-Writing a verse every night—what’s your secret sauce for late-night creativity?
Honestly it’s just about creating a creative routine. Nightly verses are more of a creative exercise to me rather than about creating the best possible art – if I am able to write a 16 bar verse at the end of the day no matter how tired or busy I have been, it just makes it all the more easier for me to write for songs during the day when I do feel creative!

These verses almost act a little bit like a journaling exercise too as I may reflect on my day through them – I think learning how to tap into different aspects of your life to inspire art is a great thing to do.

“We Get Low” is a powerful piece. How do you channel such deep emotions into your chill
hip-hop vibe?
WE GET LOW was actually written during a pretty bad week of my life – I had fallen out with one of my friends, I had a few plans that were cancelled last minute and also had a few unexpected bills. I had just decided to work on a small track, originally for Instagram reels, when creating WE GET LOW but I just managed the channel the emotion of the week – with the premise that we all have low periods in our lives but this is juxtaposed with the highs we get as well.

I believe storytelling is an important part of my music – all my favourite hip hop acts are great at doing that. Having stories and emotions that are not only relatable to yourself but others is an important part about art as it allows us all to connect together.
