"It's a bit cheeky as a rapper to make a singing album." — AJ Tracey

At school, when everyone would sell sweets and chocolate, I'd always take it that step further. I'd hustle as hard as I could to get the new Air Forces, to go and chill with the posh kids and the white girls who were around my area.

You can't dwell on disappointment. You've got to take the positives and keep looking ahead.

I'm not afraid to use my platform. I don't want to preach to people; I just want to put my opinions across about things I feel strongly about.

People ask me, how was university; I say it was boring and it wasn't for me. But if you wanna go, that's cool. I'm not out to lead people astray, but everyone has their vices.

I used to send out emails to producers to collaborate and they'd give me nothing, not even a response. As soon as I started popping off, out they came!

Yes, I'm having World Cup withdrawals; but no, this is sneaky of me to say, but I actually care about Tottenham more than I care about the England team.

I'm the least animated person I know. Even on stage, I just walk across it.

My dad used to be a rapper, he had a rap group. They did proper old school, boom-bap music. He had a high top and everything.
