In the interview with TV3, Black Sherif spoke about his hometown and its contributions to his successful career.

In the kind of community I was born into, the first survival thing that comes to mind is being a rebel. Not a rebel who pulls out knives, but not going the conventional way.

According to him, he has always taken risks with the mindset that failure is inevitable.

I have nothing to lose. It's zero. So if I get one and come back, it's zero. I don't run into negatives. So I take risks in everything. The beat that you will reject is what I will use for my song. I just keep taking risks and being a rebel with my songs.
