Por las buenas y las duras siempre soy from Honduras!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Well, me as an artist go back jus 2 years. Im relativly nu 2 tha sho part and ca$h part of bein a rappa, but ma rhymes, anh man der off tha chain. I strated ma own compnya kalled Brilliant Muzik, pronounced ina patois accent. We were 9 rappas in total but we gentley drifted away. So now im werking alone but always maintain kontakts wit ppl down here. This all started wen i continuely herd mainstream hip-hop here (thats all tha hip-hop that kan be herd here besides latin hip-hop which is usually mexikan or boricua) and i told ma self i was tired of always hearin tha same rhymes, tha same beats, tha same representations (i.e Purto Rico, NYC)so i started rytin and mekin muzik at a Sophyspahunk level and now ive achieved a certain level of respekt in tha undaground world down here in Managua.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes i hav rapped liv. I hav rapped everywer from ma skool,, to concerts down here, and even on tha beach, but im a street preforma, so anytime u catch me ill prefrom somthin
