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

Internet: gift or curse?
- The intenet is Def a gift because it puts the artist in control and its really up to you whether you blow or not of course the machine takes you take the next level but this is where the ground work begins.
Biggest accomplishment:
- My biggest accompishment would have been receving my first royalty chck after I had first started putting out records
Why should people check you out?
- People should check me out because I have alot to bring to the table I’m very versatile and my new single is just the tip of the iceburg I have so much I want to share with the world. People tend tolabel hip-hop alot of times but dope music is dope music whether its undergrond or whats now preceived a mainstream. When you think about what is underground somebody thats not unknown to the general public somewhere along the lines its turned in a catagory instead of just hip-hop music. So thats why they should listen i’m sure i’m goin to have some stuff on my album people aren’t expecting
Inspiration?
- My inspiration is this next generation of talent thats up and coming they truly keep me on my toes because lets be honest whether you like it or not it is the future of this culture so we can either embrace it or complain about it. I appreciate I don’t hate and just want to see the music always moving forward.
Favorite song you produced/MCd on?:
- My favorite song probably would have to be a song from a vinyl EP I put out in 02 called insane asylum people that have heard it said i went crazy on that record.
Why do you still love H.E.R.?
- I will always love this music I just love that its so many different types of hip-hop and we have a choice. I love the way this music makes me feel and its nothing better then hearing somebody body a beat.
