Limerick Rapper Willzee: From Foster Care to Finding His Voice
“For me, writing everything has to be in my own thing. The other side was coming from the travelling community, because people assume, because you come from the travelling community, that you're illiterate, you're back to front. Like you know, your community is full of great people.”
