Tanisha says being able to honour her brother’s legacy “means everything”. <\/p>\n
“Obviously he’s not physically here with us,” she says.<\/p>\n
“But to be able to carry on his name and carry on the work he did and be able to push his message of self-belief.<\/p>\n
“And finding the next generation of talent, working with all these artists that he’s previously worked with… I just feel really grateful, honoured and blessed that we’re able to continue his name and legacy in such a way.” <\/p>\n
Rappers Nolay and Griminal are among those who see Jamal as a “catalyst” for their careers and say they’re excited to celebrate his impact at the upcoming show. <\/p>\n
Griminal recalls how the DJ had a “positive energy and spirit” and an eye for spotting “raw talent”. <\/p>\n
Nolay tells Newsbeat Jamal not only championed her work, but opened her eyes to the power of promoting your music online and creating a brand for yourself.<\/p>\n
Boosting yourself on social media to break into the music industry has become a given in 2026 – something Nolay says has made things feel less “real”. <\/p>\n
“We’re in a day and time where the connection’s kind of being lost because of evolution and technology,” Nolay says.<\/p>\n
“But what happens is authenticity becomes lost along the way by doing that.<\/p>\n
“And to have something like SBTV there and revert back to what Jamal was doing in the first place, it’s gonna [be] such a large platform for artists that feel disheartened.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tanisha says being able to honour her brother’s legacy “means everything”. “Obviously he’s not physically here with us,”…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":822095,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-822094","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/822094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=822094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/822094\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/822095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=822094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=822094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=822094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
