Some friends of mine started calling me Check and it just kinda stuck.

Just locally.

Depends on what label offered.

Tupac, Nas, DMX, Jay-Z and Method Man are the five emcees that I've admired above all since I was a kid. What influences me to do this myself though is the reaction I get from even just one person after they hear my music. It's the love for the music and wanting to be a part of it, rather than just listening to it.

U-T-I-C-A, NY!! This is where I was born and raised and even if I get signed, this will be where they bury me once I'm gone.
