				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night on <em>I&#8217;m A Celebrity&#8230; Get Me Out Of Here!</em>, The Jungle Arms reopened and the karaoke challenge allowed campmates to show of their music skills, but it was Aitch who delivered the most emotional moment of the evening.</p>
<p>The Manchester based rapper <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/manchester-rapper-aitch-announced-for-im-a-celebrity-get-me-out-of-here-line-up/" target="_blank">was announced to go in the jungle last month</a> and last night he performed his hit single &#8216;My G&#8217; which he had originally released in 2022 with Ed Sheeran. The song is dedicated to his younger sister Gracie, who has down syndrome, and has always resonated with fans not only due to the moving lyrics, but also for the love Aitch has always expressed for his sibling.</p>

<p data-start="283" data-end="982">With Ed Sheeran being unavailable to join him in the jungle, Aitch invited his close friend Angry Ginge to perform with him. His fellow celebrities were touched, sharing their emotional reactions as the performance went on. Viewers watching also felt the same way praising the beautiful moment and saying how the heartfelt tribute left them in tears.</p>
<p data-start="283" data-end="982">Fans commented on how proud Gracie and the rest of his family must feel, applauding Aitch for sharing such an important message during his jungle journey.</p>
<p data-start="283" data-end="982">Aitch, whose real name is Harrison James Armstrong, has been open about the reason why he joined the jungle this year. Speaking on ahead of his arrival, he explained that his biggest motivation was to raise awareness for those living with Down Syndrome, as well as their families.</p>

The rapper told reporters he was &#8220;ready for anything&#8221; and joked about the show&#8217;s famous Bushtucker Trials. &#8220;Snake on toast? That&#8217;s all right that, innit?&#8221; he laughed, adding that he&#8217;ll miss his sister the most while he&#8217;s away.</p>

<p>The ITV reality series, hosted by Ant and Dec, sees celebrities live together in the Australian jungle while facing a series on mental and physical challenges. It returns to ITV on November 16, with the full-line up featuring a mixture of TV personalities, athletes, and entertainers.</p>
<p>Joining Aitch this year in the jungle is a mix of familiar faces across different areas of UK entertainment. Ruby Wax, comedian and mental-health advocate; and Martin Kemp, Spandau Ballet bassist and actor, bring decades of showbiz experience. They&#8217;re joined by Kelly Brook, model and presenter; and Jack Osbourne, reality-TV star and son of Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne.</p>
<p data-start="1381" data-end="1787">Joining them is Alex Scott MBE, former England footballer and broadcaster; comedian Eddie Kadi; Lisa Riley, known for her role in &#8216;<em>Emmerdale&#8217;</em>; and Shona McGarty, who recently left &#8216;<em>Emmerdale&#8217;</em>. Finally, social-media personality Angry Ginge (real name Morgan Burtwistle) joins the line-up, and his rise from social media adds a Gen Z twist to the line-up.</p>
<p data-start="1381" data-end="1787">Aitch&#8217;s inclusion marks one of the first times a major UK rap artist has taken part in &#8216;<em>I&#8217;m a Celeb&#8217;</em>, showing how to genre continues to break into mainstream media. Since emerging from Manchester&#8217;s rap scene in 2018, Aitch has become one of the most prominent names in British rap, earning multiple Top 10 singles, a BRIT nomination, and collaborations with artists such as Ed Sheeran and Stormzy. His mix of cheeky humour, lyrical skill, and Northern charm has made him a relatable figure in UK music.</p>
<p data-start="1381" data-end="1787">Fans have predicted Aitch will bring personality and banter to the jungle.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Both Aitch and Central Cee have started 2025 with a bang, dropping iconic UK Rap tracks that have captured the attention of fans. The tension began with Central Cee’s diss of the Mancunian rapper in his track ‘5 Star’, to which Aitch swiftly responded with his own diss track, ‘A Guy Called?’, released the same day. </span></p>
<p><iframe style="border-radius: 12px;" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/track/3T8y3z2g4KTQqtRjTY05JM?utm_source=generator" width="100%" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">‘5 Star’ is the second song from <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/central-cee-drops-debut-album-cant-rush-greatness-almost-a-decade-late/" target="_blank">Cench’s debut album &#8216;<em>Can’t Rush Greatness’</em> (released on January 24)</a>, showcasing the London rapper’s reflections on his career. With his signature rapid-fire delivery over drill-inspired beats, Cee describes his rise in the music industry, from his struggles and success to his evolving perspective on fame. