Why do I wear a mask?
I wear a mask because, number one, this is my brand.
This is what people know me as.
Number two; I like privacy, I've always been a private guy.
I make music for the sake of music
and I feel like this is the best way
for me to keep myself under cover.
The bigger picture in life being, you know,
making my own family, having you know a wife, kids.
I don't wanna be walking down the street
to have people coming up to me like,
"Hey, bro, can I get a picture?"
Bro, I'll punch someone in the face bro,
don't come to me for a picture.
You know what a ballad is right?
It's kinda like a narration,
and when you put like a bando in front of it
its kinda like your giving a narrative
from your own point of view.
I feel like music is something that has to have
emotion attached to it.
Whether your making something hyped up
or whether your making something
that's meant to touch peoples souls.
When I heard the beat, I just had emotion run from me.
And that's the first thing I though of.
Bando ballads.
People don't like it when they see you
have certain material gains that they can't achieve.
But their burn is not like a normal
put fries in the oil pan while its hot
and you know, get struck by a bubble,
like its more like some real acid shit like,
you know, completely fucking up.
Its kinda like changing lifestyles
from before pouring it in a cup to now pouring
it in a chalice where you've gone from somewhere
that was so normal to something that is so abnormal.
Something that you hardly see anyone do
because your different.
So its really more about the difference.
Kinda cool sipping out a chalice,
have you ever tried it?
I swear to god you'll feel like
the Queen of England's husband.
But much younger obviously.
Do you know how many princes and princesses
there are in Saudi Arabia?
Over 1,000 bro,
and they've all got palaces the size
of the biggest NFL stadium that you can find.
My dream palace would probably look like, no cap,
it would probably look like what Drake's got man.
To be honest.
Because that's not, its not a palace,
but shit, the way that he's done that shit bro,
it kinda does look like a palace man.
That interior and exterior is looking sweet.
Have you ever blinked a lot when you're getting head?
Yeah you got that A-1.
Not yet? Don't worry.
Come to London, I'll hook you up.
You know about that?
Cool.
Salt and pepper, you know about that.
Cool.
That's the salt and pepper.
That's a salt and pepper shaker, you get me?
Yeah?
None of that, we don't do that.
Its a (sigh).
Obviously that applies to only people of a certain size,
not everyone can pause for that unfortunately.
Shout out to the ones who can.
I used go to the store for my mum,
she used to give me a list of what to get
but it always used to be like the budget stuff
or she used to tell me go look for stuff on sale.
Now I go to the department store and I go Chanel
and I buy her shoes bro.
For like 2gs or 3gs.
If I was to tell her the shoes that I bought her was 2gs,
I would get disowned bro. I would get disowned.
She would tell me chat to her again.
If I was to tell them that's 1,000, bro,
I'm getting 1,000 lashes.
I'm a big man, you know, but I would submit
and get those lashes.
On some real shit.
You know we don't make offshore phone calls,
'cause the phone is the issue bro.
You have to go link to the person,
so even if the conversation is 10, 15 minutes,
you know I'll always spend a weekend away somewhere
in Europe just to go and have a conversation.
To make sure everything stays detailed
and everything is on the wraps.
I tend to like time pieces.
I feel like its very classy to have a watch
that's very plain.
Don't get me wrong, if you have diamonds on your watch
and diamonds on the face its cool and everything,
it looks beautiful, I think it looks beautiful.
But its just not practical.
And plus your a walking lick.
And anybody can get it.
So I grew up in London, Manchen, in North London,
North West London.
I feel like everyone in UK gets watched
Apparently the average UK citizen,
as soon as they step out their house has already
been watched by two cameras.
I used to get pulled over, stopped and searched.
I've been stopped, taken into the back of the police truck,
stripped naked, you know what I'm trying to say?
On some real shit.
Seeing these things it makes you wanna move out of there.
Because its just like you've become a constant target.
Basically what I'm trying say is its kinda like
that trust, it takes years and years, and years, and years
to build trust.
Two minutes it takes for trust to go down.
That's it.
I'm just trying my best to hang in there and be there
but, sometimes you just have to let go, you know?
You don't want to break something apart.
I'm a workaholic,
I do stuff every single day of my life bro.
I can't commit to anything until I reach my goals.
I'm hard at admitting my faults, you know.
As an individual sometimes you feel like you don't,
some people just don't deserve your time.
They don't deserve your love, your affection,
your gratitude, your generosity.
In terms of like regrets, I have no regrets,
whatever I've been through.
But in terms of fault, that is my fault.
Giving access of myself to other people
that did not deserve it.
