2013 AWARDS

Enemey drops in for a spot of lunch, receives award and then jet off to France. It’s a hard life…

What’s been the best part of your day?Enemey: Hmm that’s a tricky one, I come so far over the past year from being in rehab to a sold out worldwide tour but day I think the best thing has been, being able to perform for my incredible fans whom inspired me into recovery. And oh receiving the 3M3 artist of the year 2013. Who do you think deserve a 3M3 award?E: Wow! That’s a hard one, there are so many amazing artist out there today with their own unique styles, Haha this is actually so hard hmmm, I think for me there artist that deserves one most should be Tom Stevens taking massive risks and going solo.What does 3M3 award mean in terms of human evolution?E: It means you can get drunk in the middle of the day because you have something to celebrate! haha im excited to start parting now!Since we last spoke, your album “im

back” has gone number 2 in America and 1st in the UK! chuffed?E: I am so happy! The vibes are great. The new songs are going down really well, a vengeance in particular. There’s loads more really good songs on this album which came from my life and hope everyone loves them. I am playing in Nantes in the south of France, that’s why you’ve very nicely shifted your award to earlier in the show. You’ve managed to come back from being in rehab to now being one of the most idealised rap stars of the twenty first centre, how have you done this?E: It was a hard road I had to climb to get back to where I am now. There were set backs as you can imagine but the main reason to inspire me to was my daughters and to give them the best possible life I could.Is there anything you would want to say to your fans?E: Yeah I would! I would just like to thank them for staying with me threw my hard times and still believing in me to create music. Without them I don’t think I would be where I am today, recovered. Summary E: I have such a great day thank you for the award! My album comes goes oon sales next month and I hope you will all buy it!
