Sometimes we question why things happen the way they do... Y Not do something about it...

'Why not' is the Q&A.

 Around the start of this year I found myself freestyling to these MAD riddims Produced by the 17 year-old YovngBlake from Germany. Y Not is a special kind of tape from Squintz; residing around the 140 tempo; however unique. Squintz has retained his core dynamics such as witty wordplay, heavy hitters and retrospective... However this project feels a lot more free. "I realised I cared too much about the outcomes of things. Y not? is a statement to help encourage people to do what they love".

Who Is Niko?
Bermuda native Niko moved to London during the early stages of secondary school; coincidentally we went to the same school, yet we never met until college. Every other day we would hit the studio after college, he's been my G since then. I relate to him in a sense of code of conduct ya get me?

Who Is BethNextDoor?
I met Beth at a Travs Presents show which was hosted on 'Kindred Radio' She copped my SQ GRIME album with her crew '888 MOB' . I knew it was real since then! Haha.. We were chilling in Bradz's car freestyling and prior she lit up the set! She recently released her first single "What's Time?" Check it out!

Who is Ray Wun & Woo Hoo?
I know these man from the hood. It's quite simple really; Over years they've booked recording sessions with me and naturally we ended up creating these bangers. Ray Wun reminds me of that old school R&B vibe we all miss modernized into a mesh of Gunna & Co. 
Woo Hoo is a very calm and collected RAPPER, he takes his lyrics seriously yet still manages to have fun and do it so effortless.

Who is V.S?
MY TUG DAT. Hailing from South West London V.S or 'Violent Step' is probably one of the most talented musicians I know, I wish he would release more! He meshes the old school Hip-hop with the new Chill wave. Capable of making any genre of music he is definitely one to watch for the future.

Who is Switcher?
Switcher is not even a rapper, he just freestyles on riddims for fun... luckily he's cold!

Who is Bradz On Mic?
I met Bradz through a collaboration on a tune which I was mixing; I thought it was cold, asked him for a verse and shelled it! Since then we've licked down nuff sets and I've featured on a few of his tapes. He merges that new age Electronic trap with Grime. --

This is a 'Pete Not Larry - Lacag' GMIX produced by SPUDDY.

I recorded dis one at 6am on a XLR mic ygm.


On my birthday I rowed a boat down the lake
With a bad one who was the one with cake?
Fair skin sweets with a body so cray
Had to ask her if it’s real or fake 
I was in the gym tryna triple my plate
Tryna disappear and return wham like drake
Man try camouflage shots like bape
Can’t say it to my face what’s the point that’s a waste 
of energy I sip henessy no chase
won’t war divvy mc’s like Pete not Larry
They skeet in the back of cabby’s
No money for swammys just money for fanny 
That’s why they spend wage on dolce and gabani 
Ain’t given sums to their mum or nanny 
I was at the addy never see no Bally  
I was at the addy got peak in the alley
2 on 1 for the tick not me Silly pricks
you won’t get Kane 
if you ain’t buying like Harry I could never be pally for the fame no way,
always had a barry like Tim
No lay cah I’m Trill going Banks only part of the thrill 
And I can’t be drawn out still 
I’m animated like a tik tok reel 
I’m phenomenal,
Where are the villains?
They sittin on the fence like they couldn’t Bill Gates
Comical behaviour not on my estate
Nowadays I am aware cah my face is bait
Even though it’s rare
I’m ready for the beef
piercer on me if it Is at steak,
Can’t escape from the choices you make
Another day another pound another shot to make
SQ are you active, have you got space?
I I’ll be there in 5 like Kuwait
Studio trapping for me dats the way 
man wanna be bad when they’re good what a shame 
Manners and love never took no blame 
see a face in the club get paint with shame 
Manners and love never took no blame 
see a face in the club get paint with shame
