How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Mp3's have helped unknown cats wit no money to work hard to get some exposure.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I would sign to a major label deal if I get to create my Artistic creativity, and their is right promotion. Being exploited is not anything I am lookign forward too.
Band History:
I started out djing when I was seven. I used to help clean up my moms nightclub and as a reward the club dj taught me to spin. After than I used to tag along with my mom when she used to promote concert, then manage hip hop acts to owning her own hip hop label. I was brought up in the studio and learned production when I was 13 then starting spitting when I was 14 with bus ride cyphas and all that. Starting doing tracks when I was 16 and been doing tracks and shows ever since.
Your influences?
My musical influences range all over the place. I like to keep some of the characteristics of the Cali underground. Such cats as Rasco, Planet Asia. But at the same time I am an energetic cat so I look to artist like Petey Pablo, MOP, PAstor Troy for the energy aspect. I try to combine my influences to create a new sound that is hype and at the same time intellectual.
Favorite spot?
The Cypher At Hot Monkey Love Cafe 5690 El Cajon Blvd, San Diego California, Every Tues Starting at 9 pm.
