Random Impulse Interview

When's your mixtape actually coming out?
ETA is the first two weeks of april.

Will it be out in HMV?
It will be out nationwide in hmv and out worldwide via itunes ect approximately 4 weeks after the initial release.

What Producers and Calobs will you have on this mixtapes?
Erm, theres a few well recognized producers such as Maniac and Dexplicit, right down to up and coming super-producers like Product and Y.Wizz. Almost every song is produced by somebody different in order to get the kind of versatile disc I wanted. As for the features...ahh your gonna have to wait and see!...there might even be a bonus feature lurking around somewhere.

Are you going to be jumping on this t-shirt thing and make one?
Put it this way, if i do, you wont know it was my t-shirt.

How much of the new mixtape will be grime?
See the joke is i honestly have no idea. Im a Grime MC through and through, and in my eyes, like 75-80% of it is grime or heavily grime influenced. But in an age where people say JME isnt making grime i have no idea. There are alot of influence from other genres within alot of the tracks and I think thats when it gets confusing I guess but hey, at least theres no high speed vocal sample hip hop!

Where did you get the name Random Impulse from?
Back when i started in 2003, two olders (suge and dimples) named me that as im so 'impulsive'.

Whats your view on bootlegging?
Dude...it sucks

Who do you rate most in the scene now & Why?
Wow, too many names man. Obviously my co-d Rinse, and theres Goodz, Dimples, Ghetto, JME and Skepta, too many.

What do you feel is holding "Grime" back?
The fact that people are so quick to shun grime artists releases, claiming its not grime, but when their asked "what is grime?" you get hundreds of different answers. We can just tell whos a grime artist and who isn't. Sway, Professor Green and K-lash all have spat on grime songs, but we all know there hip-hop artists. The same goes for say Ghetto on hip hop, we KNOW hes a grime artist no matter what. I believe the reason is, grime has become a culture and we should stand by our artists flying the grime flag, even if they don't just do that genre every single time they do a song.

Are G Fam working on a joint effort?
Wow erm.. yes?

Which track from FMA do you feel the most and why?
'I Need You', because... just make sure you listen to the whole thing, I love the concept. Either that or the heroine or the final goodbye. Ahh I dont know! Im really proud of this cd man! haha.
