Farma opens up about the journey from Task Force to his solo debut "How to Kill a Butterfly", the weight of carrying legacy, and how coming back to rap after producing under FarmaBeats has given him new purpose. We talk ADHD creativity, beat hoarding, monetization in a niche UK market, and the honest reality of not being part of the clique. We dive deep into what it's like being the brother of Chester P, breaking the mold, and rapping to prove—not for fame—but to remind people who still runs this lane. Farma also unpacks his success with US underground artists like Rome Streetz, Hommy, and Mooch, and how a random message led to global collabs born purely on the merit of the beats. If you’re a UK artist, creative, or lifelong head—you need to hear this. It’s not just a history lesson. It’s a warning. It’s a manifesto. It’s Farma G being Farma G.
