- I fell in love with with her when hip-hop was about lyrics and what you said made a difference instead of how you clothes looked or any of that other gimmicky stuff. When skills got you on and youhad to be nice with it.

- 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. I don’t necessarily have a top 5 all time, but these songs came to mine the instant you asked.

PROMISE

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

I think i truly fell in love with H.E.R. in the 90s, i’m young i’m an 80s baby so yeah just keepin‘ it real. I wasn’t mad at Lupe when he messed up the Tribe verse cuz he didn’t know it well. Even now i’m not the BIGGEST hip hop head i grew up on funk/soul, etc. My pops was a professional ballroom dancer too.

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

I’m an MC because its what i do best and i LOVE doing it dont get me wrong but i am a producer/songwriter/singer at heart one of my secret passions that i do ALOT.

  • Dayjob or no Dayjob?

I got a dayjob, i create 9-5 (i try to make after that family time now that im married) lol i make music i write songs this is what i do for a living. Occassionally i’ll act but im not tryna be an actor i’d never pass up on music for acting but if im not on a tour or on a stage and my acting agent calls im down its easy money and fun most times

  • 5 All time favorite records?

Lauryn Hill‘s MTV Unplugged & Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Kanye West – College Dropout (although i LOVE 3-5 songs on every album of his except 808&heartbreak)

John Legend – Get Lifted

Common – Be

Usher – Confessions

  • Internet: gift or curse?

If you weigh out pros and cons theres no way you can’t see it as a GIFT. The industry has made artists so unreachable and being an artist so unattainable, the internet has allowed people to dream freely and empowered them to believe.

  • Why should people check you out?

People should check be out because they’ll like me, they’ll like me because i’m real so everyone can relate to me.

  • Inspiration?

I’m inspired by life. Thats why i write it in my music

  • Favorite song you produced/MCd on?:

A crowd favorite has been OUTSIDE prod. AmiR but i think my favorite(s) atleast right now are DADDY’S GIRL & HEARTSTRINGS.

  • Why do you still love H.E.R.?

Because she makes me feel good, she allows me to express all that is in me, my language of love that i love, she makes me smile ?

  • Where can we check you out?
