Quotes I’m training hard at the moment and fasting keeps me going – I can only train on an empty stomach. This album is what I wanted to do. Speaking and being seen – being visible – was a big problem for me. I avoided it for so long and I still do. I’m very comfortable living my life in the shadows, but this was me coming out of my comfort zone. I realised that it’s cool to let people into your world. No matter what you think of yourself, you’ve got to let people take you for what you are. I think your 20s are heralded as this period where you can have fun and fail and not take yourself seriously – the seriousness comes at 30, I was going through something and somebody was urging me to go to therapy with them, but I denied it. I was like, ‘It’s a bunch of bullshit, I’m not doing it’. I ended up going with them but I didn’t take it seriously, I just lied. As time went on, I realised that I was out of my mind. I should talk to someone, but I won’t. I’m so out of my mind, in fact, that if I see a therapist, they’re going to become a part of my circus… It’s a crazy way of thinking, but I love that song for how real it is I came up off the back of grime being big, when everyone was insistent on everything being strictly UK, but I always saw the world as one I grew up watching American TV shows, English TV shows, African movies, Chinese movies… I never thought that I should be limited to any sound because of where I’m from. I’d bend the way I say certain things because I liked how Nicki Minaj did it, or say something even more English because I liked how Giggs said it. 10, 12 years ago, the UK wasn’t necessarily very supportive of that, but I think that’s exactly what a lot of these new kids are doing now Lancey Foux: The godfather of UK Ug is starting a new chapter;By Solomon PM on July 24, 2026 External links Category:Rappers Category:Living people Category:1995 births Category:Singers from England Category:People from London
