- 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.
