Why this name?
Rip Came from the original Rip Hamilton the Detriot Piston Basketball Player. I was called Lil Rip Due to the fact that i played similar to him when i played basketball. The name Rip just stuck as my rap name.
Do you play live?
I Live in Providence RI. RI isnt really much of a Big Music State so im trying to change that with my music. My Special Moment would have to be the 1st time i actually rapped in Public to my peers they were surprised
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
mp3 has changed the music industry due to the fact that Record sales has been declining because of the fact that people could get mp3 for free from different software or website on the internet.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes but depending on the situation.
Your influences?
My Music Influences Would have to start with LL Cool J just to the fact that his swagger and style attracted the females with thats who i like to approach in most of my music. Another Influence is the Clipse because the wordplay and lyrics they bring to the table is something out of this world and i try to bring into my music
