“IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING?”

Exclusive Interview With KevRoc...

Yeah boy! what you got on me?

Yeah i heard about your confi dence but there has been a few rumours going around...

Really like what?

Well there has been an issue raised about your fi nancial situation but obviousely it cant be true with the amount that you earn can it?

Well there has been money problema in the past but man has paid them all off by now so no1 can say shit to me

Well kev we have had an issue raised about your drug problema and how this gets you into debt, is it true that you owe over £9000 for drugs?

Nooo, there may have been issues in the past where i have owed a small amount of money but nothing large, and anyway is it any of your business what i choose to do in my own time, im sure that you have no right to ask me these things, trust me i know the law!

Well do you now, you see its our job to go into detail about your life but we have somebody special with us today that has known you for years and claims that you owe him £500 for drugs and are refusing to pay it off, is this true?

Who is this wasteman?

This “wasteman” goes by the name of vineboii, do you know him?

Oh, yes i know him me and him go way back to our teenage days when it was just about the music but whatever he says about me owe-ing him money it is not true, he may have lent me some money in the past to help me out you knw as a mate but thenhe adds on interest which i believe is unfair

And how much interest did he add on and how long was it until he added this on?

Well at fi rst i owed him £300 which i was willing to pay off but then he added on an extra £200 interest, like a twat

Errm yes we know all the details but how long had it been until he decided to add on the interest?

I would prefer not to answer this ques-tion

Come on its either you answer or we could just arrange an interview with vineboii ourselves?

No need ill tell you, Vine added on the £200 interest after 23 years of me not payin him which i think is unreasonable as he is supposed to be my mate.

Twenty three yearsb is a long time though, how could you not afford to pay it off even though you do earn money every week, are you a tramp or some-thing?

Is this really happening? did you just call me a tramp?

No kevroc i asked a question if you are a tramp because it took you 23 years to pay off a simple debt when you earn 3 times that amount in a week?

I dont like the way you are going about this im off...wasteman

Wait kev? im not fi nished...

Hi there KevRoc is it true that you are the king of graffi ti hip hop?
