Grime go-getter Ghetts has been causing trouble on the scene since 2000 & Life was released all the way back in 2005, when he was known as Ghetto. The ex-NASTY Crew member is not afraid of dropping a real freestyle – he has an impressive number of quick witted winning clashes under his belt as he does tunes; humorously intelligent as he is hyper. The BET-nominated artist has been collaborating with artists like Cher Lloyd and his forthcoming album Hurricane Ghetts is out soon.
The MC reminisces with Flavour about favourite past times and the not so memorable…
Favourite Childhood memory?
Lion King is one of them defiantly. Going on outings with my parents, sick memories from then. My dad teaching me to ride a bike, that’s an important memory, you have to pass down.
Favourite food when you were a child?
Rusk biscuits
Favourite book?
I had a favourite book as a child. What was it called, my man…was it the Mad Hatter? Dr Seuss!
If you could take something from the past and bring it to the future what would that be?
My friends that are gone.
Favourite old skool album?
2000 and Life, made by some artist called Ghetto he’s sick still. You should check him out.
Favourite old skool tune?
(Starts singing) ‘Never Let You Go’ Tina Moore
What item would you take from the past and bring it to the future?
Do you remember those things when we were kids, and you used to press them, and they used to say swear words like f*** off and all of that? That voice box thing, like a toy with Tourette’s.
When was your first kiss?
(someone shouts when he was two). I slobbered something down early, like nursery times. How old were we in nursery? Cos I had a ting I nursery and I still know her now.
Most embarrassing moment?
I ran into a goal post
Favourite lesson at school?
Religious education
Worst telling off?
We never got told off, we got beat up. We got f***** up. The worst one can’t go on record, my mum will get arrested. We had bad ones, I deserved them all though.
