So obviously
you've mentioned the big thing that I wanted to get into, which is After Hours.
So we're going to kind of like keep that a bit more suspense, even though I think majority of the viewers would already know what After Hours is.
I hope so Yeah So before we go into that
Let's kind of like go back a bit more Okay Yeah
So talk to me about Because again Allahumma barak I remember I used to see you lot You and the boys And you know When they was kicking ball And this and the other And then I remember You know I seen Some of your poetry work MashaAllah You know what I mean Yeah yeah yeah
And I don't know if you remember But There was one video I kid you not
Clearly Just stays on my head And it's the one that's On your personal page Yeah And I think if we think back to when it was not, I think it would probably be like 13, 14 years ago, 13, 12 years ago, something like that.

So when you first kind of like found out that talent that you had, where was it and how did that came to you?
It probably was in school.
You know...
I think a lot, like nowadays, I'm
trying to be careful with what I say.
Nowadays, there's a lot more social media.
