Sheffield Grime Artist AK went head to head with East London Grime Artist Villain on the LOTM6 DVD and had an amazing closely contested clash in the notorious LOTM ‘Dungeon’ (Jammers Basement) the official LOTM6 DVD is available to pre order from the LOTM website and will be dropping Saturday the 28th September, so we can find out who was the champion.

Before the release we caught  up with AK at Redbull studios before the first screening of LOTM6 to find out about his experience of clashing on such a big Grime Music Platform.

Do you have road beef with your opponent or is just a music thing?

Nah man me and villain are cool, before our names got matched up together we were working on Music so there’s always that mutual respect between me and Villain, were calm, but we knew that when the time came there had to be that rivalry and the fieriness.

Do you view LOTM as a platform to promote your talent or a platform to test your talent?

I’d say a bit of both really, I think when you step in the dungeon its definitely testing your talent because many men have crumbled in Lord of the Mics, many man were made to look, I reckon better than what they shoulda been, at the same time its promoting yourself as well, because LOTM is a massive platform for what we do, Grime Music, so I think it’s 50/50 really.

If you couldn’t clash with bars and had to clash with Musical Instruments which would you use and why?

Guitar, I grew up on a lot of things like Oasis so I was always band influenced to the guitar, so yeah Guitar would be my instrument.

Knowing that all of your fans will be watching you and possibly judging you based on this on this performance, how much pressure is that and how does that affect your performance?

The pressure was massive, but I think I dealt with it a lot better than what I expected to be honest, I was calm, to be fair I think I was a lot calmer than villain, I see villain pulling a few sweat bangs out. Yeah the pressure is massve, but at the same time you’ve just gotta keep cool, calm and just be be collected to make sure your on point, because you practice for weeks before and hope that it goes perfect when you get into the dungeon.

What does Grime Music represent for you?

Grime represents to me, a voice for people of the underground.

What is it like to work with Jammer and the LOTM team are they supportive or is it intimidating knowing that they are veterans?

Erm nah man I don’t get intimidated by no name, no face, no nothing, no ones a star to me everyones human. It was good because they showed man nuff love and support.

Look out for AK’s new single ‘I Like Your Wife’ Coming soon…
