As Metro notes, the #Grime4Corbyn campaign was relaunched alongside news of Labour's £1 billion investment plan for the arts.

Friday's event will be available to view via a livestream on the #Grime4Corbyn site, and is set to host a series of live radio sets with the likes of Durrty Goodz, Manga Saint Hilare, Lioness, and more to be announced.

The live session taking place on Friday is a collaboration with Grime Originals. Founder Sharky Major said of his support for Labour, "My parents and grandparents have always been in favour of Labour and I’m no different. We are regular hard working people who want the best for people like us."

Corbyn has received recent support from the likes of Wiley, Nadia Rose, and Lethal Bizzle - who previously tweeted Corbyn telling him to "sit on the bench" and let someone else lead the Labour party.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that grime rappers linked to Grime4Corbyn had reportedly stepped back from the new Labour campaign.
