There has been an effect of business rap on the output of today's rap music. But I don't think that's the modern day rapper's fault.

I already feel that I am making a political statement by sticking around in music, when I am doing it so differently to everyone else.

I feel like a mirror reflecting back everyones perception of me.

I've documented a lot of things myself as a filmmaker. If you want a rockumentary, that's in there.

I dont support terrorism and never have. As a Sri Lankan that fled war and bombings, my music is the voice of the civilian refugee.

In England right now you're not good enough until you get validated.

Now, [hip-hop/grime artists] Stormzy, Skepta, or the Section Boyz have to be validated by Drake, Rihanna or Beyoncé. They're rolled into this one urban culture bubble; it's not really to do with, "I'm specifically f - ked off about my country and what's going on in my town." We're very much only showing success to artists who impress American artists, and I'm one of them.