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The introspective track begins by referencing Cench’s iconic <a href="https://youtu.be/DGsj7908BGQ?feature=shared" target="_blank">‘Mad About Bars’ freestyle in 2020</a>, where he boldly stated &#8220;Should’ve known you can’t rush greatness&#8221;, inspiring the album’s title. He also touches on his public relationship with influencer Madeline Argy and his early struggles, rapping “Previously it was crime that paid, but now, I get by in a righteous way”. These elements form the core of his album’s narrative.</span></p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vWgwR-lDvVY?si=u-MPBedIvQi_IBDG" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the track’s most talked-about verse, Cee recalls the <a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/brit-awards-2023-winners-in-full-harry-styles-wet-leg-aitch-and-more__38461/" target="_blank">2023 BRIT Awards</a>, where Aitch won Best HipHop/Grime/Rap Act: “I felt like a p**** when I went to the BRITs and they gave the award to a guy called Aitch.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This marks the second time Cee’s named the 25-year-old rapper in his music, building on his 2020 track <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/5WO3QkGOymQew1hH2A6oNY?si=cdb7451f48f84b38" target="_blank">‘Molly’</a>, where he compared their early careers with “Man said 21 with a mill/ I need the same deal as Aitch’s.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aitch’s win at the BRITs was met with mixed reactions, as some felt other nominees &#8211; like Stormzy, Loyle  Carner, Dave, and Central Cee &#8211; had a more impactful year than him. This was even more surprising as the latter two’s single <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/2FDTHlrBguDzQkp7PVj16Q?si=da9942f5d9444092" target="_blank">‘Sprinter’</a> was one of the biggest songs of the year globally and <a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/dave-central-cee-sprinter-number-1-10-weeks/" target="_blank">became the first UK Rap track in history to spend 10 weeks at No. 1</a>.<br />

<p><script src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js" async=""></script><span style="font-weight: 400;"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Hours after <em>‘Can’t Rush Greatness’</em> dropped, Aitch posted a story of a cartoon contemplating pressing a button on his Instagram, hinting at new music <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/aitch-drops-new-single-ahead-of-mount-kilimanjaro-fundraiser/" target="_blank">only a week after his latest release</a>. By 4 p.m., he released ‘A Guy Called?’ &#8211; a sharp diss track targeting Central Cee’s credibility, musical talent, and personal life. </span> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The fiery and assertive song opens with an audio clip of Arsenal footballer Declan Rice announcing Aitch’s 2023 BRIT win. He sets the tone of the single with the line, “Influencers, they ain’t contenders, jump in the booth for something to do,” mocking Cee’s reliance on TikTok to boost his popularity.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aitch’s verses are packed with clever wordplay, directly responding to Central Cee&#8217;s claims and creating a lyrical dialogue between their releases. For example, in response to Cee&#8217;s boast, “I’ve got more money than all of my elders even though they’re twice my age” Aitch counters with witty retort “You got more money than all your elders, lucky for me, I’m younger than you.” </span>He also takes aim at Cee&#8217;s broader discography, including the single <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/0oZ1hEmIpbO3PzREe2HZeL?si=21ba4ba4e45940e3" target="_blank">&#8216;BAND4BAND&#8217;</a>, with “We can go bar for bar, BRIT for BRIT, punch for punch.”</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pDddlvCfTiw?si=xKVD4_1CPmWhMM8d" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Regarding his wider discography, throughout the track Aitch accuses the London-based rapper of using ghostwriters, naming his collaborator Clint419, founder of CORTEIZ clothing, and referencing Clint’s alleged racist tweets. </span></p>
<p>Not holding back, Aitch mocks Cee’s social media presence and claiming he “ain’t scared of man with his hair in a bun.” He dismisses Cee&#8217;s diss entirely with, “You just mad ‘cause you can’t beat me”, before advising him to move on, rapping, “Bringing the BRITs up two years later, f*** my life, you should go live yours.”</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The track ends with a direct rebuttal to Cee’s “a guy called Aitch” line, declaring “P*****, you know what my name is,” followed by a sample of Cee’s song ‘Molly’, emphasising the rivalry’s history. Aitch’s final line speaks directly to Cench, “Listen, just remember this, yeah? I made millions of my rapping ability/ You made millions of capping and imagery,” underscoring his calm confidence.</span></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>
