Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

7. Tupac ShakurMe Against The World

Biggie got me first, but Tupac is someone I used to listen to. He grew on me. Every time I used to listen to him I’d just think, ‘this guy is big man’. I was probably banging out that album years after it came out and that’s when I really was like ‘oh my god, this guy is a don’, so yeah Tupac definitely has to be in this list. A lot of these albums are what I listen to when I go away on holiday or if I’m on a long flight or going somewhere like Australia. Even at special times like my birthday I might draw for these albums. This is one of the ones that has longevity. Definitely has to be on my list.
