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

I think everybody wants to be the best at what they do and for me I was never really there, plus it was in a time that just preceded the insanity of internet promotion around 2005 and 2006. Obviously through the digital revolution things have moved very quickly and a lot of artists got left behind.

There is only one thing that could make me near homicidal. Yeah - this is called My Proper Tea.

You really come to life on stage but outside - this is a bit of a sad clown cliché - there is that element of loneliness you get from travelling and being on the road. Stand-ups can bring a lot of that to a dramatic role and make it work for them.

I try not to make social consciousness a massive part of my music or comedy because I prefer to be an entertainer first and foremost, then do actual grassroots work when I can.

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

I got into music via the competitions; the first time I ever performed was in a kind of rap battle, competing for money.
