"I'm living proof of being able to escape the situation you were born in to by hard work. Every time I got kicked out of school my mum was heartbroken. To her, education was really important, and I learned a lot from her. My first album was a continuation from what I'd learnt at school. Just using computers, databases, straight to learning cubase. The more you do anything, the better you become."
Dizze Rascal (MC)
