Voluptuous – I’m not talking a big sloth here. Nah, I’m definitely not one of those guys, but I can appreciate a full-figured woman. Is this something you feel strongly about? You posted on Instagram, and I quote, “Man laugh when I rate certain big tings but if u see what I see then u would know!! #potential #gyaldemsupportsystem,” with a couple of heavier girls. No, they’re all in safes at home, anyway, so you can’t just get in. What if someone fucked up your sneakers? All of them. I ain’t got enough of a problem for anyone to say that to me.

Like, I dunno – straws? Whatever you want, but do you get what I’m saying? People got into little rap rivalries and they’d say things like that.

What does that actually mean? How does one suck someone’s mum?

Like people would always say, “suck your mom” – so disrespectful. Back in the day when you was coming up and there was a lot of grime battles and stuff, a lot of people used to say some really wayward things and I’d think "if you ever said that to me I would just punch you in your face", because it was so disrespectful for no reason. I’m always chill because I don’t like to seem like I’ve got a problem if I haven’t got one. I got no need to call out anyone right now. Which UK MCs would you call out on a track? People are saying “oh he killed you,” but it wasn’t really like that. Jay Electronica just got rubbed completely out of that song, I feel bad. No one was talking about them, now they’ve got a lot to say. Obviously it just gets blown up and I just think people saw it as an opportunity to get some exposure. It was sick, but it wasn’t as serious as everybody made it to be. What did you think about Kendrick’s "Control" verse? Yeah, he seems very erratic and whatever, but who knows. I only know Wiley from his Twitter, but based on that it seems like whatever it was, it was probably his fault. There’s been attempts to reach out from certain parties and other parties don’t wanna know. There was a couple of incidents happened, there was an issue that happened in Ayia Napa, but it was also personal things – it’s not for anyone to know other than them two. There’s some disagreements…It’s old news now. Did you used to see Wiley and Dizzee fight a lot? One day I was going to the studio to check Target for some beats and they said, “we need some good MCs, we need to spice it up a bit.” I said, “Yeah, cool, but I’m gonna be doing my solo too.” From then on we just did our thing. Yeah, because we’re from the same area and I knew them anyway. Moving on from trainers…So you joined Roll Deep kinda late – did they easily let you into their fold? Everybody says “You should get the Yeezys,” but when I’m told to do something that’s when I don’t do it. I’m starting to understand your new single now.Īre you going to get the Air Yeezy Red Octobers? Look, I’ve been wearing running shoes lately because I’ve been trying to exercise and shit, and do you know how comfortable they are? But my obsession comes from the need for looking and feeling fresh – especially with socks, don’t underestimate socks. Yeah, maybe when they were brand new, but you’ve worn them into your skin, bro. :( But when my mom bought these for me five years ago she told me they were cool? Like, I really don’t like that you’re wearing these. Don’t underestimate the power of a fresh sock.Īgreed. A fresh trainer and some fresh socks can make your day. I’m just really all about maintenance, so this is natural, get me? I like taking caring of them to the point where I walk funny because I don’t want to crease the fronts of my trainers. Were your creps getting stained frequently before? Was that a persistent problem for you? A repellent for rain and stain that me and my friends developed. Noisey: Where did Crep Protect come from? Then we even got to try out some Crep Protect, and – let me tell you – is effective as fuck at repelling liquids. Once we'd surpassed the huge crep discrepancy between us, we moved on to talk about the effect of media on the female body image and how gentrification has affected East London’s music scene. I can’t stress enough how much J2K likes trainers – apparently he keeps hordes of them in a safe at home – so you can imagine how awk it was when I showed up in my five-year-old running shoes.
