Ahead of his album Nothing Great About Britain, which is slated for 2019, slowthai stopped by The FADER to give his take on idolizing other people, or, rather, why one shouldn't do so, the moment he realized his song "T N Biscuits" could take off, and the hunger pains that inspired him to really take music seriously.