If the only response from Cench towards Aitch is an Instagram comment, then that&#8217;s acceptance of defeat. <a href="https://t.co/9YzKR4uqEB">pic.twitter.com/9YzKR4uqEB</a> — aRaYMeDiA (@aRaYMeDiA) <a href="https://twitter.com/aRaYMeDiA/status/1882897156463525941?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 24, 2025</a>
</p></blockquote>
<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For fans expecting a drawn-out lyrical battle akin to Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s infamous exchanges last year, Central Cee’s only response was a lighthearted comment on Aitch&#8217;s Instagram post, suggesting the rivalry may be more playful than personal.</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aitch kicked off 2025 with the release of his new single, ‘Raving In The Studio’, on January 16, signalling an exciting new direction in his music. The track marks the beginning of a promising year for the Manchester rapper, who is set to hike Mount Kilimanjaro this month to raise money for the Down’s Syndrome Association. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Born Harrison James Armstrong, Aitch is known best for hits like <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/23GvTfcGK454ppLsts3W44?si=7157d3f2e3434b85" target="_blank">‘Strike A Pose’</a>, his collaborative track <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/5LBikzSkad9yQ6RH87Gdrm?si=6c648aa71b07432c" target="_blank">‘Rain’</a>, and iconic <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/1xPpYbCaJWonL7IFXPDjON?si=ebc78719922448a1" target="_blank">‘Taste (Make It Shake)’</a>, all of which secured <a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/aitchs-official-top-10-biggest-tracks-in-the-uk-revealed__35497/" target="_blank">Top 10 chart positions and amassed over 900,000 chart units each</a>. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">His music is defined by his signature blend of Rap and Grime, clever wordplay, and distinctive Mancunian accent. While he is celebrated for upbeat tracks and infectious hooks, he also demonstrates a more reflective side with the 2022 release <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/6Iqz3QB6zSdn1N61acinau?si=987bef89d1d94594" target="_blank">‘My G’</a>, a heartfelt collaboration with Ed Sheeran as part of Aitch’s debut studio album </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">‘Close to Home’</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><iframe style="border-radius: 12px;" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/album/4ZBwKt9Zp3MF9iqqa9Z01R?utm_source=generator" width="100%" height="352" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although not his traditional style, ‘My G’ stands apart from discography as a deeply personal tribute to his younger sister, Gracie, who has Down syndrome. The song’s focus on family love, unconditional support, and Aitch’s bond with his sister allowed the rapper to connect and resonate with fans worldwide. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2023, Aitch further demonstrated his commitment to advocacy by taking part in the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/apr/22/rapper-aitch-inspired-by-sister-to-skydive-for-downs-syndrome-awareness" target="_blank">World Down Syndrome Day Skydive</a> where he fell, in tandem with his instructor, from 15,000 feet and raised a remarkable £50,000.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This year he’s decided to do something “madder than jumping out a plane” and taken on the challenge of climbing the tallest free-standing mountain in the world, Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, and <a href="https://justgiving.com/fundraising/aitchwdsd" target="_blank">increased his fundraising goal to £70,000</a>. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As an <a href="https://www.downs-syndrome.org.uk/news/news-research/dsa-news/platinum-selling-manchester-rapper-aitch-joins-the-downs-syndrome-association-as-ambassador/" target="_blank">Ambassador for the Down Syndrome Association, Aitch shared</a>: “My little sister Gracie is an inspiration to me and my family, so becoming an Ambassador for the Down’s Syndrome Association, DSA, the only charity in UK which addresses all aspects of Down’s syndrome, means I can help to promote the profile of the DSA on a global basis and here at home in UK, hopefully engaging and educating more younger people along the way. By representing the DSA, I hope I can make a difference for my sister and everyone else around the world with Down’s syndrome, who have as much right to a fully inclusive life as the rest of us.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ahead of this hiking adventure, Aitch collaborated with producer Bou on ‘Raving In The Studio’, a creative track that marks a shift into drum and bass for the British rapper. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Buo’s production centres around the sample from Gorillaz’s 2005 hit <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/0d28khcov6AiegSCpG5TuT?si=15859de26915408e" target="_blank">‘Feel Good Inc.’</a> featuring De La Soul. The iconic bassline provides a fresh backdrop for Aitch’s witty verses with the catchy hook “If the club ain’t open, then I’m ravin’ in the studio”. The innovative fusion of the familiar sample with Aitch’s rapid fire delivery is sure to establish the single as a beloved, energetic anthem.</span></p>

