He commented: "I'm secretly not a bad rapper, and I really like to do a bit of beatboxing. Eminem has always been a favourite, but Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" is a classic."[3] On 27 August, during an interview with Digital Spy, Murs stated and that he was looking to create an album that was gracious of his roots.[4]
