He’s preparing to release his second album - something he’s been working on since he moved to Los Angeles six years ago.

    I wonder if I would feel that way about London after time away in the US... I feel it is segregationist now, certainly the way he describes Chinatowns apart from Latinx villages applies here.
    And this interview is also about class and capitalism, if you'd name it C4.
