UK rap critic Joseph 'JP' Patterson speaks to the "first artist with a Criminal Behaviour Order affecting the type of music he can put out" in a new interview, ahead of BBC Three's documentary Defending Digga D.

The rapper explains what it's like to make music under police monitoring - and says there's a "human" side to the figure he's often portrayed as.

Twenty-year-old rapper Digga D – real name Rhys Herbert – is one of UK drill's most valued players, known for adding fun and frolics to this overtly dark and menacing sound and scene.

In 2018, just as his music career was starting to take off, it was Digga D who became personally involved in this sometimes harsh world, after he and other members of 1011 were convicted of conspiracy to commit violent disorder.

Digga was sentenced to a year behind bars.

Since then, Digga D has been back to prison three times, including for breaching the stringent conditions of his Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO).

As part of his release conditions, he was banned from going back home to London and, after being released from prison, was made to stay in an approved premises hostel in Norwich.

He was fitted with a GPS tracker on his leg and was made to check in with probation every three hours - at 11am, 2pm, 5pm, 8pm and 11pm every day.

But what made Digga's situation stand out was one particular condition of his CBO: he has to notify the police when he uploads any new audio or visual material - including where it is uploaded and song lyrics - within 24 hours of upload.

He's believed to be the first artist to be given a CBO that affects his ability to put out music, which - according to his lawyer - gives the police and probation the ability to control and censor his art.

Sounds as if he would have had more freedom if he stayed in jail.

Under Article 10 of the Human Rights Act 1998, “everyone has the right to freedom of expression” in the UK. But the law states that this freedom “may be subject to formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society”.

You can eliminate FREEDOM Of SPEECH with HATE SPEECH LAWS.

What is the law on hate speech?

A number of different UK laws outlaw hate speech. Among them is Section 4 of the Public Order Act 1986 (POA), which makes it an offence for a person to use “threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour that causes, or is likely to cause, another person harassment, alarm or distress”. This law has been revised over the years to include language that is deemed to incite “racial and religious hatred”, as well as “hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation” and language that “encourages terrorism”.

The Terrorism Act 2006 criminalises “encouragement of terrorism” which includes making statements that glorify terrorist acts.