<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aitch continues to push boundaries both musically and personally, cementing his status as a dynamic and multifaceted artist. ‘Raving In The Studio’ highlights his ability to experiment and collaborate innovatively. With his upcoming climb of Mount Kilimanjaro, Aitch solidifies his role not just as a prominent figure in the UK music scene but also as a dedicated advocate for inclusivity and positive change.</span></p>

<p>This new album is Headie One&#8217;s first solo record in three years, and follows &#8216;Too Loyal for My Own Good&#8217;, released in 2021. Since then, he has released two albums in collaboration with other artists, &#8216;No Borders: European Compilation Project&#8217; with artists such as Gazo, Luciano, Shiva, and Hamza, alongside &#8216;STRENGTH TO STRENGTH&#8217;, which he produced with K-trap.</p>
<p>Recently, Headie One released a sneak peek of the upcoming album, as he released &#8216;Tipsy&#8217;, featuring Aitch. So far, he has also released three other songs from his new album, including: &#8216;Martin&#8217;s Sofa&#8217;, &#8216;I Still Know Better&#8217;, and &#8216;Cry No More&#8217; featuring Stormzy and Tay Keith. The anticipation for his new album is consistently rising, as he also released a music video for &#8216;Tipsy&#8217;, which you can watch below.<br />
<iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/V1WLYM8kZeU?si=tymGPsaDpXIUSHk2" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>In addition to his new album, he also recently announced a European and his first ever Australian tour, that will take him to Gold Coast, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Manchester, Dublin, Glasgow, London, Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Paris, Antwerp, Cologne, Frankfert, Munich, Berlin, and Zurich this October and November, and next February and March. You can find tickets <a title="Headie One tickets" href="https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/search?q=headie+one" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>His new album, is set to be an exciting one, as his 2020 album, &#8216;EDNA&#8217;, made history as it was the first drill album to top the UK charts, leaving the possibilities for his new album endless. The success of his music has lead to Headie One being considered a pioneer of UK drill music, and he is part of OFB, that stands for Original Farmer Boys and is a group made up of prominent drill artists from Tottenham, such as Bandokay, and Double Lz.</p>
<p>When <a title="Headie One’s new album ‘The Last One’ features Skrillex, AJ Tracey, Stormzy, Aitch and more" href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/headie-ones-new-album-the-last-one-features-skrillex-aj-tracey-stormzy-aitch-and-more-3768535" target="_blank">talking to NME</a> about his new album, he assured fans that &#8220;it’s the last one but it’s not the last one you know?&#8221;, so they can rest assured that the album&#8217;s name does not reflect the end of his career. He also told NME that &#8220;this album is about the place we come from, the negative things that happened and that are still in effect today so I’m giving a lot of home truths in this one&#8221;, exciting fans with the intimacy of his new album, which you can pre-order <a title="Pre-order 'The Last One'" href="https://store.on-repeat.co.uk/collections/headie-one" target="_blank">here</a>. If you pre-order the album by 4pm on the 26th June, then you will have the opportunity to enter a competition to watch Headie One from backstage at Glastonbury Festival on Friday 28th June with a plus one.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TikTok sensation Gabriels and ethereal popstar AURORA have been announced as the latest addition to BRITs Week&#8217;s stellar 2024 line-up. The annual series of intimate fundraiser gigs takes place in the weeks leading up to the BRIT Awards in venues up and down the UK. Since BRITs Week’s inception in 2009, the shows have raised more than £7m for War Child, supporting vulnerable children and young people around the globe whose lives have been torn apart by war.</p>
<p>The British-American three-piece Gabriels will be performing a late night show at Ronnie Scott&#8217;s in Soho, and have also teased that a &#8216;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/__gabriels__/p/C2wrAwQgZWA/?hl=en"><em>very special guest</em></a>&#8216; will be accompanying them. The group were thrilled to be nominated for BBC Radio 1&#8217;s Sound of 2023, and are more recently excited by their nomination for Best International Group of The Year at The BRITs for the second year in a row:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">It’s official. We are Nominees for International Group of the Year at the <a href="https://twitter.com/BRITs?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@brits</a>, for the second year in a row. We are so grateful. Congratulations to all the nominees and a THOUSAND THANK YOUs to everyone who made this possible. See you on the red carpet &#8211; March 2nd.  <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BRITs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#BRITs</a> <a href="https://t.co/T29gpxyOGt">pic.twitter.com/T29gpxyOGt</a></p>
