People don’t know about a1 man. He’s not dumb or clout hungry like the industry make him out to be. Out of all ‘drill’ rappers he’s the only one with a brain on his shoulders.
I think this comment is dumb. You’re talking like you know the intellect and academic readings of all drill rappers.
Who’s calling a1 dumb?
💯agree 🙏💞
Not dumb? The idiot said to police that the knife was his when apparently it wasn't, not dumb? Never have I been in a situation where I've had to own up to police on owning a knife. U make your own surroundings!
@@Where_has_the_sanity_gone yep a 17 year old kid surrounded by police isn’t gonna make a mistake?🤣🤣
Come on mate if he grassed about the knife he probably wouldn't be sat here now doing the interview,he done the right thing but on the other hand if he didn't take the knife in the beginning even better but you can see he's learnt from his mistakes,actually enjoyed this interview safe taboo and safe a1 from da 9
A1 used to chill with us here and there in Ealing around them times. My friend Michael introduced him to us . A1 was a very calm and friendly person, very quiet, and seemed lost the majority of the time. I always wondered why. Then, after I found out he got deported, i got to know his actual story. It's really sad he had to go through that. hope the best for him. Great character.

A1 is actually pretty smart, I've not seen a drill artist this articulate and multidimensional. Hope he goes far!
You should 100% have more UK drill artists on. This is a really engaging and interesting video and to see them being real in a one to one like this. Get some more people on if you can, you’ve earned a sub
A lot of them man dont know how to speak with confidence & the other half like to play the macho man
No he shouldn't.
The thing is most drill rappers don’t have this attitude most of them fall off and go back to beefing over streets they don’t even own lol. Most drill rappers are
Yeah but if we back his journalism he’ll find other interesting stories like this one. He Could deffo go viral getting stories like this. A1 is actually intelligent n not fake at all, that’s why it’s a good interview
They are all to gangster to do this it takes a man to sit down and open up.
It’s Really great to hear a confident , intelligent young mans story!
He ain’t intelligent cah more time he has oops and does exactly what he said these “kids” do
Intelligent? Lol. I thought he was special needs
How refreshing , a well spoken down to earth proper honest guy, you can tell he’s sound almost instantly. Respect pal you seem like someone who will fit in whatever the environment and I hope it takes you far
It hit me when he said he had to watch peadophiles a rapists go home and he was apparently the danger what a currupt system
Currupt fm??
@@rahuldahoob corrupt
@@rahuldahoob yeah I doubt he really saw that!?
sex offenders are kept separate from the rest of the prison population so what he said about him, "watching them go home / being released", is false.
@@DSDJ1986 you see them, without socialising, all the time tho...easy to see ones who've got out
Big up A1 for coming on this platform and presenting his story, anything grrrr but theres a wider audience here than fans so excellent 👏🏿👏🏿
I’ve never heard of this guy prior to this video, but his story is so gut-wrenching and moving. I wish nothing but the best for him in the future. He’s got a good head on his shoulders
So real, agree with every single word my man just said, I grew up and seen over 20 people around me lose their life, and I'm 40 yo, so it's only got worse since my time being active! 🙏🏾🤦🏾♂️ This interview hit hard 👏🏾
Watching this humbled me fr. Everyone thinks they know A1s story but they really dont know the half. What a journey you've been on bro keep shining! Your mum clearly didnt raise no quitter big up 💫💯❄
Facts
I actually respect him a lot, by 9 minutes i think it really hit that he's super aware of things from an adult point of view and he's had time to reflect on everything.
Your one of the coolest and honest blokes I’ve heard for a long long time 🤞🏻
Thanks
Man's speaking sense on carrying knives.. I carried in my teens to my very early 20s and its entirely down to fear, I started carrying one because the people I knew were carrying them and the ones that weren't would get targeted.. its almost like you have to have one otherwise people will pull theirs on you and Rob you, but if they know you've got one too then it's not worth the risk for them.. it all circles around fear.
Big up A1 blud. He out there giving us the real perspective on the drill scene
one of the best interviews I've ever seen on CZcams
What a guy , respect man you the score of life in my eyes , always thought a1fromthe9 was someone else
A lot of A1 friends I knew cause they played for my rugby team like Chris Nzeh and Deo and Charles tamale. All 3 are in prison for murder. I always used to envy tho guys cause they were much more road than me but looking back I’ve moved on, got kids and a wife etc and those guys are still in prison. My school used to get preyed on by the other schools in Edmonton (I went to latymer) but it’s strange cause the so called road kids were some of the realest most down to earth loyal kids I met whereas the nerds in my school were mostly two faced scumbags, now doing things like being doctors and lawyers where they lie all day long. As I like to say often, up is down and black is white.
Probably played this guy in rugby before. I wish all us boys just stuck to rugby tbh we’d all be pro
I've always gravitated toward street people, or road if that's what yall across the pond call it...but it's for the reasons you stated. Life's all backwards
That’s mad I wanted to go latymer so bad but ended up going winchmore and chace community
If someone is on the “road” they’re by definition a bad person…you can’t seriously be comparing them to lawyers and doctors, yeah they lie and have savior complexes but they actually add positive things to society…gangsters do the same thing but only subtract from society…your mentality is just backwards and satanic
Comment poster you are winning 👌🏻 trust me
I applied to latymer for my 11+ I didn’t get in but it’s crazy to hear these kinds of stories ab ppl I cldve potentially gone skl with
I thought A1 would come on her acting all hard but he’s acting genuinely humble.
The amount of sense spoken in this interview is through the roof 👏🏾
Man be dropping truths,I spent 32 years in London I seen more stabbings over nothing than you would believe,bless up bruv hope your life keeps climbing live the music peace
this is one of the realest interviews ive seen man i can relate to him and he speaks straight truth
Brilliant interview. The story is crazy. I hope he gets some justice soon

