      All the cryptic surfaces are clean (I giggled at the absurdity and sound of 4A), and I think 6A and 3D are great. 1A is a clever use of slang for "gangster." Surface-wise, I'm not sure what "Siti" is in 7A (a person's name?) and I don't know the intent of 1D. As for 5D, is "of" = O as in, like 1 o'clock? I feel like I'm missing something there. Thanks for the puzzle!

        1: Yes, Siti is a name 2: "Josh kip" sorta sounds like a name, that's what I was going for 3: Yes, O for of :D

        Fun clues! Though, I suppose the definition for 7A points more towards 'IS IT?', than 'IT IS'.
