Gun and knife crime isn’t just affecting the lives of Londoners, but most recently the contagious culture has found its way towards the northern city of Liverpool and area of Merseyside. SAMM (Support after murder and manslaughter) have been supporting a group of six grime emcee’s and a female singer to create and release their debut single Campaign Time.
Due to the fact that such extreme and violent crime is on the increase in the area’s of Liverpool and Merseyside the group have come together under the umbrella of ‘Strummerville’ and committed themselves to change. Having all focused their energies on the positive attributes of their hometowns, the group have strategically targeted young people through their music. Although Shooting Star Poets are a northern based group, London emcees Trim and Obese also feature on this heartfelt rhythm.
Campaign Time is due for release on the 5th April 2010 and will be officially launched at Everton FC on the 31st March 2010.
Below you can watch the video for Campaign Time; regardless of the quality I suggest that you listen to the lyrics and be gobsmacked, for this group isn’t generic, but the message is.
Peace, Love and Life
