Aight aight aight... it's for real now... I'm back... and actually doin sh*** now. The new CD, "Road to Riches" is gonna be out soon... real soon. And the new single's up NOW!!!! check it out... NOW
Why this name?
It's a name that PineZALL gave me when we first started in 9th grade, at first it wasn't that serious, but it stuck, and now it's become one of the names I'm known by the most.
Do you play live?
Aight aside from performing at that cedar beach concert... me and Dirty Harry performed at our school talent show senior year and got a huge reaction. also Me and Pine performed at a bar. This winter we're gonna be lookin to perform at clubs and stuff.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think, as most people say it's really great for people like me who wanna get our stuff out and get known, as far as I got it's helped me out a lot, a lot more people have heard my stuff because of it.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
That's not even a question to me. For a long time my dream was to be a basketball player, til I got involved with this rap game, my hoop dreams diminished and I fell in love with rap, and just about all me and Dirty Harry do these days has somethin to do with rap. So whether or not my time to get signed is right now, I dunno. But hopefully as my skills prgress and I truely master my game, I'll start sendin my stuff to labels, and they'll look beyond what I look like and notice skills. So yea, I'd sign.
Your influences?
Well, contrary to what Dirty Harry thinks, I believe that Tupac and Biggie are the 2 best of all time. I havent heard quite as much of Pac as I had of Biggie, but I know they were both talented ass rappers. Both were so much ahead of their time it made them stand out incredibly. Even if there is possibly a rapper or two that are better than them today, I believe that if they had as much time to progress as they could have had, they would blow everyone out of the water, especially Big. They changed the came and it will never go back. Another influence is of course Eminem. Not only is he the mosted talented emcee out right now, but he opens up doors for whites like myself to rap. His life story combined with his genius lyrics make him one of my biggest inspirations. Another inspiration is my favorite rapper Jay-Z. His style, flow, and lyrics can give me chills. He works with music like a tool, and consistantly keeps putting out hits and albums year after year, and he has been around for so long, and unlike other artists who have been around for a while, he constantly changes his style to keep people with a new sound. 50 cent, despite the fact that I think he is far from one of the best rappers around, I think his story inspires people to love hip hop. The person that I most base my style on is Fabolous. He is bringing a new school flavor to his songs and has hot metaphores and I think he is a big help to opening new doors and keeping hip hop alive, and over the years I think he will be known as one of the top rappers in the game. Also the way Nas can tell a story, and flow his words and convey his messages is like no other, although my style is far from his, he inspires me. And last but not least, Cide and Dirty Harry are my inspirations. Two people my age who I know that make hotter records than half of the rap industry. They both supply competition that I must rise up to in order to keep my game at the top notch.
Equipment used:
There's la studia at Dirty Harry's house with his condenser mic and mixer, and at my house I just use a cheap mic hooked up to the comp and record on Acid. Nothin special but it sounds pretty good surprisingly
Anything else...?
Basically, I don't got that much more to say, I got a pretty lot out on the other topics but basically, I just gotta shout all my people Dirty Harry, PineZALL, Cide, Gyro, MC Scales, Dr. UnorthaDOX, Maur, Clev Corleon, $ector, and i*Kon. And of course all my non rappin people, Wes, Ryan, Frank, and whoever else. But I just wanna let everyone else know, if you're a hater, if you're someone who just disrespects me behind my back, if you think you're too good for me, or if you think anything negative about me, then I dont give a f*** about you, you dont f***in matter. So hopefully one day I'll be a successful ass dude, and whether you got your success, or you're a dirt bag, just get your head out your ass and recognize what type of person I am, or either no one is gonna like you, or you're gonna lead a fake ass life.
Peace
