Name is Hanstead that the name my mother gave me and thats the name i go by. Gone through a few names, still use them to a degree, but mainly just straight myself now. I'm all about realness, real to me doesn't mean you bust guns, empty clips, it means your real to yourself and your routes. If ya a f***ing computer nerd and ya admit it thats real. If your a straight out strapped gangsta and ya admit it thats real. Feel me?

Why this name?

Name my mother gave me

Do you play live?

Nah man, just starting up, maybe in the future

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Gives everyone a chance ya no? Everyone can get there name out there, anyone can be global even if its just to kids on the net. Ya gotta respect that, ya gotta respec that hype. Making change, cause now a cat with a mic and a computer can get noticed and not just a f***er with paper and a deal ya get?

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Hell f***ing yeah. Everyone needs to eat.

Your influences?

ALot of different people i got love for and i've got alot of f***ers who influence me, ranging from Tupac to NWA, from Obie to eminem to the game, to the underground like Royce or Immortal Technique. Ya gotta love anyone thats got skill. Even cats from here like Arrow ya gotta love anyone whos got game

Favorite spot?

Ya gotta love the clubs man, ya no, get drink on and freak on what ever the f*** ya wanna do.

Equipment used:

Tell the truth, right now i'm trying what ever the f*** i can get my hands on

Anything else...?

I'm not that great now, but watch this space. My production might not be there, but listen to the lyrics, thats some lyrical shit, trust me/
