It emerged from the party culture where the MC would cheer greet crack jokes…to keep the tempo even as the DJ played the songs. ver time his conversations were peppered with beats and tunes became more stylised and danceable too” says the dapper-rapper sporting chic coolers earrings and a thick metal chain around his neck. Talking about his affinity towards southern films he says he is grateful to A.
