Episode 24 - Niino

This week, we have the Godfather of Rochdale Rap on After The Applause, Niino. Niino is a staple within the rap music community of Rochdale, helping build a platform for the next generation and being a voice for the people.

There is a purpose behind all his music and performances, fusing his Rochdale and Angolan culture to create music that really speaks volumes. He is a pillar within his community, and an artist that should be given more praise.

In this episode, Saoirse Marie catches up with Niino to discuss the reason behind his motto, “you know the voice”, the preparation involved before a performance, and his reasons for being a voice for the people.

There is a lot of wisdom from Niino in this episode that isn’t to be missed, and we are grateful he shared all of this with us…

All this and more to catch on, After The Applause!! 👏👏
