Neneh Cherry: ‘Rap is a kind of freedom’

One of BBC Four’s recent Top of the Pops reruns from the late 1980s features a performance that many of us who were young girls at the time vividly remember. It was the debut in 1988 of an exhilarating, in-your-face artist, slotted between the soft seasonal balms of Freiheit’s Keeping the Dream Alive and Kylie and Jason’s Especially for You. She was 24, visibly pregnant, dancing in a gold bra, gold jacket and huge medallion, and doing something else that felt revolutionary: rapping.

Neneh was also in The Slits at one stage , so an early Rapper and also in the amazing Slits 👍👍👍

I like her! Neneh had pretty good music back in the day! Her rhymes & ballads did chime!
