PhoreCite is a great example of what we like in a Welsh rap artist. He can do it all, he creates his instrumentals, records and produces his music long with writing his lyrics and he’s also been involved with Battle Raps. Phorecite has an old school vibe and just creates great music. He is 100% an Urban Culture Wales favourite. We love his style, aggression and mentality, all of which combine to develop into a musical style we here at UCWales feel makes him an advocate for Welsh Urban Music.

We had the chance to ask Phorecite some questions. Here's how it went:
Where was the audio recorded for this album and who produced it?
The Dungeon Of Funk. I produced most of it but Jesta (The Illagenics) threw a couple in and I got a production feature from Doc Teej on there too.

Battle rap about ten years ago.

I been playing a lot of Squid Ninjas recently too. How long does it usually take you to write your songs? Depends on the song, I usually produce all my own shit at night but I write in the morning. How would you describe the music that you typically create? Underground hip hop from North Wales. What is your favourite song to perform and why? Death to the Wack.. I like the way it builds up in energy each verse.. Which famous musicians do you admire? These days not many... what it means to be famous has changed from actually having talent to purely how marketable you are. There are a few out there...

Would love to go to the bronx to see where this shit all started.. How has the pandemic affected you? I'd rather not say... listen to the album. What do you think of the pandemic? Something terrible happens.. we are all told to be terrified...new rules... less freedom.... rinse... repeat.... I dread to think what the next ones gunna be but by the time they done with us all we wont be able to fart without the correct paperwork.. What’s next for you in 2022? So far this year... I made 30 beats and wrote about 20 verses... most of it is political this time...
