I must say I am feeling the ‘Road Work’ mixtape man. What’s the general response been like to this release?
Thanks Bruva, Response has been real good from all over, i've got heads on road boosting it so thats all good, i'm happy right now.

You have dropped two mixtapes since you started rapping. Can we expect a third or will your next release be an album?
I'm working on my Album right now fam, should start seeing/hearing singles rotating on radio real soon. I might keep banging out mixtapes inbetween albums still, bottom line they'l always be tings coming from me, i'm hungry right now.

Tell us more about who will be on the next release and what producers you are going to be working with?
I've got Malik from MD7 on board for a track called Nuttin Like Me, i've been speaking with Lady Paradox and Reveal about a certain track and you'll see Example on the Album aswell and obviously my TGSMP fam. Currently i'm working with Boy Wondah who produced a few tracks on Versettis Album and is working closely with the Kray Twins, Charlie Parker and i've just linked wid a bad boy producer called Jabba Da Kuts who's been feeding me some fire beats!!!

Do you have a manager or CEO, or are doing this fully independent?
Right now its fully 100% independant, just me and tgsmp and right now thats the best look for me, cause i touch on subjects that certain labels couldn't stomach right now!

What’s the connection with TGSMP?
My boy Paradise kinda rested the whole 57th Dynasty ting and started TGSMP. He gave me a beat in the early stages to drop a verse for and i've been banging out verses ever since. Then from there, i dropped my own MixCD 'Welcome 2 Induction' and dise has been backing me ever since. Pure tings in the pipeline for TGSMP its big at the moment

How hard is it trying to bust and coming from London where like 75% of UK Rappers come from?
Its very hard bruv, its too hard, it damn near makes you want to quit the music game in general cause the grind is not easy fam, cause like i've said before, everybody seems to be an MC so the industry is saturated by untalented noise. But i guess that's a positive aswell cause its easier to shine when the people around you are waste!

So who are you feeling in the UK at the moment? Is there anyone you ain’t feeling?!
There's people i aint feeling but i'm not about to burn any bridges! I'm feeling MD7, Ndouble A, Unorthodox, Wordsmith, Lady Paradox, Poisonus Poets, Terra Firma, Skinny, Task Force, TGSMP.

Apart from your own releases, have you featured on any other mixtapes or albums?
I've featured on the Gov'nors mixCD put out last year, LFams, i did a verse for a new US artist called Mishal Moore, i'll be on the next uk runnings by my man Tricksta and Jabba Da Kuts new mixCD.

What artists in the US do you like?
there's a few but my main boy who can not be touched right now is SAIGON!!!!

Have you any plans to do a single from the album with a video?
There's a track on the Album called Charlies Angels which i'm thinking of doing a video for and a track called 'Just come'. Too early to dish out release dates but keep your eyes open.
