RAW ROTATIONS is an opportunity for rappers and vocalists to take the mic and freestyle over original beats produced by our community members. Whether you're looking to sharpen your flow or connect with fellow creatives, this is a space built for collaboration and raw talent.

ABOUT THE HOST
Caxxiane is a Jamaican-born, Cayman Islands–raised multidisciplinary artist currently operating between Berlin and London. Since 2018, she has developed a sound that integrates alternative hip-hop with Caribbean and West Coast U.S. influences. Her performance history includes sets at Glastonbury, Splash, Fusion, and Breminale, and her work has earned recognition from BBC Introducing, the Listen to Berlin Jury Prize, and TuneCore.

Beyond her music, Caxxiane is the founder of HAVEN, a platform dedicated to the intersection of music, wellness, and mental health. She also hosts Mind Over Music on Oroko Radio, a program that discusses industry-specific mental health challenges and fosters connections between Africa and its diaspora. Her work consistently focuses on establishing inclusive environments that prioritize care and community for Black and marginalized groups.

TICKETS to Raw Rotations are completely free to reserve! You can do so now as well as submit your beats via the link in bio.

📅 This week marks Mental Health Awareness Week 2026 (11–17 May). At Raw Material, we believe that the most powerful actions for our wellbeing are often the ones we take together.

🎨 The connection between creativity and mental wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s writing a lyric, finding a beat, or sharing a canvas, these aren't just hobbies—they are active routes to self-improvement.

🌱 Our creative-health programmes prove that taking the step to create, share a space, and interact socially can fundamentally shift our experience of mental health. This week, we encourage you to take one small creative action for yourself or someone else.

💗 Here are some of the words that our participants use to describe our programmes: Affirming, Grateful, Rejuvenation, Energising.

🤝 In times of struggle, remember that you don't have to navigate the path alone. Awareness means knowing when to reach out and where to turn.

🔗 We’re sharing below a curated a list of verified support services for those living in and around Lambeth. Every conversation started and every resource shared is a vital step toward making sure we are there for each other when it matters most.
