The hip-hop scene in Belfast may be in its infancy, but its brightest stars are shining on some of the biggest stages around the world.
Acts such as Irish language rap trio Kneecap and Grammy-nominated Jordan Adetunji have helped to pave the way for the next wave.
A new BBC NI documentary Born in Belfast: A Hip-Hop Story tells the story of how the genre found a home in Belfast and features interviews with Jordan Adetunji, Jun Tzu and other local artists including Leo Miyagee, T Mike, Emiliani and Lexus Monroe.
Born in Zimbabwe, raised in London and moving to Northern Ireland when he was 13, Leo Miyagee said the hip-hop scene in Belfast at that time was a “culture shock” and “50 years behind”, but now “there’s a lot more unity and a lot more talent coming through”.
