Grenfell Tower: Big Zuu and Toddla T release new charity track to give voice to community

Rapper Big Zuu and producer Toddla T have released a new song in support of Grenfell campaigners.

The track was released on Spotify on Monday and is titled No Justice 4 Grenfell, No Peace.

It aims to amplify the community’s voice after six and a half years of governmental inaction.

Big Zuu’s poignant lyrics encapsulate the frustration and desperation felt by a community still awaiting justice.

Campaigners gathered near the Wall of Truth at the Grenfell Tower on Sunday to launch the new track.

Damel Carayol, who lost two family members, Khadijah Saye and Mary Mendy, in the fire said: “We are still waiting for justice; We are watching you and now you can HEAR us.”

It was announced by the Grenfell Inquiry in November that its final report will not be published before April next year.

Justice 4 Grenfell group organiser Yvette Williams said, “6.5 years on, with countless peaceful protests and a shamefully delayed public Inquiry report, it is clear that being quiet doesn’t work. 

“So maybe if we are loud, the government will hear us. Maybe if we are loud they will listen and serve justice to the 72+ who died needlessly in our community that night on June 14 2017.”

The  Grenfell Tower fire - which was one of the most deadly since the Second World War - was started by a refrigerator on June 14 2017, and quickly engulfed the 24-storey building due to highly flammable cladding.

It burned for more than 24 hours until 250 firefighters put it out, with the fire killing 72 people.

All proceeds from the song will be going to victim and survivor support group Justice4Grenfell and Grenfell memorial garden the Hope Garden.

Some of Big Zuu's lyrics include: “It feels like we’ve been waiting for time but we will never forget and we’re here to remind.

“Families who went through sacrifice need a vice to make sure what they need is prioritised in their mind.

“Show them that we’ve never been afraid for a change from the west to the east.

“It don’t matter where you’re from we’re all the same.

“Take it to the streets, there’s power when we walk.

“No justice for Grenfell, no peace.”

No Justice 4 Grenfell, No Peace is available on Spotify.
