On May 12, 2007 are presented rapper Turbo Smooth CD 'Live My Style'. Art.1 was there, because the proceeds from the release party makes Art.1 one lesson on bullying in one of his videos. An Interview with Turboglad, a young rapper with ideals, of something small always want to make something big.

Fourteen years he is still, but Turboglad working hard on the road. He is a rapper from the committed type. Hiphop is according to him not to bling, pretty girls, powerhouses and lots of money. "Hip-hop is a rhythmic, poetic way to bring out your feelings. Both positive and negative, about injustice example. It is a good medium for your egg to lose."

Otherwise
In his lyrics he raps about bullying and threatening, something he has experience. He expressed his frustration about the number Survive Style. Now he uses the rap in the workshops that he gives to elementary school students. "I tell them something about the background of a rapper (the beats), the structure of texts and working with music software programs. Then I go over to my rap Survive Style and tell me about my own experiences."

"Very often asked me why I was actually bullied. Because they often think that only happens if you're fat, a crooked nose or flapoor have! This appears not to be so. That you are different in any way therefore it is often the cause of bullying. In my situation is that I am quite often in the news. You will then soon a braggart in the eyes of some. People sometimes look different to you than you actually are. "

Listening and talking
Turboglad experience, a delight to the workshops. "It's nice how children attentively listen to you. All in their own way, some people look at you with astonishment, others staring out, but listen. I also like my generation to tell something about the real picture of hip hop . But the best part is when children from themselves talk. Last began a student from group 8 to tell about bullying. The teacher said that he had never done before. "

Ideals
The inspiration flies in your face: Turboglad is clearly not afraid to be idealistic. "I try my ideals into reality. Everyone must contribute on this earth, I think. A better world make with each other, I always try something small to something big. I'm often on the IJssel us under the bridge. The river begins very small and flows into the great unknown sea. A beautiful metaphor for my life, I hope! "

If the Turboglad is, we have a lot of him hearing and seeing. After the release party of 'Live My Style "has many performances, collaborations, workshops and projects in the pipeline. A second CD is also planned. "And then I also went to school. I'm in two high school, it goes very well and I want to keep it that way. I am also active as a spokesperson in the National Youth Debate. We go in September this year to talk with Prime Minister Balkenende in the House. "

Ali B.
Militant Dutch hiphop, talk with Balkenende's Turboglad... sometimes the new Ali B.? "I do not think so. He is a great example for me, especially as a warrior when it comes to injustice and discrimination. But I'm Turbo glad, and he is Ali B. I think you should stay yourself, but also 'separate' should be enabled to make. That last I'm sure, but if I'm as famous as Ali B., who knows? Maybe I'll be a writer or poet. Or something completely different."
