Why this name?

origanly nammed Hitman by the streets because I was sicked on opponets in rap battles, and paid for it, i was convinced it was a cliche. So i had to come up with something jest as diverse as my flow. Nasty yet Lyrical, Hood but Concious, Hard and real, Gangsta slash Comercial. I had the Finesse of the best, but grimier than the rest, thus came ... Filthy Finesse

Do you play live?

All the time, at clubs, lounges, parties, concerts, universities, tours ect. ... i do at the least 3 shows a month all over the east coast and south, its how i eat. I'm willing to travel anywhere tho. for booking, contact nj.bridges@hotmail.com

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

it makes it possible for unfound talent with out a million dollar marketing team to get out and get exposure, and honest opinions about their music and mold them into real artists/performers or tell them to consider a career change.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

yeah, i guess ... a 'pass-through' distribution deal definetly, w/ Roc Nation, CTE or Maybach Music (all Def Jam), i like KOCH too ... I like the freedom of being independent BUT having a major label backing you! ...
