Klass Test Klass Test spoke about how he performed with a live band during the Mentor X Bootcamp. He revealed that as a profound moment in his career and was looking forward to learning from the judges, music gurus and his fellow contestants.
“When it comes to school, it’s the lecturer that teaches us. But as for rap, I write my own lyrics. So the feeling is different. Someone showing you the way is different from doing it on your own. And so when I am doing something on my own, I can do it more, you understand. So I feel I can excel in music.
“I am not here to win, but if I win, cool. I am here to learn. There are a lot of reality shows, and everyone cannot make it through. If you work hard to get inside, you meet so many people and form sustainable relationships. So I am not here purposely for the title. I am here to learn.”

“I am not here to joke. If out of over 1,000 people, I have been selected among the top 16. Nobody believed I could make it, so I am not here to play.
