His lyrics appeal to common people, In CCTV The lyrics speak of frustration with unemployment, Hot Chick - about finding healthy relationships, Back at it tells of persistence and meeting deadlines, while Ancient Scrolls speaks of quitting addictions and replacing them with more positive and empowering behaviours!
