Pound Sterling describes his music as raw and un-cut, simply because he keeps it real and says whatever is on his mind, “I talk about my life, it’s almost therapeutic getting things off my chest.

My diary.” Influenced by the likes of 2 Pac, Nas and Jay-Z, they have inspired Pound Sterling to find a sound of his own and to generate that to listeners.
