Topple Talks intro...*taps mic, clears throat
Chicken coup 4.0 is underway people. We knew they’d have one last go before a general election. Last chance to keep the left out of govt. We’ve been here before.
Some people are going to crumble like month-old cheese. Rise above it. Eyes on the prize.

Labour MPs attacking The Canary – an independently regulated, trust-stamped news org – on behalf of a racist MSM & people who back a racist regime in Israel. While calling us & our readers the racists.
You couldn’t make it up.
Good job we work for the people, not them. Onward.

The major benefit of burning bridges with the MSM. You can be true to your principles at all times and never risk losing a gig for it. Haven’t regretted it for a day

Welcome to series two of #ToppleUncaged!
Every week, The Canary will be bringing you a new podcast on the media landscape; hosted by me, Steve Topple.
In a special episode, I caught up with UK rapper Anon the Artist. Originally from Sidcup but raised in Croydon, Anon uses his music to tackle political and social issues head-on. Having been rapping and writing lyrics from a young age, he’s recently come into his own with his latest two, stunning tracks: Medicated and Medicated (Part Two), which deal with mental health from a very real and raw angle.
So, I caught up with him for the #ToppleUncaged podcast. We chatted about his musical background, battling mental health, the state of UK grime and drill music and more.
Enjoy!

CanaryPod: Topple Uncaged meets…Treesha and Bay-C

Welcome to series two of #ToppleUncaged!
Every week, The Canary will be bringing you a new podcast on the media landscape; hosted by me, Steve Topple.
Mr Topple x Treesha x Bay-CIn a special episode, I caught up with two artists who, while using the same instrumental as a musical base, have produced very different tracks. Singing sensation Treesha and dancehall legend Bay-C have both released tracks over Culture Rock Record’s Change Like Weather riddim. As electronicbeats.net describes, a riddim is:
A rhythm – or ‘riddim’ – is an instrumental track created by a producer or label that’s given to vocalists to create their own versions. In the early days of dancehall, each version was released as a separate single, but since the early 2000s a batch of versions will usually be released as a digital album. The beauty of this format is that it allows for a method of genre development based on iteration; the pressure is not only to innovate, but to improve. You can have multiple great songs with the same rhythm, ensuring that no vocal idea remains undeveloped.
The Change Like Weather riddim is one of the more impressive productions of the year. Featuring elements of dancehall, it is bang on trend with its distinct afrobeat sound. Both Treesha and Bay-C have used the riddim to create songs which make political and social points. Treesha’s almost anti-capitalist anthem Money Don’t Mean A Thing describes the fallacies of thinking that cash makes you whole. Meanwhile, Bay-C’s Inna Mi Brain is a booming tribute to cannabis, with nods to the political controversy that exists around it.
So, I caught up with both of them for the #ToppleUncaged podcast. We chatted about their tracks, whether riddims still hold relevance, how the reggae and dancehall scenes are looking this year and more.
Enjoy!
