Reverend Kate Bottley and Jason Mohammad chat to the MOBO Award-winning rapper, author and broadcaster Guvna B, about his latest ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 4 documentary ‘Rap Gets Real’. With black men the demographic most likely to suffer from mental illness – and also the least likely to seek help – Guvna B assesses the extent to which rap now actively tackles this epidemic.

He tells Kate and Jason about his personal journey, how he sank into depression and subsequently suffered a mental breakdown when his Dad passed away. He reflects on possible causes of his breakdown and on the progress he’s made through writing so openly and honestly.

We also meet Sharmeen Ziauddin, producer and host of the ‘She Speaks We Hear’ podcast - a platform for women, particularly Muslim women, to express themselves.

Plus, Pause for Thought.
