Even with me going to prison, it could have put a bad stigma on my name. But you keep going. When people see you in a low situation, when people see you fight, they respect you for it.

The women are my biggest supporters so I have to make good music for them too. Afrobeats is also often always about sexy women; we are simply celebrating the female form.

When I was growing up in my area, the worst problem for us was we never had a purpose, I'd just be looking for stuff to do, I would be bored, that's how we would get into trouble.

Everyday I look back at my history and feel regret.

There isn't a Skepta song I don't know.

My mum used to play afrobeats, my dad used to play Caribbean, my sisters and brothers played hip-hop.

My absolute earliest influences would be people like Michael Jackson, R. Kelly, Outkast, 'Get Rich Or Die Tryin' era 50 cent.

People look at kids like us and think we have no morals because we're from 'the street.' I want to show that we do live by certain standards, that we are moral people.

I put my mum through a lot of stress; police would be coming to the house... It just seemed normal to me, to be up to no good; it's what everyone did. But then you start to see friends dying and going to prison and suddenly it's not fun anymore.

One of my biggest influences is Fela Kuti.
