The London-based rapper Dave has been awarded one of the world’s most prestigious music awards.
Britain’s Mercury Prize is closely watched because it can point the way for success around the world.
Dave told the audience: “I did not expect this.” He called his mother, who is a nurse, onto the stage, and dedicated the award to his brother, Christopher, who is serving a life sentence for murder. The album recycles the role-play therapy that Christopher is receiving in prison. The betting favorite to win was the rapper Slowthai. For his performance at the Hammersmith Odeon, he came onstage with a decapitated mannequin’s head with a mask of the British Prime Minister’s face. He later stripped off his shirt which also namechecked Boris Johnson. Slowthai’s album, called “Nothing Great About Britain,” with guest appearances by Jaykae and Skepta, was said by the judges to be “an urgent and profound debut.
