About Bombin', and the birth of the hip-hop culture in the UK

Very interesting talk about the birth of hip-hop and graffiti in England in the 80s.

James Lavelle programmed the 1987 film at the Southbank Centre when he curated the Meltdown Festival in 2014, where this discussion was held.

Fascinating and lively insights from Goldie into this scene.
