Lyrics came quite easy early on in my career. But I always wanted to push it further and stand out a bit more.

Moving into grime, our lyrics became more in-depth.

The fifties were pretty rebellious, a pretty rebellious period, around that time. And it was preceding the whole zoot suit thing which I think really contributed to a lot of anxiety, to a lot of frustration, a lot of blaming.

We seemed like we always had to be on guard.

I was a woman and younger. I started spending a lot of time in the mall doing a lot of qualitative research and really watching what consumers were doing.
