For the past couple of years, I've been tracking the rise of the notorious property influencer, Samuel Leeds It's a story about smoke and mirrors, TikTok grifting and hard sells. Most of all, it's about our toxic obsession with housing. economist.com/1843/2024/02/0…
Rap music, more than any other creative form, is used as evidence of crimes. We explain how it is used against artists, like Young Thug, in court econ.st/4aI0Vxt 👇
A decade on, the legacy of the Belt and Road Initiative in South-East Asia looks to be deep and enduring—despite what many China hawks maintain econ.st/3vzydyY 👇
Hip-hop’s origins trace back to a block party in the Bronx 50 years ago. Its sound has evolved since; on “The Intelligence” we examine how it is diversifying and going global, featuring everyone from @SexyyRed314_ to @burnaboy econ.st/3QZctFf
Easily the coolest episode of The Intelligence ever. After the first story we have an incredible two-part special on the evolution of Hip Hop! (from 9:22) We spoke to everyone from @SexyyRed314_ to @iamSMADE and sprinkled some Bad Bunny and Burna in too open.spotify.com/episode/2sJDxx…
Rappers’ lyrics are being used against them in court—raising issues of prejudice and free expression, @_joshjs tells “The Intelligence” econ.st/3T2lL2f
Does art have a place in court? I wrote about Young Thug’s trial, the use of lyrics as evidence and the “experts” who parse songs for juries, for @TheEconomist this week economist.com/culture/2023/0…
Drugs and crime are staple themes of trap music: “If rapping about a sunny day in the neighbourhood made the most money, many young African-Americans would,” says Mac Phipps, who spent 21 years in jail for manslaughter after a trial featuring lyrics econ.st/3xMfaPI
For the latest issue of @TheEconomist’s culture newsletter, I wrote about the debate raging around rap music, based on an excellent piece by @_joshjs. Should rap lyrics be used as evidence in court? view.e.economist.com/?qs=f604c2f116…
👀Some exciting news: I'm writing a book! Looking forward to sharing some incredible stories from across the US, and thrilled to be working with the talented @_abbymuller and @AtterBooks. It's called "What Happened to Us." Watch this space.
Devastating, beautiful, righteously furious and heart-shattering piece by @meropemills about her daughter Martha, who was so grievously failed by the doctors who were supposed to look after her theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
For this week’s @TheEconomist I wrote about why Britain will continue to rely on Dover—and why delays there may get worse economist.com/britain/2022/0…
Why things at Dover may get worse next year, our take: economist.com/britain/2022/0…
Tmrw @TheEconomist is publishing its first summer double issue with longform content from 1843. Stories include how magicians won the attention economy, an astounding MBS profile, & the strange case of a murder victim who didn’t die. Crazy value for money! economist.com/weeklyedition/…
For this week’s @TheEconomist I wrote about people smuggling gangs—and why the Rwanda policy is unlikely to stop them economist.com/britain/2022/0…
Lorry driving can mean days, weeks on the road. It's a dangerous job. It can cost you your life. It can cost you your relationships. So what makes someone do it for 26 years? I spent some time on the road for @1843mag to find out economist.com/1843/2021/09/2…
