Ms Dynamite has once again criticised government policy – this time hitting out at their failure to tackle gun violence in black communities, and at the recent accusations of culture minister Kim Howells that gangsta rap was to blame for the rise in gun crime.
Speaking at the launch of the Stop The Violence campaign she told reporters Howell's comments showed the Government had no real understanding of the problem. "People can make out they are interested in a problem, but then they go and make comments like they have about our music. It shows no one's listening, no one's understanding and no one cares. In terms of gun violence and gun crime it's obvious - the problem is poverty. The Government have to give young people education and jobs, then none of this would be occurring."
