L03: Script

The Yellow Tape

Yusuf Yellow: Started writing poetry and erm, and from then on met some people like met some rappers while I was out in LA for a while and erm, they kind of got me on some hip-hop I guess and just free styling together, writing together and it kind of just naturally went from writing poetry to hip-hop and I've always loved hip hop so it was something that naturally worked quite nicely.

Question 2: What do you like about the Sheffield scene?

Yusuf Yellow: Unity man, like everyone that is doing it just seems to show a love to everyone else that's trying hard so yeah, just everyone uniting and working together to make good music and help each other man, that's what I love about the Sheffield scene definitely.

Question 3: If you could change one thing about the scene what would it be?

Yusuf Yellow: I don't know man, maybe more promotion put into hip hop events you know, it seems like everything, well not everything but. A majority of the focus is around indie and rock and the crowds at them sort of shows are always huge because there's so much promotion and focus behind it, which is great but it would be great to see that sort of promotion be put in to hip hop too you know...

Question 4: Where do you see yourself in the future?

Yusuf Yellow: Hopefully somewhere much further than I am now you know, but I don't know man you never know what's gonna happen really, but I like to hope if I put in hard work now then by next year it should have paid off some how, you know. Even if its just learning to become a better producer, but yeah just get somewhere from the hardworking I'm putting in.

Question 5: Have you got any hobbies?

Yusuf Yellow: I like making music, I like skating. Skating is kinda fun, nothing really, I don't know. Nothing too crazy, I like drinking tea, think I might be addicted to biscuits but I don't know, I think that's about it to be honest.
