I am for feminism. I stand up for women standing up for themselves in the same way I stand up for being black.
- Girl
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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?'

All the other rappers around me aren't saying anything worthwhile. They're lost in rap: all they do is tell you they're a sick MC and they're better than you. I don't want to look like all these other little punk, dress-up, fake, manufactured artists. I'm not a rapper. I'm an activist.
- Dog
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've realised that there's art in everything we do in London. Suddenly, a photo of two boys sitting on a wall in tracksuits with a dog can go online and be considered a sick photo. That's what we've done to London.
- Happy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You have to understand, that's all I've ever wanted: for London to have a credible musical voice. I will honestly, honestly die happy knowing that I saw it happen.
- End

I don't know what I'm going to end up doing, but its definitely in the right direction for freedom and truth.

Every year, I always go abroad with dark music, and I'm going to these places, and I feel like I want a party rep - I want something that everyone is going to go crazy to and enjoy and have a good feeling.
- Country

- Nov 07, 2020
A lot of us who've made grime might be in the chart, but that is because of the country we are in.

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.
- Happy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Becoming a commercial scene? I don't think people in grime would be happy about that.
- Head
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.

Pharrell loves music. When I'm with him, it's like I'm working with someone that I've known all my life, and we're both there to make the sickest track we can.
- Me

'Konnichiwa,' to me, is a classic because I don't make music for today where everyone is going to judge what I did in two years; they're gonna tell me today.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was trying to make songs to go to America, to go to Japan, they'd never work.
- Music

- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A good diss track needs to have some facts in it and definitely tell some truth.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The thing about awards is that a lot of those moments are about the whole world telling you that you deserve it and rah, rah, rah. I'm very appreciative of that, but I love experiencing stuff by myself. Because it feels different. You know the truth, and you can hear what the voice in your head is saying properly.
- Boy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Even with the 'Top Boy' series with Ashley Walters... I've been talking like on the creative direction wave with Drake about the series. Making greatness with it. The whole style of what's going on in London, the sound, is real. It's an actual thing that actually happened. So it deserves to be on the telly.

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.

In school, I wasn't like the cool guy who had all the new clothes and had all the girls. I felt like the world saw me as an idiot.
- Black And White
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Lie
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I was a youth, to be called 'African' was a diss. At school, the African kids used to lie and say they were Jamaican. So when I first came in the game, and I'm saying lyrics like, 'I make Nigerians proud of their tribal scars/ My bars make you push up your chest like bras,' that was a big deal for me.
