I've always been into any form of art. I won nearly all my talent shows, art shows, and soon picked up the nickname Artiste and stuck with it.

Yes. Anywhere I can. I love performing. My first live solo performance @ Club Total in Jackson, MS.

I think the internet/mp3 is revolutionizing the music industry. If more labels accept it, they can start to insanely capitalize off it. In todays society, people are more likely to purchase online than go to the store.

Yes I would if the opportunity presented itself, but my main focus is to get my craft heard and respected.

Whats the business, I started rappin when I was about 5 years old. Me and one of my boys saw what had to be the blackest person ever, and made a song about him. lmao. Every since then, I've been writing and producing. I have a record label I am working on (RaR Production/ Ent.) I was Born Feb 5, 1983 in Kankakee, IL (killa Keyz), and raised in Jackson, MS. My father had a growing singing career that inspired me to become more and more interested in music. I initially wanted to sing, but that just wasn't enough for me. That is when the "black" song came up. After my rediculously elementary verse lol, I knew that rapping was my calling. I have a few artists under my production: Caseeno (shouts to philly), Sean Deaz and Cashdro (San Diego holla back), UNieq (Jacktown, MS), Water ( Killa Keyz), Roc Hard (Jacktown, MS) Del (Hell everywhere!), Peaches (Greenville, MS), and Adreanna (Jacktown). Thats a lil about ya boi. Get at me for tha features, or anything about the business. Holla. www.myspace.com/artiste06
