Even with me going to prison, it could have put a bad stigma on my name. But you keep going. When people see you in a low situation, when people see you fight, they respect you for it.
I put my mum through a lot of stress; police would be coming to the house... It just seemed normal to me, to be up to no good; it's what everyone did. But then you start to see friends dying and going to prison and suddenly it's not fun anymore.
I was feeling 'Lean & Bop' in the moment. It's brought me the most money. And when I'm doing shows, it goes off.
My absolute earliest influences would be people like Michael Jackson, R. Kelly, Outkast, 'Get Rich Or Die Tryin' era 50 cent.

I feel like I'm bipolar. I have my different moods and that. That's why my music exists in so many different worlds - this moment I'm feeling all raw, this moment I'm wanting to talk to a girl, the next moment I'm wanting to talk about spirit and be deep. Then I'm back to being angry.

People always say I'm shy! But I'm not even shy! Like, if you knew what I'm saying in my brain. I'm in my own mind a lot. Even though I'm quiet I'm thinking about a lot of things.
