WAS : First, can you introduce yourself?
MC FITTI : No :)


WAS : How did you come up with the idea for MC FITTI? 
MC FITTI : at first i just like the combination of the letters, because they look straightforward.  then i grew a beard, found some sunglasses in some box because it was summer. i always wanted to make an art exhibition and then i figured: why not use mc fitti for that. peng


WAS : So you grew up in the 80-90s. What about that era inspired you? How did it influence your music and music videos?
MC FITTI : miami vice, the fall guy, streethawk and some cartoons. hanging out at the corners, fooling around with my friends. also cars, girls and gangster music :)


WAS : How did you end up in DJ Otzi's video?
MC FITTI : basically we just met at some tv show, we got along really well and then he just asked me whether or not i was ready to appear in his video. obviously i said yes!


WAS : Where did your passion for "flamingos" and "flipper" come from?
MC FITTI : I have always think of them as a gang with flipper being the boss and the flamingos being his entourage.. hehe

MC FITTI : yes :) … everything on the street is art, like a parking spot at supermarket.
