ho are you and what group are you part of?
I’m Target, he’s Manga, and we’re just two of the members from Roll Deep. In case people don’t know it’s a pretty well-known group from the UK. We’ve been doing this thing for 7 years plus. We’ve been doing the underground thing, brought out a few albums, had a bit of success commercially...but yeah, we’re still here, we’re still doing our thing. We’re just two of the members - there’s another ten who aren’t here today.
When you first started in music, did you find it hard to get from there to where you are now? At the time when Roll Deep came through, there wasn’t too many people doing well from our type of music, or from the underground in general, so we had to kind of break down the doors and do it that way. Today I’d say it’s probably a bit easier - you’ve got things like people being signed from
just being on the internet and you’ve got all these different artists doing so well, it makes things a little bit easier. But when we were coming up, say, five years ago, we were battling against...
Pop music? Yeah
Were you making like mix tapes? Not even mix tapes - it was like 12 inch vinyl and that at the start.
I heard that you got a new album...when’s it droppin? Well, we’re just working on it at the moment, so it’s not going to be til early next year. But we’re gonna be droppin music in the run up to it. Cos we feel like Roll Deep’s kinda had a bit of a break, and a lot of these other artists have had a chance to come through and do their thing, and we’re just ready to say ‘Right, we’ll have that back thanks.’
Any music videos people can
view
MES R O B E R T JA
look out for?
There’s always music videos....these guys have all been working on solo projects, and the videos and tracks for those solo projects are all kind of Roll Deep stuff, so if you go online there’s loads. The new album’s sounding big already. We’ve only just started doing it.
How long you been doing it for? This album?
This album we started a couple of weeks ago. We’ve been making music the whole time, but this Roll Deep album, we’ve only just started it. It’s gonna be coming out next year, but we’ve all got solo stuff. Everyone’s been concentrating on their solo stuff, but we’re kind of regrouping and coming back with the group thing from early next year.
“THe new album’s sounding big already”
southside MAGAZINE magazine 7 SOUTHSIDE How do you lot feel about the situation with Dizzee Rascal these grime people saying he’s sold out? I dunno....it seems like when you’re coming up everyone wants you to do well, and when you do well they wanna bring you back down, so you can’t really win. To get any commercial success these days you’ve gotta please the commercial audience, or you’re not gonna get to sell albums, you’re not gonna get to be number one. You’ve got Tinchy and Chipmunk and everyone else who’s come from the same scene and they’re all doing commercial music too, so really that whole ‘selling out’ thing’s a bit old.
So, on this new album, is there a lot of commercial stuff?
There’s a bit of commercial stuff, there’s street stuff, there’s just a balance between the two. You’ve got to get the balance.

Who are your top 3 MCs?
Wiley’s my favourite MC. He’s just the best - I don’t care what anyone says! He does the most work. He’s created all these people from Dizzee to Tinchy to...
everyone! If there wasn’t a Wiley there wouldn’t be a lot of this stuff, so he goes first for me. Then numbers two and three...I dunno, it’s hard. There’s a lot of people I rate at the moment.
How come J2K’s popped out at the moment?
southside MAGAZINE magazine 9 SOUTHSIDE
He was working hard a couple of years back then he - he didn’t have a break cos he’s always been around, but now he’s like at full speed again and he’s got a lot of music out and that’s probably why you’re hearing a lot about him at the moment.
Who do you lot look forward to
working with in the future? Where would you like your music to go?
We’ve been going all over the world, and we just wanna keep that going - as well as in this country - just keep the profile raising. Wherever we can sell music is a bonus really!

