Fast Five with: Tuka

One part of the Thundamentals, but a respected hip hop singer in his own right, we had a chat to the legend about the bigger things in life. Namely, sniffer dogs at festivals, living forever and the age old question of scrunching or folding.
Who’s a rappers career you envy and why?
I really really think Mos Def has had a crazy ride, he’s had a little bit of commercial success but he’s been able to forge a career out of being really honest with himself – which I respect. So Mos Def.
Sniffer dogs at festivals, yay or nay?
Look they have a job to do, if they’re finding meth on people then I’m stoked. I don’t want people taking violence inducing drugs at a peaceful festival. But I kind of feel like there’s bigger fish to fry than a 16-year-old kid with a joint or an 18-year-old guy with a pill. These guys are just having a good time and they’re not the ones who have sold it to anyone, I just feel like the police are making a big payday out of it. It’s a pisscake, there’s so many police there. If I was a criminal I would go rob peoples houses on the day of a big festival because all the police are there. That being said, drugs are illegal and it’s their job to find people doing illegal things and I can respect that.
Scruncher of folder?
Definitely a folder.
If you could live forever, would you do it?
No, definitely not. Nup.
Three things you couldn’t live without?
Love, light and music.
