Sheffield native Toddla T released new single Manabadman on Monday, and it's the most fun you can have with your clothes on while watching something that is seven inches in diameter go round and round. He's also just launched a new internet portal, www.toddlat.com, which the self proclaimed 'bass-heavy wonk'-head promises will be 'a right laugh', with a proper blog, studio pictures and everything.

1. Have you ever said, "I could never work in an office, man"?
I've never said it, but I do think it. I could work in an office, though. Why not? I mean, I worked 9to5 for years when I was still doing music, man. Sometimes you have to, you know what I mean? I worked in a shoe shop for ages, I only quit in January. I do miss it actually, the kids I worked with were a right laugh. But, when I go back in there now, which is quite regular, like, nothing's changed. There's not much progression if you're just like, a sales assistant. I do miss it though, especially when I first left. I didn't wanna leave, man! It was cool.

2. Which leads us handily on to our next question. If your music was a pair of shoes, what shoes would they be?
[Does not hesitate] Air Max Nike!

3. The Collaboration Conundrum. Toddla, who would be the Estelle to your Kanye?
Britney Spears. It would be good though, wouldn'it?

4. You've lost your hearing, limbs and sense of rhythm in a freak dancehall dancefloor accident. What do you do now? [Readers should note that extra points are awarded here for carrying on, in a Diving Bell & the Butterfly stylee.]
What would I do if I couldn't make tunes? Go back to the shoe shop. [laughs] Simple things, eh?

5. The Lipster 'We're serious, yeah?' Political Question. Who should replace Gordon Brown - are you a David Milliband man or a Harriet Harman sort?
I've got absolutely no idea. Who should run the country? [giggles] Ross Orton! [*NB Norton is a fellow noodler and credited with a big old hand in MIA's Galang. So now you know.]

6. What's your studio like? Where do you noodle?
I ain't got a studio anymore. I've got a studio in my bedroom. My bedroom's MASH UP. It's like a big attic with loads of records and a bed and a TV and a ridiculous amount of clothes and trainers and some equipment in the corner. The place I worked on the album was a bit more proper.

We asked Drums of Death this question and he said he had a rug which 'really brought the room together'.Do you have a rug?
I ain't got no rug! I've got a good carpet and an alright sofa. It doesn't look nice. It's not meant to look nice. Does my music sound nice? Nooooo. It sounds good, doesn't it? Exactly. You can't have a clean studio. But I ain't got no rug. Badman ain't got no rug!

7. Sum up your new single in five words.
Buy Me Now. Please. Skint.

You can't be skint! You're BUSY.
I am busy, man. I'm just a bit crap with money.

Maybe you should go back and do a few shifts at the shoe shop?
I might have to, man! Fucking hell.

Thank you very much, Toddla T.
Thanks a lot, yeah? Cheers, bye, bye, bah...
