divered in hello beautiful human I'm Zach that's Dan and that is KSI aka JJ what's good

you know the UK influencer life has fascinated me for a long time.

I've watched Caspar Lee, I've watched Conard Maynard, I've watched you from afar.

Yeah.

I gotta give you a lot of credit. You have been doing this for a long time.

And you have really beautifully transitioned from being a comedy rapper and maybe that's the wrong thing to call you back in 2011 209 no no no no you can that's pretty pretty spawn that's that's the right title yeah of course yeah but you've taken that and you've turned it into so much more.

Like in an exceptional amount of cultural credibility and cachet and chart success to back it up.

So, I mean, are you even surprised ever? I mean, not really. I mean,

I've been doing this long enough and I kind of knew what I wanted to do since 2017 when I,

you know, I took a little break from YouTube, social media and I kind of had that moment to figure out what I wanted to do in life and what I wanted to become.

And then I realized my passion is in music and I want to take it seriously.

So from then on, I really just worked on my craft, worked on my writing, worked on melodies, worked on my singing, worked on my rapping, worked on all these bases to make sure that when I do release an album, you know, whether it's New Age of Randolph or whatever it's dissimulation or whether it's all over the place, my recent one, that it shocks people and makes people go wow I didn't expect him
