London rapper Kinetik dropped his debut album, The Kinesis Thesis, to great critical acclaim last year, with many commentators stating that its incisive lyrics and solid beats revived the essence of the 90s golden era in hip hop. Among the fans were DITC's producer Diamond D, who hit Kinetik up personally with his praise.

A few months on, Black Sheep's Mark Devlin caught up with Kinetik to reflect on his impact so far, and to find out what comes next.
