I think 'Inception' was a sick idea, but they didn't do it correctly.
When I was younger, I was very wild, and I didn't really have my head screwed on properly.
Everything makes sense to me in Lagos; I even understand myself.
Songwriting has really allowed me to enjoy life and look at it from an objective place.
I put three productions of my youngest brother Jason on my album, on 'Konnichiwa,' and that made me happy, to be able to do that for him.
Now, I think you'll find a lot of rappers and artists are getting girl managers. It just makes sense. The guys in my team have learnt a lot from bringing girls in.
I haven't just come up with a hit - I'm not like a one-hit-wonder - I've been here for ages. No one is questioning my ability, so just enjoy the wave, spread the wave.
'That's Not Me' video cost me 80 English pounds.
There is so much good music from our scene in the U.K., and I'm happy I'm part of that movement. For a long time, we were trying to do what the Americans were doing, we were trying to do what the pop stars from England were doing, and we just didn't understand.
There's a lot of oppressed people in Tottenham, but people in Tottenham also know how to turn pain into triumph.
'Konnichiwa' was made because I don't like the industry. I really had to remove myself from it to understand myself.
I don't think grime has ever been respected; it's not seen as a nice sound.
Basically, a lot of people have asked to jump on 'Shutdown' remix, I'm not gonna front. But 'cause of quality control, we wanted to make it really big: it's all about spreading the British sound and culture.
It's not just my music. Not everyone just listens to grime now 'cause of Skepta. They like how we speak. They like the slang. They like how we dress. They listen to the music. It's everything.
I can't make hard street music for the rest of my life. Your references change.
I think the grime scene is one of the sickest, most diverse scenes ever.
It's almost a blessing for a new generation to say somebody like myself went to their school. It helps kids dream, and now they're getting into acting, football, whatever.
I suppose when I was growing up, it was all about fitting into a box or fitting into a category. You know, looking like I listened to hip-hop, or looking like I listened to grime. You'd see someone and go, 'Oh, look at that person. He's wearing that or that; he listens to punk rock.'
A good diss track needs to have some facts in it and definitely tell some truth.
Becoming a commercial scene? I don't think people in grime would be happy about that.
