjects such as postnatal depression and knife crime, offering perspectives that challenge conventional narratives. Drawing from personal experiences, including his time spent in prison as a teenager, he emphasizes the importance of having a vision and staying committed to it.

In tracks like “Double Standards,” Ghetts critiques societal injustices and calls for peace, stressing that it’s a fundamental right that should not be elusive. While he acknowledges his past endorsement of politicians like Jeremy Corbyn, he expresses disillusionment with current political figures like Keir Starmer.

Ghetts also addresses the phenomenon of cancel culture and what he perceives as a lack of critical thinking in contemporary discourse. Despite having numerous tracks that didn’t make it onto his albums, he hints at a future release, suggesting that his fans may have more to look forward to.

As Ghetts gears up for performances in Birmingham, Manchester, and London, his album continues to resonate with audiences, solidifying his status as an influential figure in the music industry.
