Today Che Lingo’s debut album THE WORST GENERATION is released via Idris Elba’s 7Wallace label. The latest single to be lifted from the tracklist is “South”, which has a fantastic new video to absorb from his local area.
Speaking about the song, Che says “South is an intro into the relationship I had with South London growing up. My family (albeit separated) did everything they could to ‘protect’ me from what someone like me might face as a young black boy in South London, as well as prepare me for what they couldn’t protect me from.”
“I still got into a good few situations I felt powerless in and ressented myself for not doing more or standing up for myself at the time. There’s so much to fight for internally on a mental level and externally in the world right now, the less R.I.P’s and letters we have to write the better.”
