Influences: WHERE DO I START WITH THIS ONE? I HAVE SO MANY INFLUENCES MUSICALLY. SOME OF THEM DATE BACK TO WHAT MY MUM USED TO PLAY WHEN I WAS GROWING UP..PEEPS LIKE AL GREEN, SAM COOKE, OTTIS REDDING, THE STYLISTICS, BROOKE BENTON..I KNOW YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF SOME OF THOSE! MY MORE UP WELL KNOWN INFLUENCES ARE PEEPS LIKE MOS DEF, TALIB KWELI, PETE ROCK & CL SMOOTH, COMMON, THE ROOTS, SIAN SUPA CREW, PHARAOH MONCH, LITTLE BROTHER, SLUM VILLAGE, THERE'S PROBABLY MORE BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER ALL OF EM!!
Sounds Like: THE TYPE OF HIP-HOP THAT WE USED TO HEAR WHEN HIP-HOP CARRIED MORE THAN JUST A MESSAGE OF BLING & GETTING THE MONEY!! TAKING IT BACK TO IT'S ROOTS WHEN LYRICAL EXPRESSION WAS ABOUT SPEAKING THE THING THAT IS ON YOUR HEART AN NOT TRYING TO JUST SAY HOW EVERY OTHER MC IS WACKER THAN YOU!!
