This is called “As we always do” and it’s my attempt to do something influenced by the broken beat sound from West London. I’ve been listening to bugz in the attic and 4hero!
Over time being a hip hop artist and poet that is now an author, I have worked in a lot of different areas and there are certain areas that face certain struggles and issues.
I wrote this track called “Safe” thinking about a lot of the young people I talk to in these areas especially heading home, I always hope they are safe. It’s mad because I might meet some of you only once but I do remember you and always hope you are safe and well.
So I was watching “Drumline” which stars Nick Cannon during the lockdown a few weeks back which led me to looking up lots of marching bands on YouTube as well as rap songs that had those kinds of beats influenced by the sounds of College marching bands and since I loved Beyoncé’s coachella performance that had a whole HBCU theme and marching band sound, I knew I had to try and make a beat which sounded like all of what I was hearing. This became “Get The W”
No matter what is going on in this world, keep pressing on and celebrate even the small wins you get!
smart casual (lyric video)
I have people who always ask me to do a traditional boom bap lyrical hip hop kind of track. I think all my songs are lyrical just not with this sound. I made this for people who want me to do that kind of sound. I can still do it! It’s just that I like experimenting and trying to push myself to try different things!

I’m happy to let you know my new single “fighting words” is OUT NOW!
This is something I created during this quarantine, lockdown and is truly how I’ve been feeling
Listen, I’ve been fighting and battling to just keep my peace and have hope for tomorrow like I’m sure many of you reading this have been too.
“Fighting words” out now on all streaming/downloading outlets!!! http://smarturl.it/FightingWords
New single out now! Stream/download “it’s not always that deep” I made this on Monday (produced, recorded, mixed and mastered it at home) even made the lyric video the same day before flying out to Switzerland.
It was inspired by how things can get you riled up and upset (especially online) but when you stop and think, you realise sometimes it’s not that serious!
We know life IS deep and there are serious things to be concerned about but also it’s ok to chill, have a break, breathe, relax, let go and just be cool!
I have done this with music, without music in primary schools, secondary schools, colleges, universities, corporate functions, festivals, prisons, stadiums, clubs, concerts, the streets and in every kind of situation. The aim is to go in and let your stories, your poetry, your bars and your art speak and hopefully connect in some vital way.
I have a limited time to win people who have probably never even heard of me over. I love it that I am not that known for this reason because when it goes well, it shows that it was only the words and the way I delivered them that connected and mattered. I have no real hype or “fame” to get the crowd going. It’s the thrill of the challenge to deliver that keeps things exciting.
Now I do actually do things WITH music that I made myself (I produce all my music) but when I do it without music to “help” the words connect and people respond to what I’m delivering, it’s a feeling unlike any other. This is what I do. Put me anywhere. I will bring it! I even come off the top of the dome and totally improvise because that’s what we emcees do!
I’ve started my year moving around the country doing my thing
Here’s some shots of Worcester!
Happy new year. today represents newness and the hope of a fresh start. The beauty of life is that newness can occur at anytime over and over again not just today.
I hope this year is full of joy, peace, laughter and every good thing as we go through all the challenges that life throws at us because it’s not easy out ‘ere but we move regardless!
I’m just taking one day at a time!
Hello 2022! May it be a great one for us all!
