Where in the world are you located?

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK BORN AND RAISED

What was your favorite past time when you were young?

I was always into a variety of things. Basketball, football, anime/manga, video games (First person shooters, sports games, action/adventure, mmorpg etc..)

What was the very first CD you remember acquiring as a kid?

Ready to Die Anniversary edition in 2004 by the Notorious Big. I had damaged my mother's original copy so i bought it to replace it. Then she made me listen to it from start to finish and it became one of my favorite albums of all time.

What was the first concert or performance you ever attended?

Poetry recital with the homies. Seeing how people enjoyed words piqued my interest in the ability to manipulate them from the age of 6 forward.

At what age did you begin to take music seriously?

I wanna say 14 or 15 because that's around when my life changed drastically for the first time and I didn't know how to handle it. 

If you had the chance to play one of your pieces to the ENTIRE world, what song would you choose?

Dear God would probably be my first choice.

Where did you find the inspiration for this particular track and what is the meaning behind the song?

At that time, I felt like questions existed that only God had the answers to. i'm not really a devout religious person. I understand God as like the collective of forces we can;t really explain that decides what goes on. The force behind those unforeseen circumstances that defy all logic and research. So this was essentially a vent pitted in rage and my rawest emotions about a lot of things I was struggling to get a mental grip on. Also the fellow member of our collective WayD blessed this track with one of those classic verses. Great moment in time came from a lot of pain.

What do you think about the state of the music industry today and how would you like to see it change?

I feel like the Radio is becoming obsolete and people are moving more to streaming and cherry picking their favorite songs. Payola is losing it's effect on the younger generation because the charts show people love real music (mostly). The only thing I would change is the ability for people to influence DJs with cash into playing whatever record has the most money behind it as opposed to actually bumping what they like like the rest of us do and mixing the records and just having genuine fun with it.

What is one issue in the world that you would like to see change in your lifetime?

The disenfranchisement of minority peoples across the world needs to end. Like yesterday I'm truly sick of it. 

What current projects are buzzing and what future projects do we have to look forward to from you?

Nothing is buzzing at the moment. I feel like I fell off but if you feel otherwise you can check out "That one kid who Raps" and the singles from my upcoming "Boondocks Tape. The comeback will be tremendous as ever.

Is there anything else you would like the world to know about you?

Imma put all that in the music. I like talking but i really love rapping. I'm free to have no chill on record and you kinda have to chill in public sometimes.
