Ghetts – Back To The Future

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.

Bigz- Back To The Future

This London-born entrepreneur doesn’t just rap for a living. Bigz has been on the music scene for a long minute and has managed to open his own studio, record label, entertainment company and clothing line Flygerian Ink, of which he said, ‘Flygerian is my life. It’s what I live by. It’s more than a word: it’s a lifestyle; it’s being confident and respecting all Nigerians who came before me. Music is just the start: I’m going to become a fashion icon.’

 Favourite childhood memory?

Getting my first pair of Nike Air Force when I was seven, it was like the ones Michael J Fox was wearing in Back To The Future, but they had aluminous green lights.

 What memory would you bring back from the past to the future?

Music, I think music was better than, like 90s RnB, I’m a soul brother.

What’s was you favourite old skool album

The first album I got was when CD’s first came out, it was Run DMC Raising Hell.

What item would you bring back from the past?

Avia I’m trying to bring them back. They were hard.

How old were you when you had your first kiss?

I had a girlfriend in nursery called Kirsty, and that’s the truth. I was exposed to things when I was young that I probably wasn’t supposed to be exposed to. The first kiss was when I was five, tongues and all I was a naughty young kid.

Favourite lesson at school?

History

 Most embarrassing childhood moment?

There was one time my brother and me were bunking from school this was in secondary school, and my mum found out and she tried to move to my friends, like beat them up. She took us to school for a straight two weeks, and brought us back. She used to shout at us on the bus and embarrass us, she done it on purpose, but advised by my aunty.

Worst childhood telling off?

I wouldn’t even disclose that, but my mum knows what she done to us.  Mum knows…
