		</div><p>Grandmaster Flash has offered to help 21 Savage “in any way possible” after the embattled rapper was detained by US Immigration And Customs Enforcement (ICE).</p>
<p>The hip hop pioneer asked the British-born star to “call me” following news Savage had been released from detention.</p>
<p>Savage – real name She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph – was freed on a 100,000 US dollar (£78,086) bail in the lead-up to his deportation hearing.</p>
<p>Producer and disc jockey Flash told the Press Association he was a fan of Savage’s music and that he wanted to help him.</p>

<p>He said: “Man, he needs to fix that. So what’s going to happen? I haven’t heard the latest.”</p>
<p>Flash then directly addressed Savage, saying: “Yo 21, you need to come call me, man. Let me help you out.</p>
<p>“I like his style, I like what he does. I’d help him in any way possible. He’s a good guy.”</p>
<p>The 61-year-old was speaking after being named laureate of the prestigious Polar Music Prize alongside violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter.</p>
<p>Each year the prize honours two laureates, one from the contemporary world and one from the classical, for significant achievements in music.</p>
<p>The award is made in the presence of the Swedish royal family and each laureate receives one million Swedish kronor (£86,000) in prize money.</p>
<p>Flash emerged from the US hip hop scene of the 1970s and is widely regarded as one of the first artists to mix, cut and scratch records.</p>

<p>The veteran performer also hailed grime, describing the genre as a “cousin” of hip hop.</p>
<p>He singled out south London rapper Giggs who he said the “world needs to see”.</p>
<p>He expressed sadness at the fact Giggs had not been able to travel to the US to perform after being convicted for firearm possession in 2003.</p>
<p>He said: “The grime scene, there is this artist by the name of Giggs, I think he’s incredible.</p>
<p>“It’s just sad that someone as talented and as incredible as he is, he’s in a little bit of trouble and he can’t move around the way he wants to but the world needs to see him.</p>
<p>“That’s the way that I see it. I think he’s amazing, an amazing rapper.</p>
<p>“I see grime as a cousin of hip hop, so of course it’s going to take off. It’s just some things take a matter of time.</p>
<p>“For us it took decades and decades for the world at large to say: ‘This means something’.”</p>
<p>Now in its 28th year, previous winners of the Polar Music Prize include Metallica, Sting, Patti Smith, Paul Simon, Chuck Berry and Bjork.</p>
<p>The Polar Music Prize laureates are decided by an independent 11-member committee and the recipients will be honoured at a ceremony in Stockholm on June 11.</p>
