Born in south London , he credits “life, my Nigerian and Jamaican heritage, death, my parents, drugs, nightlife and emotions” as the major influences behind his music, which materialises as forward-thinking international-sounding rap. “Music has always been a part of my life,” he says. “All day, all night, just tunes being played.” Despite recalling his dad, DJ Swing of Choice FM and the Boogie Bunch, playing classics from Biggie to Erykah Badu, young Kasien rebelled and found his first love in the dark and moody world of nu-metal.
Kasien has toured with the likes of Slowthai, Bakar, and featured on records with the legendary Mike Skinner of The Streets, Flohio, and Cadenza, as well as receiving co-signs from global artists like Davido and Amine. At such an early stage he has partnered with brands such as Nike, Places + Faces, A Cold Wall, Tommy Hilfiger proving his versatility as an artist and how much more he has to offer.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah I’m fired up I’m so lifted
Rolling off a bean I’m so twisted
Check my energy you can’t match this
I ain’t scared
Saw me on a screen now they think I’m rare
I walked round in the back streets in the East
Bruddas movin fake yeah
Get out my fucking way
I popped E and I spun beats now people think I’m tryna motivate
Touch me let’s get it
I’m jus tryna celebrate
But bring beef I won’t run away
Used to tear the pussy then run away now Woah!
Yeah it’s tunnel vision fuck bitches
Twisted sparked off my stick shift
When my wick lit I fired up my wish list
Misfit turned up on go
Came back hungry I want seconds get it right
Poltergeist yeah I’m present out of sight
Out of mind when I’m geeked up then i shine
If it’s murder do the time
If it’s damage pay the fine
Brudda scratch you off the list get back to business in the shrine
Take a picture UFOtographed an alien in disguise
Superpowers i embodied from my father in his prime
Feel uplifted then I rise
I ain’t tryna swallow my pride
Roll the dice yeah playing with my life yeah
Never hide but I’m missing when I ride yeah
Feel Jekyll tryna run from Mr Hyde yeah
Now that we outside yeah
Now we getting live yeah
In Kasien's song "Wishlist," the lyrics express a sense of confidence, empowerment, and rebellion. The opening lines, "Yeah I’m shooting all of my hit list, Yeah I’m fired up I’m so lifted," convey a feeling of determination and ambition. The singer is motivated and focused on their goals, ready to take on any challenge. The mention of being "twisted" and rolling off a bean refers to being under the influence of drugs, which can intensify the singer's mindset and energy.
The lyrics also touch upon the singer's reputation and image. They mention being seen on a screen, which implies a level of fame or recognition. However, they make it clear that they are not afraid and that their presence is unique and rare. The line "No my gang don’t fuck around tryna catch this heat" suggests that the singer is surrounded by loyal friends or supporters who are equally fearless.
The song further explores themes of rebellion and celebrating one's individuality. The singer asserts their independence and refusal to conform to societal norms, as they rap, "Bruddas movin fake yeah, Get out my fucking way." They find motivation in their own accomplishments, as they reference popping E (ecstasy) and spinning beats, which implies their involvement in the music industry. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a sense of liberation and the desire to live life on their own terms.
