I'll tell a young kid in a minute, 'If you don't know how to read, then what good is trying to be an MC?' Like, you can MC, but if you're not trying to be a better person, learn and apply that to your MCing, then how far do you think you're really going to go?

Growing up in the mid-to-late '90s in London, you start seeing the explosion of drum'n'bass and then the birth of U.K. garage and grime. I decided to focus a lot of my energies as an aspiring MC. It was a very natural way to express yourself as a kid from a certain kind of neighborhood.

I started playing music when I was really young.

I started taking music lessons and singing when I was about ten.

I started modeling when I was 13 or 14, I think.

I started making music professionally when I was 14.

I try to get the hip-hop aesthetic, most times without an MC. I don't use a rapper or a DJ to give it the hip-hop style; it's strictly the band that makes that music, which is a lot harder to do.

I started making music for myself when I was sixteen.

I started rapping when I was about 12 or 13, just playing around with it.

I love comics. I like to do everything I used to do when I was 14-years-old.
