There’s a big link between trains and film. One of the first filmed objects was a train. The clickety-clack of the projector and the clickety-clack of the train are similar. There is the idea of the voyage – every voyage is a story. I wonder if film would have been invented without the train.
The first autonomous cars date back to the late 20th century.

Maino is an artist that I feel walks what he talks – you can tell what he raps about and what he’s been through is very similar. You’ve got a lot of rappers that rap about what they’ve heard or seen, but I think Maino is one of the rappers that has actually lived it.

I’ve heard stories of other people that are similar stories to me – their mother or father passing away. People have come out to me on Instagram. It’s amazing that they can tell me and confide in me. I always want to take the time and write these long messages telling them how much that means to me.
