Do you play live?
I play live as requested, I have a young family and travel and do shows only for the fans...any interest than holla at me through contact info.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I believe the I-Net has allowed music to set the standards again for radioplay and fan support. It has reigned in the industries that have for so long chained up and pre-packaged this product marketed as Hip Hop.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I would sign the right deal, because at age 29 I have over 10 years experience and over 600 tracks already produced and recorded. I also have a small studio already running in my home and feature several artists who would come along with any deal through me.
Band History:
10 YEARS OF HIP HOP ON THE NET AND IN THE MUSIC WORLD - FROM MAINE WITH A SHORT STINT IN PITTSBURGH - I HAVE AND DO BATTLE, FREESTYLE, PRODUCE, MIX, AND I WRITE ALL MY OWN MATERIAL...PEACE AND RESPECT..ill
Your influences?
sounds like:
New School Hip Hop
a la Kanye West, Talib K, Aesop Rock, etc
A little like Hyphy, the sound from cali, specifically the bay area
A little spoken word
Alittle freestyle and battle experience as I've won 100's of text battles as MOJO and come in 2nd and 3rd in two emcee battles in the past 3 years.
