"I heard closed mouths don't get fed, and most rappers front about how they get dressed."- Banditsu
So I met up with Banditsu to have a mini interview! Love the vids and the lyrics. Such a lovely guy who's passion for music will give anyone motivation for what they believe in or what they are trying to do!
Rappers name: Banditsu
Government name: Romaine Fagan
D.O.B: 26/10/89
Why the name Bandistu?
Banditsu derives from the name Bandit a name that was given to me in my secondary school days. But I felt that the name no longer suited me after school. The 'su' represents growth. Also Banditsu is wordplay of Bandit and Ninjitsu lol. Used to be obsessed with ninjas as a teen and secretly still am.
Why did you start rapping?
I love hip-hop and my aunty would always give me the latest snoop and tupac since I was 7. Used to have a cassette Walkman. That love soon turned to a hobby and now I'm turning that into a career. I am very passionate about my work.
So your mum was a fashion designer, Had a shop in Covent Garden and had her clothes sold at Topshop. What was the name of her garments?
My mum she died a couple years back. Me: So sorry to hear that Banditsu! :(
Sharie La'mar in Covent Garden Neal street. Her clothes were also in Topshop with the concessions. It's cool she was a strong lady, I get my obsessive work rate from her. She deffo showed me that dreams are possible.
Do you still feel her around, was the motivation track about your mum motivating you?
Yeah it was. Me and others who feel overlooked. Certain times it's hard to keep going so that is counselling in an audio form, for me and the world! LOL
Do you ever get writers block?
All the time. lol
I just buckle down and keep trying till I have something. I was told once that a little bit is better than nothing. Simple words but so true.
How many Jordan's you got?
Only 1 pair. Bought em' late 09'. I don't think I can get anymore, there a bit too commercial these days. *huff*
I see alot of snapbacks in your 'Motivation' video, are you a collector? What one is your favourite?
Lol.. I was. But again it is getting bait (obvious). My favourite one is my Vans snapback the corduroy one.
Where do you like to chill out? What's the ultimate chill for you?
No spots in particular. It's funny because I feel out of place at all industry hang outs. I am much happier chilling with good friends. Movies, video games and smoking weed. (naughty)
Favourite rapper out there for you right now?
The list is way too long to be narrowed down to 1. Sorry. Top 3 though are Nas, Kanye West and Jay Electronica.
Album that gets the most plays at the moment?
UK though, Its Wretch 32 all the way!
You wash your jeans every time you wear em'?
Nahh I like airing them out.
You single?
I'm married to a bad b***h called music, lol only joking yes I am single.
Raw veg or cooked veg?
Raw Veg, keeps the nutrients in.
Chinese food or Indian food?
Chinese.
Do you follow my 'clothesareforlosers' blog? What is your favourite tab?
Yes I do :)
I really like the 'Who's got what on' section. It is nice to see who's kitted (dressed up) in what.
OK thanks Banditsu! It was a pleasure we had a laugh during this interview!
