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

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

There is no better education than rap battling in terms of performance. It makes you fearless.

In terms of a comedy plan I don't really have a list of what I want accomplish. I'm just riding the wave! I think I will always come back to stand-up and comedy in all its forms. I just don't think it will ever be the one sole thing I do.

I'm proud of most of the stuff I've put out and I hope my kids will look at it long after I'm gone and go, "hey, Daddy was cool once!"

I never gave up rapping - it gave up on me. There was no industry and no appetite for UK rap back then and I had a daughter to feed. I couldn't keep doing something full time that didn't pay the bills.

The future's unwritten. It's what we make of it.
