As part of Zawe Ashton's Three Wise Women curation of 6 Music, she selects a show presented by Young Fathers - who sat in for Iggy Pop ahead of their performance at this year's Biggest Weekend Festival.

Taking you on a journey from the lyrical consciousness of The Black Poets, through the world of hip hop and right over to the cinematic sounds of Ennio Morricone, the Young Fathers sat in for Iggy Pop in March of 2018 with a two hour mixtape ahead of their performance at The Biggest Weekend. Expect music form Tweet, A Tribe Called Quest and Pixies.

Formed in Edinburgh in 2008 by Alloysious Massaquoi, Kayus Bankole and Graham 'G' Hastings. They signed to Big Dada Records and released their debut album, Dead, in 2014. The album gained a lot of critical attention and went on to win the prestigious Mercury Prize.

Their second album, White Men Are Black Men Too, followed in April 2015 and this year saw the Ninja Tune released third album Cocoa Sugar.
