With the music that I've put out, I realized that putting pressure on an album isn't always the right thing to do for yourself.
In this music industry, you'll find the differences with artists. You get some people who really love music... and you get people who do this because they want to have money or want to be famous.
I don't know what I'm going to end up doing, but its definitely in the right direction for freedom and truth.
Radio 1 doesn't exist to me. I don't judge my success by anything they say.
I know that I'm in grime, but I had to separate myself and do things myself.
I think about this every day. I wonder, 'Is today the day where everybody stops lying to themselves and realises that the government is the enemy?'
There are people who take on different objectives and missions in life. When you grow older, there's a a void - and right now, I'm filling a space where a lot of old rock, grime, hip-hop, punk artists left a vacant space.
Britain is just a melting pot for every culture. Like a pot for every culture around the world mixed into one. Artists over here understand that more.
Beyonce's 'Bow Down,' to me, that could be a grime tune. If it's electronic and 140-ish bpm, and people go crazy to it, to me, that's grime.
I go to award ceremonies, but I always like to be in my world. That's the only place I can control where I won't get upset.
England is so black and white, so plain, like a burger with nothing on it. No salad, nothing. That's why it's so real.
I definitely think that my vibe has rubbed off on Drake a bit.
Boy Better Know, when we die, people are going to realise that we are just seven guys who just, like, try to have fun.
It's important for anybody who finds success to show other people where to find it.
When I was a kid, I used to stop bullies. I'd get so angry when I saw people being bullied. I'd be like, 'Stop doing that to him!'
I'm not gonna ever announce that I'm going to do an album again. Waking up with that on your head almost doesn't allow you to make the best album you can.
Songs like 'One Love' by Bob Marley - they stand the test of time - it doesn't matter - so anytime I write music, I try to write in tune with an emotion, and I hope there are more times like that for everyone.
When I finally got there, to where I thought was the top, I wasn't doing what I was doing in the beginning. I was not happy.
They respect rappers in the U.S., but in England, it's the Queen's country. She'll forever be putting out the message on these BBC networks that there's no hood: it's tea and red phoneboxes.
I am blessed to have been able to travel the world doing what I do.
