Crazy Titch Sentenced

The surprise news that Crazy Titch was sentenced to a minimum 30 years in HMP for murder (Durrty Doogz was freed) sent shockwaves through the grime scene - a music still battling to overcome preconceptions of violence. What is even more shocking are the tragic, callous circumstances surrounding Richard Holmes' death.

Titch has always been as talented as much as he is brash, loose-tongued as much as a loose-cannon. However the needless loss of life runs deeper than a waste of talent, and this case ought to serve as a reminder to those who choose to blur the line between music and reality - whether as artists or listeners.

I could write a small book about this... but having read Chantelle Fiddy's authoritative, refreshing and honest piece (including the chilling Met Police report) I feel the best I can do is guide you there... follow this link.
N.B. Ms Fiddy's idea for Trident's next campaign. Amen.
