How are you and what have you been up to recently?
What’s good? Crazy times at the moment. We recently we been real busy with our second album and surrounding work including a few shows.

What are the five albums that have most influenced you?
Eminem – The Marshall Mathers LP
Redman - Muddy Waters
The Fugees - The Score
Big Pun - Capital Punishment
Wu Tang - Forever

Where did you grow up? What was it like for a budding musician?
We all grew up in London. Back when we started we had Deal Real record store in central London, which had an open mic every Friday for years. That was a real good look. We used to go around hitting up all the open mics we could so we were lucky that there was a buzzing live scene! 

If you could be a musician in any era when would it be and why?
Mid 90s would have been ill ‘cos it was the golden age of Hip-Hop. That’s when all the illest Hip-Hop got made so we would have loved it, no doubt!

Is there any particular venue you’d like to play and why?
There’s nothing we’ve got our eye on in particular, we’re really just looking to do as many shows with a nice buzzing atmosphere and rock it as hard as we can!  It’s not so much the venue that makes the night, because sometimes the bigger and flasher the place, the less people can get into it.

When did you write your first rhyme?
Haha, quite a while back now. Possessed and Skirmish started writing about eight years ago, I started about six years ago now.

What books have you read and what films have you seen recently?
Recently, just been revisiting the old classics, as we’re not really feeling most of the new films that get released. In terms of books, a load of intense philosophy like Heidegger and ‘The God Delusion’ by Richard Dawkins.

If not a musician, what job would you have had in the real world?
Well, we all work as it is as well. There’s not nearly enough money in this game to eat!

Do you prefer playing live or recording in the studio?
Kind of depends on what mood you’re in. Sometimes studio can be real satisfying, when all goes to plan it’s a real good feeling to lace up new material! But there are times where it just doesn’t really work which can be frustrating. I suppose the same goes for live shows, but there’s nothing like ripping a live show because you get instant feedback.

Any burning ambitions?
Just the average really: totalitarian world domination. So nothing that’s not out of reach!
