The school teacher, who managed to last 40 hours rapping, says he is proud to be the new world record holder.

Daniel Alcon from Wimbledon, South East London, set the record for the longest freestyle rap marathon last month.

The teacher, who is 35 years old and lives in Valencia, Spain, succeeded on the second attempt after he failed a year earlier.

He did not sleep for two nights to achieve this achievement, and in the meantime, the Guinness Book of Records recognized his result.

His motivation was to get more word out about the organization Key Changes (Key Changes), designed for musicians facing mental health challenges.

"Relief is the key word"

Last year, he was an hour short of setting the record, so Akon was determined to succeed in his second attempt.

"I am very proud. I already tried once, but it didn't work and it hurt me a lot.

"I can't believe I did it again, I decided to give it another try and feel relief, that's the right word," Alkon explained.

Witnesses were on the scene to make sure the teacher followed the strict rules, which meant he was entitled to a five-minute break every hour and another 30 seconds to catch his breath between rapping sections.

"I got the most tired with the first song, I wasn't inspired then.

"Before the challenge started I was nervous, but when it started I was a bit like a machine and I was like, 'let's get started,'" says Alkon.
