We’re joined by the incredible Tiffany Calver. Tiffany is one of the most recognisable DJs, broadcasters and personalities in the UK with over 10 years in the game, having gone from music journalism to becoming the host of her very own radio show ‘The Tiffany Calver Show’ on BBC Radio 1Xtra, having made history when she became the first woman to host Radio 1's ‘Rap Show.’ She throws parties and releases records under the No Requests banner and has DJ'd for the likes of Jay-Z, Beyonce and Drake.

Tiffany breaks down her career, from uploading her first mixes on Soundcloud and navigating the industry in the mid 2010s to landing at the BBC, via finding herself as a DJ and a commentator. She names her favourite rappers, has her say about the Drake-Kendrick Lamar beef, reminisces about growing up in Telford and pinpoints the biggest no-nos she’s seen from DJs. Later, we play another game of hip-hop trivia, with CONTROVERSIAL results.
