In an era where viral moments often outweigh substance, Turk stands firmly outside the trend cycle.

In a WorldWide Entertainment TV exclusive interview with Leo Vance, the Toronto artist delivers a deeply personal conversation about music, survival, responsibility, and legacy — offering insight rarely heard in today’s hip-hop climate.

Music Without a Pen

Turk reveals that he no longer writes his lyrics down, instead building verses entirely in his head. For him, music is instinctual — constructed from lived experience rather than studio formulas.

“I don’t use pens no more. I build it in my head.”

A Voice From Regent Park

Coming out of Regent Park, Turk explains that his original motivation for releasing music wasn’t money or fame — it was visibility.

He wanted the world to understand what was happening inside the community, not just those living there.

“I wanted the world to know what’s going on — not just people inside.”

Music as Therapy and Legacy

For Turk, music is emotional release and long-term legacy. He describes it as a way to exist beyond physical presence — especially for those who are incarcerated or silenced.

“When I’m gone, my name still lives. You can still hear me talking to you.”

He frequently receives messages from listeners saying his music helped them survive loss, illness, or trauma — reminders that keep him creating even during the hardest moments.

Respecting the Fans

One of Turk’s strongest stances is against artists who ignore their supporters.

“Without the fans, you’re nothing.”

He believes artists owe honesty, acknowledgment, and respect to the people who invest in their work.

Hip-Hop, Influence, and Accountability

Turk draws a clear line between rapping about reality and encouraging destructive behavior.

He warns young artists against glamorizing guns and street life without acknowledging consequences — especially when travel restrictions and legal barriers can permanently limit opportunities.

“Once you pick that gun up, guess where you’re not going anymore?”

Giving Back: Boxing Program for Youth

Beyond music, Turk plans to launch a free boxing camp for youth from troubled neighborhoods. The program will combine training, mentorship, and real conversations about gun violence, gangs, and choices.

“We’re going to talk to them about consequences. Real talk.”

Looking Beyond Borders

Turk also discusses international ambitions, battle culture, and conversations connected to King of the Dot, while acknowledging current travel limitations.

Despite obstacles, he remains focused on finding ways to move forward.
