My shows will always be inspired by hip hop culture and my upbringing within it.

I try not to be influenced when it comes to being creative, just in order to sustain my own voice and character. However, I do have many inspirations from the worlds of literature, music, comedy and film.

No wonder this circuit failed. It says 'Made in Japan'.

While I was rapping I was always involved in youth work - I ran music workshops for teenagers and young offenders all the time and also ran a charity for refugee kids for a time.

Standup is tough; if you are going through a hard period in your life, it is very hard to get up in front of people and be the happy guy in the room.

With this kind of camera-phone madness we have got, moments are diluted into self-contained edited experiences.

I respect anyone who's honest to themselves and able to bring that into their work in an entertaining fashion.
