Jamal Edwards passes at the age of 31. Arguably one of the biggest influences on the uk rap scene and uk music over the last few years. All started with a £20 camera and a youtube channel. Put people like Ed Sheeran, Dave, and Stormzy on. Such a loss

Very sad news. I remember seeing the early Ed Sheeran videos on SBTV and loads of us saying he'd go far. Jamal leaves an incredible legacy - so many of the UK hip hop/grime/urban names tgat have come to prominence over the last decade had early exposure on SBTV that kicked things off for them.

Reading about sums of his philanthropic work, reopening youth centres.
RIP
