Your musical influences
I always liked Hip Hop. Growing up i listened to Eric B and Rakim, Notorious B.I.G Kool G Rap, The Fatboys. I was exposed to these artists and more all the time because my father was DJ who used to spin records all the time in his basement. Growing older i listened to Nas, Jay Z, Ludacris, LOX, Beanie Sigel and more. Outside of hip hop I enjoy rock music. Some of my favorite bands are Paramore, Evanescence, and Breakin' Benjamin
