True art is born of suffering and I have experience with both coming from a poor background in south Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The hard edge in my rap is all from the experiences I had being in the hood and still having the oldest clothes and the dirtiest shoes. Sleeping on shower curtains when there were no beds and sheets, eating off of cardboard boxes when there was no furniture, or not eating at all when there was no food. My rap is my life. And this is going back to Ned Avenue apartment B, off of Gardere Lane. The neighborhood that inspired my first ryhmes and was the backdrop for many of my struggles.Music is a very powerful thing. I understand this better than most because it has changed my life and become an invaluable part of me. My music has the flow and swag of a mainstream artist but the depth and wordplay of an underground king. With a mix of these elements and continuing relevance I know my music can reach and penetrate areas most rappers struggle whole careers to get into. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you enjoy the music!
Why this name?
My brother gave me the name 20 before my first show. He thought my vision as a artist was shaper than average artists. The flows are clear and the ideas lucid. In highschool everybody would always tell me I was could so I decided to put it together.
Do you play live?
I have been in many live shows and I love it. Being up in front of the audience is one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. Overall I have had some great moments in shows freestyle battles and just rhyming with friends but my first show was my most memorable.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It will only broaden the horizon of where the industry will go and it will make sharing music much easier.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If I believed it was the best move to make at the time.
