Tim Westwood chats to I Like Music
TIM: Staying out of trouble nowadays is incredibly difficult for young boys growing up in the scene. In the streets now it's very violent with all the robberies that take place. I'd be surprised to hear of anyone in an inner city school who hasn't been a victim of a robbery. The main thing is not to perpetuate that so, just because you've been victimized and robbed, don't raise up and start robbing other people. And I think that's the vicious cycle that's out there at the moment. That these young people are really getting victimized by the street robberies which I think are happening all around the schools now. Just like someone who is bullied often ends up a bully, you really mustn't get caught up in that man; you really need to try to live a better life than that.
Young people who get victimized like that have no way of really coping with it and their rage and anger often turns back on them becoming angry themselves, and then they get caught up in that cycle. I think that's tragic right now.

Jun: ilikemusic because... music can convey a mood, enhance a mood or change a mood. Music can be used to inspire and the artform is simple yet complicated. It's fun to listen to and even more fun to create and perform. It speaks when just a simple word can't. It's a blessing!!

Master Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
Sam, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly: ilikemusic because... Music is a special thing that is not like anything else in the world. You might argue that you can translate emotions through films and through books but anyone can make music, whether that be humming or singing along to the radio, it’s something that gives enjoyment and positivity to many people.
