00:00It's good to see you. Are you having a good time tonight so far?
00:02I am, yeah man. It's great, it's exciting.
00:05Okay, you're up for best new act. How do you fancy your chances?
00:09Justin Bieber has a massive fan base, so I don't think that's been the right thing for me.
00:13But, you know, I'm just happy to be here, happy to kind of...
00:18I don't know, man, I appreciate where I've got to and that's enough for me.
00:21I mean, you've already had a phenomenal year. How's it been so far this year?
00:25I mean, you've already won quite a few awards.
00:26What's been the kind of moment that defined it for you this year so far?
00:31I can't remember when I went on Jonathan Ross. That was this year, right?
00:38Just about, I think so.
00:39I think that changed everything.
00:42Going on Jonathan Ross and obviously the amount of people that watched Jonathan Ross,
00:46it just, you know, people would suddenly start recognising me in the streets.
00:50And I just, I think that was the turning point, that's when it just went...
00:54Okay. And now it's defunct, so it's a part of history. The show's gone Jonathan Ross.
00:59And can you tell me a bit about the new hip-hop album? How's that shaping up?
01:03The new hip-hop album is just like, basically, the Strickland Banks story told in greater detail.
01:08Okay.
01:08So there's certain things in the Soul album that you don't know.
01:12Right.
01:12Like, he talks about this angel that saves him in praying.
01:15Okay.
01:15Well, in the hip-hop album you find out who that person is.
01:18Right.
01:18And he has his own backstory and stuff.
01:20And so, it's more like the defunct, the Strickland Banks is the soundtrack to a film,
01:25and therefore the ballet that film was just maybe the novel.
01:28Okay. And the film itself, Ill Manners, how's that progressing?
01:31That's in the can, I just need to edit it, and do the soundtrack, and get it out there.
01:37So when are you going to edit that? This year is that going to be?
01:39December.
01:40When?
01:40December.
01:41December. Okay, with the release date in...
01:43Yeah, I won't even talk about release date.
01:45Fair enough.
01:46Okay.
01:46Great. Have a great night, man.
01:47Thanks a lot.
01:48Cheers.
