If you live in Glasgow, you are more likely to die young. Men die a full seven years earlier than their counterparts in other UK cities. Until recently, the causes of this excess mortality remained a mystery. “Deep-fried Mars bars,” some have speculated. “The weather,” others suggested. For years, those reasons were as good as any. In 2012, the Economist described it thus: “It is as if a malign vapour rises from the Clyde at night and settles in the lungs of sleeping Glaswegians.” The phenomenon has become known as the Glasgow effect. But David Walsh, a public health programme manager at the Glasgow Centre for Population Health, who led a study on the excess deaths in 2010, wasn’t satisfied with how the term was being used. “It turned into a Scooby-Doo mystery but it’s not an exciting thing,” he says. “It’s about people dying young, it’s about grief.” He wanted to work out why Glaswegians have a 30% … [Read more...] about The ‘Glasgow effect’ implies cities make us sad.

As grime continues to dominate dancefloors in 2017, it’s not the only inner-city sound to push black British music in bold new directions. Elsewhere, another wave of young experimentalists are swapping swirling moshpits for soul searching, and giving socially conscious rap a shock to the system. Among them is Kojey Radical, gravel-voiced spoken-word poet and mixed-media artist who is so snappily dressed he could make Kanye West break a sweat. His three EPs so far explore issues of identity, race, class and social unrest while sounding somewhere between Roots Manuva’s rasping theatricality and the sculptural minimalism of FKA twigs. Last year’s notable track Gallons, for example, confronts “how I feel every time I see my brothers get stopped and searched, or when I hear about another person of colour amount to nothing more than a commemorative hashtag”. His music videos, often shot around Hoxton where he grew up and still lives with his mother, are a way … [Read more...] about One to watch: Kojey Radical
