The poet and rapper talked about connecting with audiences, sexuality and the search for inspiration

Enjoyed your gig in Bristol. Listening to you I found myself thinking of William Blake and London mysticism and London radicalism. Does that chime with you?

Yes. William Blake is a huge part of my daily life. I find his work integral. And I go and visit his paintings in the room where they are exhibited in the Tate as often as I can. I read him all the time. There is something to be said for London mysticism, that definitely has its hands on me – I can feel it. It’s definitely a mystical environment for me – there’s a strong current coursing at all times [ . . . ]
