J Chambers is a Manchester based poet and hip hop artist. 2020 proved to be a pivotal time for him, as he cemented himself as one of the most important voices in the UK hip hop scene. His politically charged single ‘Kill The Noise’, was released in response to the Black Lives Matter protests, securing plaudits from Riddim Magazine, Eamilk, PRS in M-Magazine, and plays on Heartless Crew’s BBC 1Xtra show. Asa consequence, J was commissioned by the BBC to write and perform a moving spoken word poetry piece to open up Blue Peter’s Black History Month celebration. “I wanted to write something I thought would resonate with young children” he states discussing the project.
With lyrics of redemption, Black liberation, freedom and equality J Chambers explores the challenges of understanding culture and celebration of identity on ‘Escape The Kingdom’
