Mc terror and ordinary boy from the streets of London, now a popular star for the faces of many in the world. People ask who is this guy and where has he come from. MC terror was born in the heart of East London and lived with his father and mother but when he was at a young age his father had been shot in the heart due to a gang outburst. MC terror at the age of 11 witnessed this tragic incident. He was then bought up by his mother who tried her best to give MC terror anything he wants. ‘My mum treated me like a king, and all I wanted was her to be happy with me.’ But what happened to MC terror when he got older?

At the age of 16 MC terror started hanging around with people he never should have. ‘I don’t know what I was thinking, I just wanted to be cool and known so I thought I would chill with them but I guess I made the wrong decision at the time.’ MC terror went onto doing drugs, selling drugs and becoming part of a gang. He left school at the age of 17 and started doing this for a living. ‘I just wanted to have some fun; I just thought to myself my dad did it so why can’t I?’ 2 years later MC terror was arrested for crime and served 1 year in prison. ‘Prison was like hell, I was being tortured from every possible angle I just couldn't hack it, at one point I was going to commit suicide!’

What made him change his mind and go into music? ‘When I came out of prison I had some people after because of all this gang fights, I was stopping all this things I use to do. When I use to be at home I just use to right lyrics on my wall showing my expressions and one day my mum must have seen it and she told me to go ahead with my dreams and become an artist. I use to go to the radio every day and this just made me much happier. But one day when I was coming back from the radios someone was following me, I heard them and I ran into my house, I ran into my mums room and shut the door, my mum tried helping me but they barged in and they stabbed my mum.’

How did this have an effect on MC terror? ‘I was thinking about leaving music and just get a normal daily job, but my mums last words to me we become a star and fulfill your dream’ MC terror then went on to carry on making his own music, going to radios and record his own songs but who was that man who actually found him? ‘I posted my first track my life on YouTube and a month after posting the track I got a call from the famous star Skepta who told me to meet him up because he thought I was a talent hiding.’ Soon after this MC terror had released his first album ‘Roller coaster’ which was describing how he got here and what he went through MC terror is now an inspiration to many youngsters in this world. This terror journey and tough decisions got him to a place where he would never imagine. ‘If It wasn't for my mum I would not be here now, I am at the top because of her and I hope I made her proud.