o what did you have for breakfast this morning… tea? Cereal? Your five-a-day? Or perhaps a fry up? And where do you normally go shopping… Asda? Next? Sainsbury’s? Topshop/Topman? Did you realise you come into contact with your global neighbours even before leaving the house? As you got dressed you put on clothes that have come via our neighbours from around the world… it’s your Nike trainers from Indonesia, your hooded top in Bangladesh and those jeans from Malaysia that remind us, actually our hands were not the first to touch our clothes. Even that most important meal of the day; did you realise the average breakfast has travelled more than 5000 miles to reach you? As you’ve had your cup of tea, banana, coffee, sugar or a glass of orange juice (obvi-
ously not all at once!), they have all passed through the hands of some of the world’s poorest people before landing on your kitchen table. With Christmas just around the corner, more and more of us becoming increasingly fashion conscious by the day because you know we want to keep up with the latest trend – it’s not surprising that our shopping has become cold and impersonal. We can so easily be sucked into the shopaholic culture – focusing more on what we can get to make ourselves feel better, rather than on what’s more important. On some days, it’s hard enough to smile at the person at the till let alone think of someone thousands of miles away who live out their life to make our jeans and pick our coffee - and yet not being able to afford basic essentials like nutritious food, adequate healthcare and basic accommodation. Some scary facts: We drink 31 billion cups of coffee in the UK each year.
southside SOUTHSIDE magazine MAGAZINE 21 21
Farmers who grow coffee beans receive only 1.5 pence from a cappucino that costs £1.75 in the UK. The average UK family spends more on chocolate in a year than a cocoa farmer earns in a year. 850 million factory and garment workers earn less than a living wage – most of them sharing with five other people! Who would have thought a cuppa for us could cost so much for others? I don’t know about you but I’ve always wondered why on a daily basis we see these figures and statistics and yet still carry on with our lives. Or sometimes we feel awful for two seconds but it just stops there because we think what possible difference can i make to change a catastrophic problem like poverty and global injustice? Clothes To Die For We rarely find out about the reality behind the products and its hard to stop and look beyond the bargain price tag when we shop. But how would things
change if we were to lift the label on our food Jars or clothing labels and found the reality of the life of the person who made the product? What if the labels also told us what it had cost the person who made the clothes you’re wearing right now? What was the price in terms of their time, their energy, their social life, their stress levels, their working conditions or their hopes and dreams? What if the labels on our clothes, food and other products told us this information about the people who supplied our favourite jeans or that really cool top...would we shop differently? The reality is these workers are among the most disadvantaged living in the world’s poorest countries. Many have no choice but to work long hours from 8am to 8pm six or even seven days a week – only earning a grand total of £20 a month. Here in the UK we have a million rights that protect us but for too many of the people who feed

unsafe and unhealthy conditions, sewing, stitching and gluing the clothes which often end up on our local high streets and around Europe. For many it is the only way to survive. So what can we do to change this?
Look for international standards when shopping ie. The Good Shopping Guide Logo Buy ethical and Fairtrade clothes – check out www.ethicallyme.com – stylish ranges for all seasons.
People before Profits The power of shopping with a conscience can have massive effects if everyone just gave a thought for the rising global injustice. Its kind of impossible for us shoppers to know how clothes are produced, even more to keep track with working conditions for every worker. The good news is there are companies who are putting people before profits. We can all do our little bit to influence change in global injustice that could not only challenge companies, retail shops and the garment but changes the lives of the people behind our clothes by benefiting the poor with: safe and healthy

hat is your job?
I work at the church two days a week and I’m a transitions support worker which translated means I help young children in the last year of primary school move to secondary school, and help them overcome any problems or difficulties they might have. If I can just quote what happened this year: I worked with 10 children in a school in Peckham, in a primary school and now I’m working with another 10 children that the school have identified to us. I work in one to one or group sessions with them.
I think it’s great what you’re doing, I love it. What sort of responses do you get from a groups in the past? Are they good/bad? Generally speaking they like the support and encouragement, they have all got different problems whether it be lack of confidence, self-esteem, maybe behaviour. Basically they like someone, like myself and my colleagues, to give them that extra support and help them at a very difficult time. Some children can actu-
ally move from primary to secondary school without a problem, but others do find that it is quite a major step in their lives and they find it hard to cope on their own.
Have you ever taken any groups to any activities?
I’ve been doing this work for just over two and a half years now and at the end of each academic year they are able to go away on a residential. We go away for two or three days and do a variety of activities. This year through Lambeth Council we planned a one day activity for the end of August. So yes it’s not just classroom/school work, we run other activities that they can join in on and be rewarded for all their efforts in working with us.
Did it all go well?
It did yes, basically a lot of the children I work with don’t go far for their holidays, don’t go far from inner London. The trip we took them on was good, packed full of activities, night hikes, boat trips, you name it we did it and they really enjoyed it. I think the hardest bit was coming back to Central London. We’ve also had day trips; we’ve taken them on the London Eye, up the river Thames and for some they know Central London, but it’s amazing
southside SOUTHSIDE magazine MAGAZINE 25 25
on s e n o J BoB how many of them don’t know London and for them it’s a opportunity to see what the capital has to offer.
Do you get any quiet children or sensitive children? Can you see their confidence improve? Very much so, all children are different, some I work with are very quiet and won’t say boo to a goose, you have to really encourage them. Normally I tend to work on a one to one with those sorts of children to build them up. At the beginning of one of my sessions I’ll always ask them to talk about the week they’ve had at school, what they’ve done outside of school and perhaps something in the news and that’s just an introduction to get them used to speaking out. It’s a slow process, but it does work, you don’t get immediate results but I think by working with them and giving them that support and them knowing that we will be there once a week helps.
What do you think of Southside? Well it’s the first time I’ve been here, and I’m very impressed it’s really good here and Jack I’m impressed with your level of commitment here and your enthusiasm, it certainly rubs off. Southside is very very good.
What do you think of the studio?
Well it’s very professional and you couldn’t ask for more really. I’m pleased to be here and I’m learning all the time.
We try to get as many young people here as possible get into radio. Let young people be young people, the moto for Southside is “For young people, by young people” and Oasis and the Church have helped the local youth community in general and they should continue on with it. You’re absolutely right there, the voice of youth like you, what you just said there is very good. I mean us adults are facilitators and part of my job is to help young people and guide them and I think that’s what the setup here is and the facilities here, and it’s over to you to make it happen.

