and what direction I'm going in. It's still nice to go in with someone who has only heard me as of recent but the problem I find with that is that they're more geared into making singles. I'm more about finding a balance. You've been sitting on new tracks for some time, aren't you itching to get them out there? Beyond itching. I'm the type of person that just throws things up on my YouTube channel as well so at any given moment there might just be some surprises. Is that why you decided to put your mixtape out first? To get some of it out of your system? Yeah, cos there's so much on my laptop. There's like one million records that I'm looking at and I want them out there rather than on my laptop. There are some songs that I know if I don't throw them out now, then next year I'm not gonna use them. It doesn't make sense to sit on them. Is it exciting to be able to do that -- just put your music out whenever you want and through such a powerful medium as Youtube? Yeah, it's nice. It's also nice to see the label's face when you do that! They're not a fan of that. Which MCs inspired you when you were hustling on the underground scene? Definitely artists like J2K when he was making a lot of mix-tapes. Twist from So Solid. Kano. Are these people now contemporaries? Of course;
