One of my favourite TV shows in recent years has been "Bulletproof", the action-packed, banter-filled cop show with Black British OGs Ashley Walters & Noel Clarke. Season 2 came through this year and was an entertaining watch from start to finish. I said something in this vein on Twitter soon after finishing the season and someone replied to my tweet. It just so happened to be the director of the first three episodes of "Bulletproof" S2.You can see where I'm going with this. I jumped at

A few years ago, I saw a show on BET that was helmed by the late, great John Singleton. It was called "Rebel" and starred an actress I've never seen until then.

But we decided to call it at two. Topics on Part 1 of our conversation

Continuing our interview SZN, we go to Pirate Studios in Earlsfield, London to meet with a true independent artist. Hailing from the US, ToeKnee Tee is the least 'homegrown' artist I've met so far. Instead of going the usual route an artist does by hitting up local shows and gaining a following, Tee instead jetted off to Australia and now around Europe going where the gigs are and making connections along the way. It's a fascinating path and I'm proud to hear his story. We also take the
