Kenny Allstar chops it up with the legendary Potter Payper, sitting down to discuss his past in the scene, the musical journey, road bumps along the way and more at the BBC Radio Theatre for 1Xtra.
5 projects deep in the scene with a trilogy on his back, the duo delve into the Training Day rapper’s mindset when releasing his first project back in 2013, with Kenny asking if Potter ever foresaw his success in the scene. Nearly 10 years in the game, the pair discuss the state of the scene in the early days and how that allowed Payper to grow an appreciation for the groundwork put in by the OGs.
The conversation naturally progresses to Potter’s time incarcerated and the UK’s prison system, with Potter giving his insight into his experience in jail and the treatments convicts have to live in due to COVID-19 precautions.
