Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Been writing and rapping my own lyrics since I can remember.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have only performed live twice. The first time with my partner M-Dot, and the second with a music group we formed called BTU(Better Than U). Both times were in Germany. I love every moment of performing. Every moment when I'm in front of an audience is special to me. But there was this one time during the second performance, on a song titled 'Bank Rolls' where I said "I walk in the bank, all the tellers be frowning and, snitching to their manager, 'Kills S on some clownin sh*t, don't let him touch the atm, he will shut it down' cause I'm punching out numbers like Rhiana, I'm Chris Brown'in it." Only one person was actually listening to my lyrics instead of the beat. I know this because he was sitting in the front row and as soon as I said that, his eyes got wide, he sat up in his seat looked at the person next to him and yelled out "ooooh".
Your musical influences
Everytime I open my eyes from a blink, or hear a Nat buzzing in my ear, I get inspired.
What equipment do you use?
Most of the time, my iPod touch but I still like the old fashioned pen and pad. Sometimes I don't even write things down.
