With his album selling like the proverbial hot cakes in record stores across the land and new single Nico Suave bubbling on 1Xtra, Musicalbear met up with Yungun aka Essa at his North London base to talk about how he came up, where he's at now and what the future holds for this promising young rapper.

The backing track used in the interview is the new Latin flavoured 12" which was produced by Evil Ed and which also features Jehst and Asaviour on the flip, singing the praises of one of their favourite substances (can you guess what it is?).
