Big Weekend: Sliime and Chowerman ready to 'rep' South Asians in Dundee
By Alyshea ChandBBC Asian Network
A lot has changed about The Music scene since Radio 1 Big Weekend last hit Dundee in 2006.
Just ask Sliime and Chowerman, two emerging stars on this year's line-up.
The Festival returns to Camperdown Country Park this weekend, three years after The Event was cancelled in The City because of Covid.
And the rappers are ready to " represent" the recent rise of South Asian musicians, DIY production and TikTok-driven viral hits.
" I Want It to be a thing where it's cool to be South Asian, " Sliime tells BBC Asian Network.
The Sheffield-based artist recently blew up with his song Lehenga, which he says was made to make South Asian women feel empowered about themselves and The Way they dress.
" South Asian girls definitely deserve it. They need way more representation, " he says.
" I'm glad I was able to do that with that song. "

The Bbc is not responsible for the content of external sites.But his success has come as a surprise.
" Seeing the numbers it's done, seeing how many people are interacting. It's surreal. "
And after it led to an invite to perform at Big Weekend, Sliime " couldn't believe it".
" Crazy. I can actually represent South Asians on a stage like this, where some big, big names are going to be - it's just mind-blowing. I'm still trying to process it. "
From a bedroom wardrobe to Big WeekendAnd Sliime isn't alone.
Chowerman, a rapper from London, is also set to perform on The Bbc Introducing stage, Two Days after dropping his debut album.
" I'm gassed, " he says.
Speaking to BBC Asian Network about his recent track Brown Boys , Chowerman says " there's just not a lot of South Asian rappers in the grime scene".
" I'm trying to rep it, for sure. "
Chowerman is also representing the growing number of artists able to make an impact without expensive studios and big-budget production.
" All the songs you're going to hear at Big Weekend are recorded in my bedroom wardrobe, " he says.
And despite being a long way from that bedroom this weekend, he's expecting a lot of support in Dundee.
Who's playing Big Weekend?Big Weekend is happening 26-28 May at Camperdown Park in Dundee, Scotland.
Dance acts like Jamie Xx , Eliza Rose and LFSYSTEM take to The Stage on Friday.
Saturday will be headlined by The 1975 , with performances from artists like Jonas Brothers and Flo.
And on Sunday, Lewis Capaldi and Wet Leg lead The Bill , with acts like Arlo Parks , Niall Horan and Becky Hill also performing.
" I asked about 20 of my mates, expecting about five of them to Say Yes - it's a long trip, " he admits.
" They all said Yes , so my mates are going to be Front Row , screaming on".
But Chowerman is far from phased.
" I'm ready for it. I feel like The Time is right. "
Big Weekend performances will be available on Bbc Iplayer and BBC Sounds.
