it kind of came from my friends. they say i'm always straight up with what i say, no bs, all truth. from that i got the truth part and then i just tagged it on. i dropped the spaces and the vowels in my first name for aesthetic reasons. just looks better to me, and it's different. i think different.

my only experience with live performances is poetry circles, and that was usually freestyle/a capella. i'm always on the lookout for a show oppurtunity though.

the internet, to the music industry, is a double-edged sword. on one side, you've got the entire world just a few clicks away from your music. on the other side, over half of that network is jackin your music for free. so it's like "yeah i'm gettin out there!...but i'm still broke". hey, sh*** be like that sometimes.

it really depends on the label. as much as i'd like to get signed, i don't want to be signed with a label notorious for less-than-desirable music. i don't wanna be on labels where all the artists do is just make dance tracks. i'm in it for real hip-hop.

my favorite city has got to be Chicago. that's my 2nd home. 1st is Los Angeles, and 3rd is ATL. i know i'm reppin ATL right now, but that's only cuz i'm stuck here. don't get me wrong, hip-hop breathes in the south, i just need new surroundings.

i was hoping i wouldn't see this question. my "equipment" consists of an HP Photosmart M447 Digital Camera and my desktop computer. my low quality, right now, is my biggest hindrance.
