Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started rapping in '99 locally, just messing around. But, then, I had an idea, to rap for myself. I gained a few friends on the way up, but besides that, I have also made many fans. And, without my fans, I wouldn't sell a single album. I still think that my first true fan, was my boy, Hydrolix. Michael Nicoletta was my manager for a short time. But now, I direct, produce and rap for myself. I produce for other rappers involved in the L.A.D. label. Such as, Nyne, Soulja P and Sketch.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I rap locally at school and at local concerts. I enjoy it very much and hope that I never have to stop. I have only one special moment, and that is my first Blaze Battle against a guy at school. I beat him by a longshot, but, now he is signed to my label.
Your musical influences
My greatest influences are the great rappers, those with the greatest spot for the art. Music is all that matters to me, so I keep my heart and ears open for Nas, Biggie, Tupac, also Nappy Roots, Beanie Sigal, Freeway, DMX, Drag-On, Jamie Madrox. But I also love the white rappers, such as Stagga Lee and Lil' Wyte and many others.
