Scroobius Pip

Howdy! Ive never used Reddit before but my twitter and facebook got a load of requests for me to do an AMA so here I am! And happy to be here too! If you have no idea who I am, I am a spoken word and hip hop artist, I run a label called Speech Development Records (tour just announced), I have a radio show on XFM called "The Beatdown", I run a clubnight called WE.ARE.LIZARDS and a film night at the Prince Charles Cinema. Think thats everything! PROOF:

My 5 Questions:

1. A while ago on your Facebook page you were building an album of people that have tattooed lyrics from your songs on themselves. How does this make you feel? What was the greatest tattoo of your song lyrics that you have seen?

2. Despite the fact you have seen an incredible rise in fame since the release of Thou Shalt Always Kill, both you and Dan le Sac always seem so down to Earth - ensuring to meet your fans. I remember seeing you both play in Kelly's Bar in Galway, Ireland, and taking the time to talk with the audience both before and after. How do you remain so down to Earth and do you think it important that other artists do the same?

3. You may not know this, but you have been the centre of a battle of insults between a friend and I - when you did your first solo performance in the Roisin Dubh, Galway, I asked you to write a note to this chap calling him a c-nt. Last year when you returned to the same pub, he met you and you two recorded a video calling me one. I need to one-up him somehow - is there any way you could write a song telling him how big of a c-nt he is? I'm sure he'd really appreciate it.

4. This week Stephen Fry tweeted about you. How did this make you feel?

5. And the last question would be --- how do you get your beard so awesome?

Distraction Pieces 10 year anniversary edition:

"I honestly can’t believe it’s been 10 years but, that aside, I HAD to mark it with something special.

So I took my recording equipment to a forest and recorded a spoken word version of the album (along with a few bonus tracks) as part of a gatefold, double white vinyl anniversary edition for you lovely lot!

We went all out on it as it’s gatefold and that’s always cool as all hell.Matt finish, “10 years apart” artwork in the middle… all the good stuff.

I hope you enjoy it all!"

-Pip
