Noisey and Chuckie kick of season two of series 'Gangsta Rap International' with special guest Naira Marley.
Easily one of the pioneers of the UK's booming Afroswing movement, Naira Marley appeared onto the scene with 'Marry Juana' back in 2015 and has been making hits ever since.
The series follows his journey growing up in Peckham to building a global, and at times controversial, fanbase known as Marlians back home in Nigeria. Chuckie accompanies him to several performances in Lagos and the two discuss his encouters with the Nigerian police - most notably after he released his song 'Am I A Yahoo Boy.'
