Can you tell us about your new project and the background and inspirations behind it?
How have you ended up in the music industry?
Muisc in my blood my grandma brother were in a band, my dad is a musician, he had a uk top 30 chart hit back in 1990, so av been surround by the music all my life, but I gotta big up my aunties my paps sister they showed me proper hip hop from ice cube, black sheep, run dmc, de la soul,tribe called quest, 3rd bass, I could go on for ever lool
What do you think of the music industry at the moment?
Hmmm am getting use to it, like I said i do believe in rolling with the times, but it taken me a while to get use to this new skool hip hop (but am not down with that techno sounding shit) Am getting use to this free downloading thing its like everybody putting there music up for free download, so u cant really make money off music, unless u some super star lol, cause everybody expect free download all the time. So u gotta build a fanbase and hope ur fans buy your shit, cause its like nobody wants to buy music anymore, thats why I do clothing to help shift my cds, buy my Carriacou jack clothing u get a free cd. But yeah the industry kinda mad at the mo.
Who inspires you when you make your music?
Alot of 90s music inspires am a 90s head, but am listen to new skool too, I like joey badass, j cole, kendrick lamar
Who have you collaborated with so far in your Career?
Av done ft with Brutal Artistry, Beat Butcha, klashnekoff, DjQ, Apa Tight irn Mnky and other producers and mc's
Who would you like to collaborate with in the future?
Anybody whos good, and wants to make good music, but I would like to have rock from heltah skeltah on a track lol
What was the first album u bought?
My 1st album I bought was a group duo called illegal tha untold truth. it was lil malik from the west coast, and jamal from def squad from the east coast, Eirc sermok produced most of the Lp, shit I paid £18.99 for that shit on import haha still got it too
Whats your favorite song at the moment?
Cru - just another case
If you had to sell your music collection tomorrow, what album would you leave in your drawer?
Add rather stay broke, I couldnt sell them you would have to kill me haha
What do you think of TV music talent show competitions?
Load of bullshit and they are all fixed, but thats Saturday TV for ya haha
What do you do when your not making music?
Concentrate on my clothing line called Carriacou Jack, push and promoting the garms check them out i got college jackets, jumpers, t shirts and beanie hats at BigCartel
How many followers do you have on twitter?

How do you feel about Underground Hip Hop at the moment, do things need to change?