What is your opinion on the impression given that most young people carry knives, especially young people in hoodies? Looking at the news and the media, how do you think the media influences people’s impressions? I think in my personal opinion people need to look at the other children, not all young people are bad. You get people here
at Southside who are lovely people. I think the media really needs to clock onto this and realise young people aren’t bad and we need to get that across. I do want to say I really love what you’re doing. I think it’s great; if I had that in my secondary school it would have really helped me out. I think everyone you work with in second-

It’s like when you mentioned the organisation The Prince’s Trust, and there’s Jack Petchey as well, for those who don’t know they give out grants for young people to use. They have done a lot around music, which is a massive influence on young people which I think is a great thing to focus on. It’s like here at Southside, they can record mix-tapes, they do radio shows, they can make beats; there’s different things for different people.

e n e d i s h t u o S Social Networking
When was the last time you were on a social networking website? “Well I was on like, last night, but everyone knows they’re very popular.”
best way to stay safe is: if you do use any of these networking sites, make sure you talk to people you know and don’t give out personal information.
The Archbishop of the Catholic Church says they have been keeping children in their homes, building fake friendships online, instead of socialising. This is what some of you thought: “I think they could be useful for people who live quite a distance away. I have parents in Italy, so I can chat with them.” “I don’t like it. I think it’s wrong for children - especially for young children anyway.” “I think as long as you use it properly and don’t do anything stupid with it, don’t bully on it or anything, or be offended by anything on there, then I think it’s a really good way to keep in touch with everyone.”
“As long as you ... don’t do anything stupid with it.” “I find people who stay up on it until like midnight quite sad, but it’s alright if you just wanna arrange parties and stuff”
Southside strongly recommends the
Illegal Downloads
When did you last download something? A new website has come out comparing prices for downloads, for example: Beyoncé’s “Sweet Dreams” ranges from 69p to 99p. We went out and spoke to the local people and here’s what they had to say: “I don’t download music” “Where do you download your music from?” “I’m not allowed to disclose that information. I’m not a snitch! It’s a bredrin’s site and all that.” “Is it illegal?”
ews “It is very much illegal” “Illegal downloads? Well to tell you the truth for us normal people it’s great innit. You know what I mean? Them people worried about losing big money, like the big companies, they don’t like that because they don’t like to hear we’re getting anything for free right? So it’s great, it keeps the prices down.” “Do you download illegally?” “If I get the chance yeah, anything I can find I download. My computer’s in my house, if I can download it of course I’ll download it for free - as long as I don’t get no virus” “I know it’s kind of unfair that the general public can take music off artists. I mean, artists put a lot of work in. I guess they wanna get their money as well.” Southside recommends that there are easier and cheaper ways to download music off of the internet.
Violence
Is there a link between violent lyrics and violent behaviour? We went on the streets to find out what you think. Recently under local news there have been numerous reports of gun and knife crime. A lot of the criticism has been about the music young people listen to. Southside Radio News Team went out on the streets to investigate how music affects young people and here’s what they had to say:
southside southside magazine 929 SOUTHSIDEmagazine MAGAZINE 29
“It’s hard to say, it depends a lot on the type of music they listen to. I personally think that a lot of the gangster rap type music does - it’s giving some young kids a bad example, with the swearing and talking about shooting and things like that.” “It reflects on how they behave, how they act on the street, how they walk, their gestures and stuff like that.” “Why do you think there are so many problems with youngsters when all they hear is gang bang music pumping down their heads and everyone wants to be a drug dealer?”
“all they have is gang Bang music pumping down their heads...” “I don’t think the relationship is really straightforward and you know if someone in the songs says something, that they will go out and do it. I don’t think it’s as simple as that.”
Southside Radio recommends that you know and draw the line between entertainment and reality.
Online Safety
“There’s nothing you can do about it, it doesn’t happen to everyone though, it’s only like one or two percent of people. It doesn’t really matter.” There are 250 million users on facebook and 45 million users on Twitter worldwide.
30
30 News
Recently three million users on Twitter were affected when they were unable to access their accounts. This was allegedly down to cyber-hacking. We went to the streets to find out what people thought about online safety: “If someone hacked into my facebook? Yeah then I would delete it because then I would feel safe. Like if someone knew my business and all that, yeah.” “Nah, not no more. That’s all hot, that’s all hot giving out your information and address and all that type of stuff” “Was that because people and that would hack into you account?” “Certainly, that’s why.” “I don’t want a stranger knowing what I like, obviously, but that’s why I kind of hide my profile.”
Sexting “Her picture got passed around to everyone, so it was kind of really bad. It takes away your self respect.” That was a quote taken from a young teenager, talking about the new phenomenon called ‘sexting’. Sending what is known as a ‘sext’ is an intimate or sexually explicit image of yourself to someone you’re in a relationship with. Southside’s News team went to the streets of London to find out what people thought about the issue: “I think it’s wrong! I don’t think you should do that with anyone. If you’re with your partner and you’re showing each other your body, then keep it at that. You shouldn’t have to take a picture.” “I dont think this is a good thing, young people getting involved in this kind of thing. It’s sending out the wrong message to people”
Spokeswoman Brandi Barker says, “No user data was at risk and they had restored all access to the sites for all users.”
Southside recommends that you consult your privacy settings, don’t add anyone you don’t know and for more information about staying safe online go to http://news.bbc.co.uk and look for how to stay safe on social sites.
“I don’t think you should do that with anyone” Southside recommends not to send indecent images of yourself, even if you trust the person you send it to, because you never know what will happen. Remember, it is illegal to take, hold or share indecent photos of anyone under the age of 18.