<p>— Gabriels (@___gabriels) <a href="https://twitter.com/___gabriels/status/1750194385420001359?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 24, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Celestial singer-songwriter AURORA will also be taking to the stage following the release of her latest single &#8216;<em>The Conflict Of The Mind</em>.&#8217; Born in Norway, the omnipresent vocalist has built a huge UK following, and will be performing in collaboration with the charity on February 26 at Lafayette in London.</p>

<p>Unveiling the two musicians as the final additions, War Child <a href="https://www.instagram.com/warchilduk/p/C2wrAu9O1eu/?hl=en">said</a>: “<em>These incredible acts are joining us to raise money for children affected by conflict and help give them what they deserve: hope for a better future</em>.”</p>
<p>Taking place between February 19 and March 4 ahead of The BRIT Awards 2024 with Mastercard, BRITs Week will offer exclusive live performances from a diverse range of acts from different genres, including Cian Ducrot, <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/you-me-at-six-announce-split-after-20-years/">You Me At Six</a>, Keane, Ash, Baby Queen, Aitch, Pendulum, Sleaford Mods, CMAT, Venbee and <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-last-dinner-party-releases-new-debut-album-prelude-to-ecstasy/">The Last Dinner Party</a>.</p>

<p>Performances may be more poignant than usual, particularly for fans of You Me At Six who have revealed this will be their last year together as a band. Emotions may also be running high for The Last Dinner Party who are still reeling from their BRIT Rising Star win.</p>
<p>Clare Sanders Wright, Senior Music Manager at War Child said in a <a href="https://www.brits.co.uk/news/brits-week-24-for-war-child-lineup-announced">statement</a>:<strong> </strong>“<em>I am so excited to announce the lineup for BRITs Week 2024 and thankful to all of the brilliant artists donating their time to raise vital funds in aid of War Child. The past year is one that we will never, ever forget. Children have paid with their homes and their lives for wars they didn’t start. And then, there are the children who don’t make the headlines – children who might be completely forgotten</em>.”</p>
<p>“<em>But there is hope. War Child help children put the pieces back together. The money raised from BRITs Week 2024 will help War Child keep children safe. Whether it’s mental health first aid, food, or shelter, War Child work in the hardest-to-reach places to ensure that children and their families have hope for a brighter future. We are so grateful to the artists and our partners for supporting BRITs Week 24. Thank you.</em>” she added.</p>

<p>Ben Cooper, Chief Content &amp; Music Officer for Bauer Media Audio UK <a href="https://www.brits.co.uk/news/brits-week-24-for-war-child-lineup-announced">commented</a>: “<em>It’s a privilege to be partnering with War Child and for Bauer Audio brands to be hosting this year’s incredible line up of BRITs Week gigs.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A mural to Joy Division&#8217;s iconic frontman Ian Curtis is set to return to <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-hacienda-returns-to-manchester-with-homecoming-show-to-include-ian-brown-and-leftfield-as-headliners/">Manchester</a> after the original was painted over last year with an ad for local rapper Aitch&#8217;s <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/aitchs-close-to-home-becomes-first-nft-release-to-enter-the-uk-album-charts/">debut album</a>.</p>
<p>The tribute to the post-punk pioneer first appeared in October 2020 on a house in Port Street in the city&#8217;s Northern Quarter. Local artist Akse created the mural in collaboration with Headstock, a festival designed to bring together great music with mental wellbeing, in a bid to raise awareness for mental health and to promote Shout, a mental health free text messaging service constructed to help people with their mental wellbeing.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">It’s come to light that the iconic Ian Curtis mural on Port Street has been painted over with my album artwork. This is the first time I’ve heard of this, me and my team are getting this fixed pronto. No way on earth would I want to disrespect a local hero like Ian.</p>
<p>MCR</p>
