violence and rivalries which comes out
00:19
in its music
00:20

00:41
about what i
00:42
want to rap about and what i know like
00:44
i’m a christian as well so that’s like a
00:46
big thing for me
00:47
so i know what i can say and i know what
00:49
i can’t say say
00:50
no more right coming from core let me
00:52
tell you the score
00:53
you’ve got five goals i’ve got more i
00:55
bounced it back and you hit it before
01:00
that’s right liverpool’s number one
01:01
welcome to the l100 radio show we’ve got
01:03
a special guest in the studios also
01:05

01:08
giving us an exclusive performance as
01:10
well right here on the l100 so make sure
01:11
you stay tuned for that
01:13
i was born in texas then we moved out to
01:16
anfield for a bit
01:17
i don’t want to say it’s a racist area
01:19
but i guess they just weren’t very
01:21
knowledgeable they didn’t really know
01:23
what they were doing and things like
01:24
that because there weren’t very many
01:25
black people around there so
01:27
we couldn’t park our car outside of our
01:29
own house because
01:30
it just gets smashed up on bonfire night
01:33
yeah they put fireworks through
01:34
our door and so we moved back to turkey
01:37
and then
01:37
yeah everything’s been good from then
01:39
i’ve been through like struggles
01:41
in my life as well but like i’ve come
01:43
through it now and
01:44
that’s what my music is gonna say and
01:46
that’s what you’ll hear from me
01:48
i’m lucky to have my family around me in
01:50
my music and things and
01:52
like we believe like we don’t you don’t
01:54
have to be like a product of your
01:56
environment
01:56
like you can be whatever you put your
01:58
mind to and you don’t have to stay down
02:00
just because you started there i’ve had
02:02
numerous tries on death for the last of
02:04
the pack of new to techy
02:05
need some time called brekkie more time
02:07
boxed it off already eight roads three
02:09
dots and a dash bin nowhere else with a
02:11
strip like that
02:12
or a vibe like this industrious people
02:14
behind all this gloomy brings clean
02:16
lyrics to drill
02:17
and i think that’s sick obviously being
02:19
in an area like toxics
02:20
there’s a lot of different things that
02:22
go on so i think
02:23
for a place like that rap music is a
02:25
great form of expression
02:27
you know i mean it’s very descriptive
02:29
it’s very liverpool based you can get
02:31
how you feel
02:31
out so i think that’s why a lot of
02:34
people in talks with
02:35
really just flood to rap
