It seemed only natural to use it in my music.

Certainly surprised me.not ice-t! That showed me that if I have a positive message and something to say for myself, people will listen.There are many challenges I’ve had to face like being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Aberdeen – where I’m from – and Glasgow are only three hours apart by car, but our accents sound very different. A lot has happened in my personal life.

It’s very close to dancehall and soca and the sounds I grew up with in the Caribbean. The younger generation in Scotland are still a bit unsettled about how they should sound, and I hope as the scene here grows that it hits a point where that’s not even a question.There’s a bunch already making moves on the scene that I reckon would do well internationally, but I know they'll still represent the Scottish style. I’m a poet at heart.

Over in north London, duo Artful Dodger and female MCs like Ms Dynamite would keep the pace by bringing UK garage – which fused dance music with heavy bass sounds – to the masses. It comes down to who’s the most hungry?

Everybody has their own crafts when it comes to music, and everybody wants to succeed.

East you have cats like Kano, D Double E, The only music I was interested in when I first moved to the UK from the Caribbean was grime. NEW HOT OLDSCHOOL BEAT PRODUCED BY BEATCOYNZ It’s real, raw rap from my part of London.

North London you get emotional MCs like Abracadabra, Wretch, Chip and Skepta.

I’m a poet at heart.

I’m both of those things. Among them were Stormzy, Skepta, and The Rap Game’s own Krept and Konan.Fast-forward to 2019, the UK rap scene is spreading far and wide with cities like Manchester and Birmingham challenging London for its crown. 5 years ago. They’re doing us all justice by speaking on issues like black and minority culture. Every area in the city has its own vibe and its own specific kinda sound. I got quite good but I stopped. If you asked me where to go to check out hip-hop, you’d have to give me about five years to answer because there isn’t anywhere! https://soundcloud.com/kferg500/sets/14th-apostle I never knew you did an Ice-T thread yesterday.If I hadn’t just seen the Ice Cube thread I might have thought this was real@RatedXakaLilAmp He’s better than you might think. Later, Akala began blazing a trail for politically-motivated rap, with powerful lyrics challenging the status quo. It’s worth it in the long run.In Scunthorpe we’re not trying to be like everyone else. let me know what you think

I met a lot of industry people when I was just starting out. This means no new threads or posts can be created Before appearing on The Rap Game UK, I’d never even held a mic before. I picked it up and I was shocked man!

I used music as an escape, rather than to put myself out there. I didn’t understand why I was being told what to do, what to say and what to wear by them – things like it being implied that my clothes were inappropriate. I think I should get the same opportunities as everyone else, and it wasn’t always like that. There’s places that have tried like Cafe Indie, but not enough people support it so it leaves the promoters scared to try it again. When I found music, the same thing happened. Definitely.

Among those I'm tipping are these guys who rap in strong Scottish accents, called Sherlock and McRoy.

We have old-school hip-hop and soul, and new-school artists – and across all of those we speak in the accent of where we come from, as proud Mancunians. Aitch is definitely making the biggest moves in Manchester right now. Now, I want to help develop the scene up here and start bringing people through. It seemed only natural to use it in my music.

@TurkishPower Damn why are you so mad?

But I came to the realisation that to make it, you need to sound authentic. You have rappers who aren’t scared to bring politics into their music like Stormzy. The younger generation in Scotland are still a bit unsettled about how they should sound, and I hope as the scene here grows that it hits a point where that’s not even a question.There’s a bunch already making moves on the scene that I reckon would do well internationally, but I know they'll still represent the Scottish style.

Outside being good with words, I’ve always played a bunch of instruments from piano to djembe drums – so it made sense for me to put those two worlds together. But I put my mind to picking the right path and, for me, that was music.
My producer and I have been making music together since the beginning, so with him behind me I know my beats will be on-point – and with the people that follow me and support me, I have no reason not to be confident.The pain. Justin's mobile music studio unites people from rival postcodes. But I think it’s also that people weren’t ready to accept a rapper or hear a voice from so far afield. I poured my soul out over everything from heartbreak to school troubles.

It sounds odd, but somewhere inside I just knew I could do it.

I had a choice of two roads to go down. So I thought, why wouldn’t I rap about all these places and put that culture into my music?It’s a powerful way to get my story across. Grime was also blasting out from east London at the start of the millennium from pirate radio stations and basement venues across the capital. But thereComing from north London has made me the rapper I am today.
There’s a lot of variation between cities too. She made her first TV appearance on a show entitled 'Must Be The Music' (Sky1 HD) at 16yrs old and ... then went on to do Xfactor in 2012.
