The power of Greek Rap | The new discussion of the Society Uncensored series at the Onassis Channel on YouTube

The fourth season of the Society Uncensored series wraps up with a discussion about a massive cultural phenomenon of our time: rap music and its power today. Αn art form that succeeded both commercially and artistically, despite starting out as the ultimate outsider. But is rap a unified culture, or does it branch into distinct sub-scenes? What role have social media and music technology played in this explosion of popularity over recent years? What is the place of women in the Greek (and global) rap scene? Is it still male-dominated—and if so, why? How closely is Greek rap connected to its ‘mother scene’ in the U.S.? What defines this culture—and its lifestyle—and why does it often spark ethical debates?

The rappers Saske, Ladele, Katohos, and Mira—all with a significant discography and devoted followers—engage in a dialogue on all the above in the new discussion of the Society Uncensored series, shedding light on the present and the future of the Greek rap scene. They are joined by M.Hulot (aka Tasos Brekoulakis), editorial director of the print edition of LiFO, Christos Melidis (More), founder of Cool Geeks, and Andreas Metaxas, Senior Marketing Manager at Stay Independent and co-founder of Legal Pizza. Spilios Floros, a stand-up comedian with a strong presence on YouTube and Spotify, moderates the discussion.

In this new live edition of “Society Uncensored,” rappers, music producers, journalists, and fans of rap music will try to give answers and provoke new questions regarding Greek rap, its history, its various sub-scenes, the reasons it has grown so significantly in recent years, and what lies ahead.