Wise words. I started to cry when you talk about school friends being your bros... we need more people from such a backround to speak out so honestly/be respected and listened to.. I've talked to 'real gs' and if you get on their real side they almost all feel the same.. it's just SO sad. That's the reality. 💔
shit father's leaving kids.
very good humble and real interview...
more rappers need to be like this 👏🏿
world has enough rappers. kids need to be encouraged to something better.
The taboo room is taking over 👏🏽
Eye opening interview. Thanks 🫶🏾
Really interesting man and interview. This man has definitely been through a lot and raised some important points. The law definitely needs to be fairer.
This was brilliant 👏 the concept and execution behind the camera, the honest humanity in front of it
A1 is a pioneer of North London Drill. Him Poky & Kash
I feel ya man, im at Australian detention centres right now too people here stay indefinitely with no charges after 6mth time served. And stayed in Australia for 21 years
I feel you
Some bloke, that's some story. And you're still here to tell it and are sane?
Respect
It would have been interesting to see the interviewers face whilst this was going on
Big up A1 from the 9
Alex is an articulate guy i'll give him that
Bobby interview was question and interruption
Big up A1 man real talk 🙏First time i'm talking this yute seriously
He was kinda screwed over with the deportation, but he should take accountability for his criminal acts. Attempted murders, GBH, possession of bladed article, possession of firearm. He showed his bail papers on snapchat a while ago. He also brags about stabbing people & trapping. So with all this, you can't play victim & complain that police target you. He's not a law abiding citizen.
He didn’t say the police targeting him he said the feds were unfair to him since numerous people that gone done for the same thing got less time and stress, He held the accountability he said what he did was wrong and he did the time and served it.
@@nastykash9557 all I heard was excuses. The knife CONVENIENTLY wasn't his, yet he owned up to it being his in the moment? Makes no sense. He didn't have to snitch, but he could've at least said "It's not mine".
Heard no accountability for the other charges. In fact, he brags about the works he's done. His latest song is literally "stabbers & shooters".
He reps a gang & is popular. I see why the feds tried to deport him. He was a nuisance. And I believe he still traps.
So I don't feel sorry for the guy at all. He earned his bad luck with the deportation situation.
@@michael43567 did you not listen to the interview he basically says artist and drill rappers, rap about crazy stuff like points for views and it sells that also includes himself. He admitted he’s not hard and he’s scared. He didn’t play the victim either he just said his sentence was unfair compared to other people who are arrested for the same charge. He said he’s only been charged for knife possession.
@@nastykash9557 so are you honestly telling me you believe A1 is a civilian, not in a gang, and makes up fictional things in his songs?
@@michael43567 he never said he wasn’t on gang he just said every gang member is scared and never wanted to part of the life he said he owns up to everything he done it just that when he was charged he was charged longer than other people. He’s only been charged for possession of knife.
Good, honest interview
Wow what an interview big up A1 from the 9
Real guy and is talented whatever people think. I hope to see him stay focused on the music he deserves to go far
This guy is proper for speaking real for real. I rate that!
Really good interview
A1fromthe9 - Take a Trip .. is a classic.
This guy is intelligent he knows and lives in a society that is totally corrupt thank you for sharing your story and for bringing to light the reasons behind knife crime and growing up in a peer pressure environment you got my respect bro
Smart articulate guy 👏 no need to glamorise the BS & hardships… just a real guy
Wait this channel is 🔥🔥🔥
very thoughtful fella. god bless.
Well produced interview from A1 From the 9 personal story 👏
Big up A1 he’s too underrated
Yh
King a1 big up the big man
Honest smart guy, respect🙏🏾
Hes so clued up! Do well boy❤
Solid interview. It's so refreshing to get to see the normal side of artists, especially artists in genres (i.e drill music) that may not be respected by everyone and even feared by some. The insight on this man is incredible.
I like the ending 👌 good luck bud
I want to hear the rest a1 your amazing ..
A1 love your music just keep it in your lane and you'll smash it fam you sound like a humble guy big respect from Scotland 🏴💯💪
This man needs to publish a book of his endeavours
I think he's illiterate
@@rahuldahoob really now?
Big up man
well spoken
legendary
Bruv you know what I came on here with my own thoughts of A1Fromthe9 but after watching the first 9 minutes I must say I’ve changed my mind of this bredda he’s one of the realest young black men live listened to he’s super honest everyone paints the picture that they was gangster from birth never be pressured or scared,
He’s got something very special about him I can’t say it’s music but it’s something your personality is A1 you know how to speak with clarity you need to start a podcast get millions of subs make nuff P because when you check it rapping is cool but these media guys are shutting on rappers in terms of income big up ya chest A1
Neek

