Spliff notes "My mom was into 80's hairband metal shit like Motley Crue, Guns & Roses, Metallica, etc. and the grunge era was big back then so (Kurt Kobain) was a major influence with the rest. But my dad is what got me into the hippie shit. Led Zep, Pink Floyd, The Who. This is stuff i remember hearing as far back as i can make my mind remember, but everybody i went to school with, even my cousins were way into that rap shit, so i guess thats what got me to start freestyling when i was like 9 or 10" by the time spliff was the age of 9 , Korn, Limp Bizkit, Eminem & Kid Rock were all setting a tone and paving a way for emcees like spliff with "Rap-metal"(Rap fused with hard guitar riffs and sometimes even live drums) but spliff was still into the underground and origionaters of that particular style; Esham "The Unholy"(& NATAS) who pioneered the style back in 89' in Detroit and dubbed the style "acid-rap",which is more of a hallucinogenic version of the rock/rap fusion. Spliff emulates this into his raps and music to this day and pays homage to the origionals who really paved the way.
