Hip hop is bigger in the UK than it was a few years ago. The scene is looking up.  What projects have you released so far and what feedback have you had?  I have released 7 mixtapes; ‘Illusions Of Da Struggle’, ‘The Struggle Continues’, ‘Rainy Days’, ‘Rainy Days - The Sequel’, ‘As The Sun Sets The Rain Pours’, ‘Made In Britain’ and ‘Worldwide Invasion’. Every tape released has had some kind of radio play. I have had songs supported by DJ 279, Jenny Francis, Manny Norte and more…
