SoundClick artist: BaTtLe TaCtIcS - Raw hip hop, taking hip hop back to it's origins. I'm here to take it back to the basics...

I started out freestyling back in 1997. I did pety freestyle battles and functions around my area during high school. I stopped with music when I joined the Army in 2000. This music sh*** is my hobby and it just passes time in Iraq.

Why this name?

I've went through numerous names in the past, some that were given to me and some that I thought up, but this name just stuck. This name is me, it's just self representation. Thats how I started out in hip hop was battling...

Do you play live?

I haven't performed live in a few years. I love performing live. There isn't many things that will give you a rush like that...

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

I think web sites like this give people the opportunity to be heard and get their music out to the rest of the world...

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

I would definately sign with a major label.

Your influences?

I'm from the Yay Area... Oakland, Killafornia. I keep it Bay. My recent influences have been Messy Marv, Keak Da Sneak, E-40, Mistah F.A.B., Mac Dre. The list keeps goin' on. There's a lot of talent out there, and I just hope one day I'll get my chance to be out there with them...

Favorite spot?

Yay Area Killafornia... West Oakland... Acorn Projects bay bay!
