Depzman warns of dangers of knife crime in posthumous grime track ‘Life Cut Short’

Joshua Ribera, aka Depzman, returns from the dead in an emotional deepfake music video commissioned by The Joshua Ribera Foundation, the charity that combats knife crime in his name.

Depzman was a rising star in the grime scene when he was tragically stabbed to death in 2013. Since then, knife crime has continued to rise inexorably in the UK. The video uses deepfake and audio technology to tell Depzman’s tragic story through a new song called ‘Life Cut Short’, describing his childhood, career and the night that he died.
