DOS & DON'TS

Grad school types and religious assholes want to convince us that assimilation is mean and racist and makes immigrants betray their cultural roots, but what if they're just really psyched to live somewhere that isn't an abject shithole? Comments/Enlarge | See all

When did you start MCing? 

When I was 14, in year 9. Everyone on the estate had a lyric so I thought, you know what, I might as well have one as well. I went to the youth clubs and started practicing and that, and from there to here.  

When you started MCing at 14, who did you want to be like?

I was listening to Meridian—like Skepta, JME, Big H, Bossman were all doing their thing, as well as Roll Deep. I was first in a team called Shoddy Crew and we had a set on Heat FM and we was after Roll Deep. So when Roll Deep was leaving they’d to say, “Keep it locked for Shoddy Crew,” so we had mad listeners, we had a mad fanbase. Some of us were garbage. Like, I was garbage at the start, I can’t even lie.
