This week we heard that we are officially out of the recession.

Hard to swallow at the poorest time of the year – the last week of January!

There is no doubt that the last 18 months have been tough – but how has the economic climate affected the Hip-Hop artist? – a group of people associated by many as having multiple cars, jewellery and a lavish lifestyle?

You can hear from the artists themselves to find answers to the following questions….

How have the Hip-Hop artists been effected by the economic downturn?
In what ways have they had to adjust?? Have they at all?
How has all of this affected the music and the scene as a whole??
Does the economy affect our taste in music??
What are the artist’s tips for the ways forward??
