Music has been in my bloodline for decades . I mainly picked up my muscial intrest from my father who used to be a house party DJ. At a young age I was exposed to hearin' all the old school break beats and a variety of all sorts of rap compilations. I started my own makin' my own songs and writin' my own lyrics at the age of 11, and after seein' there was room for mass improvement , I stop and decided to stop writin' and study rap for a better understanding. While doing this I heard hundreds of different rap songs and rap styles,and even began readin' the dictionary. I realized that most MC were all about flashy cars , money , girls, fame, or frontin' gangsta......and thats all good but its not rap..... . So with knowin' all of this I derived my own style and became what I call a "Battle MC". Which is basically an MC that has the versatility to flow or battle on any level , and still get proper respect. Now 2 years later I have rounded my style to the point where I dont just called myself a rapper, I consider myself more of an artist because I dont just battle and do battle tracks anymore. I write all types of songs ranging from Love to Club Bangers to World Issues....im like the Jordan of Rap...a complete-all round playa.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Im not too worried about my past stuff , im more focused on what im werkin' on for the future....and progressin' to be the best MC in the game
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Iv'e spit at parties and before football and basketball games , but neva "live live". But if the oppurtunity ever emergered......yea I'd spit live.
