The production crew for uk-hip hopper Blade.
Born in the Armenian quarter of Iran, Blade came to London aged 7. Within months of arriving, he felt the effect of the Islamic revolution back home. Unable to send money out of the country, Blade’s family could no longer support him.

The microphone, the studio and the stage provided his only release.
