Eva Lazarus in session

We take you to BBC Maida Vale to hear live tracks from Stafford’s Eva Lazarus.

Every week, we send send a tonne of artists from Staffordshire & Cheshire who've uploaded their tracks to us here at BBC Radio Stoke, to the For The Love of Hip Hop programme with Romesh on BBC Radio 2.

Raised in a home where jazz, hip hop, garage and soul played on rotation - Eva credits her mum and the Windrush generation for the rhythms that shaped her. From reggae to DnB, she pours it all into her sound.

She says she navigates new motherhood and sleepless nights with a baby on one arm while holding the mic in the other.
