Rapper JessB talks politics in music, how persistence pays off when starting out, and her reinvention post-professional netball.

JessB is in for a yarn on how one transforms from professional netballer to becoming a central figure in Aotearoa's hip-hop scene. We talk about how hard it is in the music industry to measure "success", but why SHE no longer measures it by streaming numbers. Off the back of a very loud week in the music industry globally - with the fallout over Macklemore being dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour because of his support for the people of Palestine - we talk about why politics and music are intrinsically linked. And we debrief about the abrupt end of her professional netball career. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
