How have you evolved as an artist since your first album, Revolutionary Vol 1 ? I'm offended when I see people perverting Christianity, Islam or Judaism for their own political purposes so they can justify taking land or killing people in the name of something. I'm offended by seeing the graves of civilians that are there because they are the "collateral damage" of a drone strike in Afghanistan or Pakistan.

You know what I'm offended by? I'm offended by seeing a child in Gaza who has had his skin burned off by white phosphorus. I'm not offended by fuck, shit, pussy, dick, motherfucker. If you're troubled by the words I speak, then you should probably hang yourself because the world is going to tear you apart or is too real for you to accept. I've heard people criticise me for the most ridiculous things, calling my music abrasive. If someone shot your mother you'd be angry, right? But would you be wrong for being angry? No. Where does the anger in your music come from? Entertainment can be used for many things: to inspire and educate but also to pacify, to keep people stupid and preoccupied with things that aren't important. They believe hip-hop is sheer entertainment. They want us to just dance and sing and smile and pretend that the world is OK. They don't want people to hear about Palestine, slavery or torture. It's more people who see the music I make as a threat to the status quo of hip-hop. There are forces within the industry who like very much what I do. Who is resisting and why are they doing it? They've found it too hard to wipe us out we're not going anywhere. We've found a home-base to fight from in the jungle. We are fighting a real guerrilla war in America in terms of getting independent music out, getting out music with a message. Without that diversity you're going to end up like we did in the States, and I hope that never happens. I think the UK has a rich culture of immigrants who are coming from Africa and Asia and share experiences that are so unique, it's only right that they document it and recount their struggles too. People such as Lowkey and Akala rap about real life. So I always think the voice of reason is great to have. It's a very positive thing to have multiple dimensions to any hip-hop scene.
What do you make of Lowkey and the political/conscious hip-hop scene in the UK? I like to have multiple dimensions in my music. People ask me: 'Why do you rap about politics?' I've always tried to reflect real life in my music and go beyond the experience of the inner-city ghetto of America. There are a lot of historical and political references. But if you want a real answer to that question, I'd say that the music I make is very personal, passionate and tells a story of sacrifice.

If it speaks to you, then feel free to support me.
A better response is: go on the internet and steal all my music and listen to it.