Idk this guys story, but seems proper chill and real with it.
I have no clue who this guy is, or if any of his music is any good but I hope it is because dude is too good and a genuine of a person to fail
Crazy to hear the story of ppl u grew up with 💚
Mad to hear A1fromthe9 loves Rugby in another area age could’ve taken it further
Very articulate, anything at all Grrrrrrrrrrrrr & L's firmly down

He’s a genius. SAS should have a milli more views 🫣
I hope with all my heart you succeed. God bless you.
Bro even the opps can learn suttin from this.
Hard interview
this guy, i like the way he speaks frfr, best head on their shoulders within drill fr. If not pa salieu eventho hes not really drill,if not raks,tbf not really into drill,i know alot more however not really seen interviews of raks and others,going off their lyrics, conscious wise and so on.
yess I knew I recognised him. Watched something on him h4 getting dipped to German with nothing in his pockets and knew no one in Germany. Luckily a chance encounter led to him performing at a festival and managing to eat due to food tokens. Ratings to this guy. Something about him I really like him. We from different worlds but I could sit with him for hours chopping it up.
I can’t lie he gives me 2Pac vibes with this interview
I thought it was just me
🤡
😂😂😂
I had the same thought
Mad eye brows but this guy is great, ill have to check his tunes
A1 has always been sound man
I have a friend who was born in Canada, to Australian parents on holiday. They came home to Australia before my friend had turned 2, moving forward 25+ years, my friend was deported to Canada after 18 months incarcerated on non-violent charges. He told me his time in immigration detention was 10 times as traumatizing as his time in prison. To then arrive in a country where
he didn't know a soul, I can only imagine his mindset.
I am an Australian citizen and I find this hard to believe

He’s just hating. Proper jealous yout man said free clout like headie needs any off him

The problem is even if the intent of drill music is not to insight violence it still does... The 2 years prison are still fukcked up and wrong but dont get it mixed drill music does embellish the street life to the youth I think.
Loved that could have easily listened for another hour or 2, need to get on James English.
Just getting into the UK scene and I’m digging what I’m hearing. Idk the semantics, I’m just a fan. And I dig A1, mad respect but I’m a fan of Kwengface, he’s the one that made me want to actually listen and dig into what y’all got going on over there.
The funny thing is is that when tourists visit Central or anywhere in zone 1 or even parts of zone 2, everything seems extremely wealthy, afflunet and peaceful, civilized and gentrified, and for the vast vast majority of tourists, the violence and roadlife aint touching them. I guess as well it is safety in numbers, there is always people out and about at all hours in Central London, little d many tourists know that London has a violent underbelly below the surface. Edmonton is about 7 miles from Central London and might as well be a different world!
Camden is DEFINITELY a different world😂💯
So there are white areas and black areas and the black areas are shitholes? Wow why does this seem to happen every where they go no matter how many opportunities are afforded to them?