<p>— Aitch (@OfficialAitch) <a href="https://twitter.com/OfficialAitch/status/1559663781302657034?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 16, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" type="mce-no/type" charset="utf-8"></script>The rapper, however, to his credit, was quick to dispel any knowledge of the mural being tainted by an ad for his album, reassuring his Twitter followers of his desire to bring back the original artwork. He <a href="https://twitter.com/OfficialAitch/status/1559663781302657034?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1559663781302657034%7Ctwgr%5E85ed78d2d05158b4891d21080cc696a6d94d4bbb%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nme.com%2Fnews%2Fmusic%2Fian-curtis-mural-to-return-to-manchester-after-being-painted-over-for-aitch-album-ad-last-year-3482649">stated </a>on the platform, &#8220;<em>It&#8217;s come to light that the Ian Curtis mural on Port Street has been painted over with my album artwork. This is the first time I’ve heard of this, me and my team are getting this fixed pronto. No way on earth would I want to disrespect a local hero like Ian.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>The repainting of the mural will be done once more by the original artist Akse but in a different location, given that 75 Port Street now reportedly cannot be used anymore. The Star and Garter pub on Fairfield Street, a few streets to the South West of the original location, is now reportedly set to be the new location for the mural after it was revealed that Headstock are applying for planning permission to re-home the magnificent depiction of Curtis on the side of the pub.</p>
<p>The repainting of the mural is without a doubt a victory for Headstock and for the mental wellbeing of the people of Manchester and beyond and will, in turn, delight fans of Joy Division and of Curtis himself, who, after suffering from depression and epilepsy, sadly took his own life at the young age of 23, just before the release of Joy Division&#8217;s second album <em>Closer </em>and the group&#8217;s first North American tour.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>English 2 tone ska band The Selecter are set to release a new album later on this month. <em>Human Algebra</em>, out on April 21st, will be the group&#8217;s 16th studio album following their last release, <em>Daylight</em>, back in 2017.</p>
<p>Formed in Coventry in 1979, The Selecter has become synonymous with the 2 tone ska revival movement in Britain, epitomising the movement&#8217;s core values with their multi-racial and multi-gendered lineup. Influenced by Jamaican ska music of the 1960s, bands such as The Selecter and The Specials combined the rocksteady beats of ska with new wave and punk, creating a genre that brought together not only two distinct types of music but also two races of people , thereby effectively acting as a frontline against racial violence and hatred.</p>
<p>Fronted by Pauline Black, who remains the group&#8217;s voice and leader to this day, the band shot to prominence in the UK with the release of three singles in 1979; &#8220;<em>Three Minute Hero&#8221;, &#8220;Missing Words&#8221;,</em> and the hugely popular and successful &#8220;<em>On My Radio&#8221;, </em>and followed this initial success with their debut album <em>Too Much Pressure</em>, released the year after in February 1980. Another album, <em>Celebrate the Bullet, </em>was released the year after but, due to the unfortunate timing of the release of the lead single (of the same name) and John Lennon&#8217;s murder via gunshot, the album sadly failed to see the success of their first, peaking at number 41 on the UK Albums Chart, and ultimately played a part in the subsequent break-up of the band in 1982.</p>
<p>Watch The Selecter perform their hit single &#8220;<em>On My Radio&#8221;</em> on TopPop in 1979 below:</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/074AfC9tw48" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>After a stint as a TV presenter and actress, Black led a reformation and the band reunited in 1991, and have subsequently put out another 13 albums over the past 32 years. The current lineup features Black, of course, along with other founding members Arthur &#8216;Gaps&#8217; Hendrickson (vocals) and Charley &#8216;Aitch&#8217; Bembridge (drums).</p>
<p><em>Human Algebra</em>, Black <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/apr/09/the-selecter-pauline-black-ska-2-tone-human-algebra-interview">states to The Observer in an interview</a>, is packed &#8220;<em>with lyrics covering all the things I was thinking about</em>&#8220;, including police brutality and racism (&#8216;<em>Stay Rebel&#8217;</em>), knife crime in the UK (&#8216;<em>Human Algebra&#8217;</em>) and fake news (&#8216;<em>Big Little Lies&#8217;</em>), and such cultural consciousness will not be unfamiliar with lovers of The Selecter and 2 tone alike, given the genre&#8217;s close connection with cultural and class issues since its&#8217; emergence in the late 1970s.</p>
<p>Watch &#8220;<em>Human Algebra&#8221;</em>, the lead single from the new album, below:</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zyjY_5piGnQ" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><em>Human Algebra </em>is available to pre-order now <a href="https://theselecter.tmstor.es/product/109626">here</a>.</p>
