Another chance to hear the two hour mixtape Young Fathers dropped prior to their performance at the 2018 Biggest Weekend.

Taking you on a journey from the lyrical consciousness of The Last Poets, through the world of hip hop and right over to the cinematic sounds of the late great Ennio Morricone.

Formed in Edinburgh in 2008 by Alloysious Massaquoi, Kayus Bankole and Graham 'G' Hastings. They signed to Big Dada Records and released their debut album, Dead, in 2014. The album gained a lot of critical attention and went on to win the prestigious Mercury Prize.

Their second album, White Men Are Black Men Too, followed in April 2015 and this year saw the Ninja Tune released third album Cocoa Sugar.