inge Drinking is one of the UK’s biggest health problems according to government statistics alcohol misuse costs the health service £2.7bn per year. There were 811,000 admissions in 2006-2007 into NHS hospitals due to alcohol related issues, this is a 71% rise since 2003. We sent the Southside News Team out to the streets to find out more about the issue: “Hi I’m Rose, and I’m the general manager of the Grand Union in Kennington.” A bar in Oldham has recently introduced a queuing system to buy drinks and you can only buy two drinks for the whole night. Do you think this will reduce alcohol consumption? “No I don’t. We used to have that system back home in New Zealand and it did not reduce alcohol consumption at all. I think that having the line up system will only make patrons more

There is a problem in the UK with binge drinking. Do you think that reducing the supply or increasing taxes will be a solution? “I don’t think increasing taxes will work at all. I think the money should be put into educating people in the diverse side affects of alcohol and the later on effects of how it hurts everybody. I think that would be better.” Alcohol abuse costs the UK £2.7bn per year do you think government is doing enough to solve the problem alcohol related issues and binge drinking? “In my personal opinion no, I think they should make it illegal” “I think they cause a lot of it” “I can’t really give you a good answer, because I’m not from here I’m from California in America.” “I don’t think they put enough rules in place and you get youngsters who drink on the streets. They should have more control of alcohol on the streets.” “It’s too freely available in places like Tesco’s and all those sort of places, and I think parents also need to look at what alcohol they keep at home and what’s available there because young people will go in and drink.” “I think shopkeepers and corner shops, they will sell it as well, just to

ort : B inge Dr inking make easy money.”
Do you think somebody who abuses alcohol should be entitled to free health care? “Yeah I think everybody should be entitled, regardless of their lifestyle choices” “Well I think everyone’s entitled to some sort of healthcare, but if you tackle the problem in the first place you won’t have a problem.” “If they’d admitted already they’ve got a problem with alcohol then they should maybe go through a course of rehabilitation. If they’re willing to do that, then okay, we’ll pay for it.” “It’s a problem that the person has created themselves so why should somebody else pay for the faults of that other person” “Yeah I agree, I think it’s just a drain on the system, when they’re doing it out of their own free will” The Conservative Party have come up with a manifesto to raise alcohol taxes. What do you think about that? Do you think that is a suitable way to deal with it? “No not really. that’s just beneficial to
the government because those with money are still going to drink and if they’re addicted to it they’re going to find a way to drink no matter what. So that doesn’t help us per se.” “It’s a waste of resources” “People will steal whatever.” “It won’t help because people will find money if they want to drink, it’s the same as drugs. If they want to take drugs they’ll find the money to do it and if they need to rob people to do that, they’ll do that as well.” “You know they actually did that in California with the tabacco tax to try and get people to stop smoking and it didn’t really help. Maybe they should take the tax money and put it towards something else. It didn’t really work.”
Southside recommends to drink sensibly, realistically know what your limits are and remember indulging in excessive amounts of alcohol can result in health problems. Alcohol: What’s the real cost?
