- When did you fall in love with H.E.R.?

I fell in love with H.E.R at some point in the very early 90s. Hell, I probably was born in love with hip hop.

- MC/DJ/Producer/Graff Writer/Bboy ?

I am definitely an MC. Mic Controller, Master of Ceremony.

- Dayjob or no Dayjob?

To get the good music out to the people is my job, whether it’s day or night. Lol.

- 5 All time favorite records?

I’m indecisive when it comes to decisions like this, so I’ll just say these off of the top: “One More Chance remix” by Notorius B.I.G, “Call My Name” by Prince, “C.R.E.A.M” by Wu Tang Clan, “Baby Be Mine” by Michael Jackson, “No More Pain” by Tupac Shakur.
