In a discussion on the CreativiTea Live with Linda podcast, Basketmouth talked about his new movie, A Ghetto Love Story.
He encouraged his peers to collaborate with younger talents. At 46, he believes he has valuable experience but is open to sharing his platform and learning from the younger generation.
