From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.British grime legend Ghetts is the 10th and final artist to appear in our fourth season of Music Box.
The London MC, born Justin Clarke, spoke with The Independent back in September about his incredible new album Ghetto Gospel: The New Testament, where he spoke about how making music is "therapeutic" for him and also revealed that becoming a father has massively changed his outlook on life.
He also shut down media claims that grime is either dead or struggling to survive with the rising popularity of other genres like drill.
"I love grime with my heart," he said. "I respect grime enough to represent it because that's what made me, that gave me my first listeners, and I will never deny being grime. Grime itself will never die."
For his Music Box session Ghetts performed two original tracks from The New Testament: "Spiritual Warfare" and "Purple Sky". Check it out (above).
Thanks so much to the artists and their teams for taking part in Music Box this season, and to everyone who watched the sessions! We'll be back next year for season 5 in March, until then you can watch all sessions from previous seasons here.
