Musician

I'm an entertainer.

When I go Miami, I go deep-sea fishing. I love doing that.

Barack Obama embraced hip-hop, man. That's the way he got through to kids.

I take risks.

I grew up on the pirate radio scene which started out as drum 'n' bass music. U.K. garage picked up and got bigger on the back end of that.

Yeah, I love festivals, man.

You can never have enough winter jackets.

No U.K. rapper has been in my position; there are loads of big rappers like Tinie Tempah or Skepta, but no one has done what I have: had mainstream success with underground music and pop music.

Every summer in my old area, Bow, these kids from across the road used to bring out quad bikes in the park. They let me have a go, and I don't know what was wrong with me, but I drove straight into a gate and fractured my big toe. I had this mad limp for ages.

Rappers and MCs have always had an alias. Building your character, it helps you to get things out.

I just go to the gym once every few weeks and go training once or twice a week. But it's all pretty random.

When I was growing up, it was 'All Eyes On Me' by Tupac and 'Doggy Style' by Snoop Dogg. I've met Snoop and he's the best. They say you shouldn't meet your idol - that definitely doesn't apply to him.

For a bit I was going mad trying to do martial arts twice a week and go to the gym and do weights, but that can make you ill if you balance it with flying around and living like I do, so I narrowed it down.

I quite like thai boxing. But then I'm not surprised because I did taekwondo and karate and judo and all of that when I was a kid, and then just stopped when I got a bit older.

I got an A for music and it was at school that I learned to build a beat.

I don't like to be picked on. Growing up where I did you learn to fight.

I'm going to be big like Michael Jackson.

I come from the underground, from the ground.

I'd done plenty of dark stuff and edgy stuff and hardcore stuff, and I kind of found that stuff easy.

That's what the world's about - different perspectives.
