For anyone oblivious to you currently taking over the blogosphere, would you introduce yourself?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My name’s Sincere and I make some pretty awesome music. I\u2019m a rapper born and raised in London and I love fashion almost as much as I love music.<\/p>\n

At what age did you begin to have a passion for music, both writing and performing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was about 14 when I first realised I wanted to make music. The first thing I wrote was a verse to House of Pain’s Jump Around. People liked it when I showed them so that gave me even more enthusiasm to continue making music. In terms of performing, the first time I got on stage and heard everyone cheering when I finished I knew I was hooked for life. <\/p>\n

Where was your first live gig?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My first live gig was in Hackney in a venue called Chats Palace. I was in a group at the time so I didn\u2019t feel as nervous as I do sometimes now stepping on stage alone. I\u2019ve come along since then to being about to support Wretch 32 on his first nationwide tour. I\u2019ve rehearsed for hundreds of hours to the point where I feel like it\u2019s my second home when I\u2019m on stage.<\/p>\n

You’re heavily inspired by American rappers. Who were your biggest influences when growing up?<\/strong><\/p>\n

First of all Biggie Smalls, 2Pac and Nas, then later on Jay Z and early Cash Money\/Lil Wayne records. Now my American influences merge from Kanye West and A$AP Rocky to Andre 3000. <\/p>\n

You’ve collaborated extensively with various underground artists, but if you could collaborate with any other arti<\/p>\n

st (dead or alive) who would be your first choice?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bob Marley, because he made music that inspired people to be better and he wrote from the heart. I listen to him a lot now and I\u2019m still amazed this his music still sounds better than anything being made today. I get the same feeling when I listen to Sade.<\/p>\n
