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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

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.

    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

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.

    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!
