"I've seen austerity shatter the promise of an entire generation"

90BRO is one of those multi-talented creatives; he's a DJ, rapper, producer and film-maker based in Sunderland and he's DJing at Music for the Many #ToriesOut on the 25 August in Newcastle.  But what is his music like and what does he think about Theresa May and her government?

Mark Tyers: Who is 90 Bro and how would you describe your music? 
  
90BRO: I am a rap artist from the north of England. I'd describe my music as reflective of my generation and brutally honest, telling truth to power. 

MT: Why are you opposed to the Tory government? 

90BRO: I've seen austerity shatter the promise of an entire generation. I watched as David Cameron and George Osborne used the crisis as an excuse to pursue a strongly conservative mandate, ruthless cuts and widening the disconnect between Westminster and the public, in the north east especially. Many people my age are disillusioned. 

MT: What role do you think music and gigs like Music for the Many can play in ending austerity and bringing down Theresa May's government? 

90BRO: Empowerment. We can't lose faith in each other in a time when we need to be strong. We need to keep in mind that we have the capacity to change things.
