This is the Guardian.
It's Black History Month.
So on today's episode, we're talking about all things black British pop culture with DJ Target.
We've come on like leaps and bounds.
The UK garage has had a huge moment, and at the same time, there.
Was a new generation and Henry Khashue from Kiss fm.
His speech when he went up on stage was like, bro, I made this video with 80 English pounds.
That is culture right there.
You're listening to pop culture with me.
Shantae Joseph for the Guardian.
Listen, when Stormzy said, what a time to be a black Brit, I felt that in my chest.
As this Black History Month, I wanted to spend this episode celebrating pop culture through a black British lens.
Most people either call me Target, Targs, Targo, like, very few people call me Darren now, if you want to call me Darren, I'm not that, but you, whatever you're comfortable with.
Sometimes I forget that my own name's Darren because, like, it never gets used anymore.
DJ Target started his career in music as part of the grime collective Roll Deep.
He came into the studio to talk about the latest series of The Rap Game UK, which he host on BBC3 with.
Crept in Conan, but we started by talking about his own music career.
Had a big love of US rap music, rb, dancehall, bashman or ragger, as we called it back then.
My love for music just grew.
And then I discovered pirate radio, which was a big part of East London and jungle music.
