What do you think makes you stand out from all the other aspiring and upcoming artists in your genre of music?

Unlike most artist coming up I have multiple styles to give the audience and a lot of things I very skillfully as a hip hop artist put into my creation that most new artist would not think about trying because they do not have the love I have for the music I create, this way my music never sound the same

If you could collaborate with ANY artist/band… Who would you choose and why?

I have allways wanted to do a song with J Cole or Kendrick Lamar.Those two artist are my favorite artist It was a lot people thinking Kendrick was not going to make it and his music career but he surprise the world and that why he a big Influencer to me

What do you think is your biggest Advantage and your biggest Disadvantage about being an Indie artist?

The advantage of being a Indie artist is that I have control of my whole career and i can make the music the world want to hear and I can be myself when they listen to my music and the disadvantage is that I wont get as much exposure I need but it help me grow as a artist because in this business there are a lot of let down but I will keep pursuing my love

Do you prefer the Independent route or would you rather sign to a major record label, and why?

I prefer the Independent route because I can decide my own faith anybody that know this business know that major record labels dont want you to make your music they want you to make there music that why a lot of artist be unhappy with there realeases

Out of all the songs you’ve released, what do you think is your Best song and why?

The best song I ever realease is 6 feet deep a new release of mines off the new album because how the song expressess my Enviroment I live in today and communities all across the nation and touching on the up and down and tribulation that we deal with on a daily base the song kinda put you in the mind of marvin gay song what going on back then that was a hit and i hope this song can be like a modern marvin gay song it just the Idea of dealing with the pain we go threw that we all share and we can get threw anything as long as we stick together Its a very Influentual song and also of the memories that song holds and i believe a lot of people can relate to it I can not say this enoug but thank to all my fines I love you guys

I like the streaming wave because it gives artist the chance to reach a larger audience than ever before

Between creating in the studio OR performing live on stage, which is your most enjoyable one and why?

I like performing live because I like going off of the crowd energy being there with the people who made me what I am today a artist who give the fan there money worth and actually appreciate them I feel its a better connection with the fans Thank you all

During your entire journey through the music business, what would you consider your Worst experience?

My worst experience so far is dealing with a bad promoter that ripped me off.I am glad it happended because it was a learning experience well learned and a lesson learned Is a lesson taught

What would you consider your most successful or proudest moment in your music career, so far?

when I heard a fan say my music really saved their life.I feel that more rewarding than anything because it shows that I get to help people through something I love

If any, what discourages you the Most about music industry these days?

The only thing that would discourage me would be peopel wanting me to change who I am or be something Im not the music business will allways be the same that why I am Indie artist

What inspires you the Most about the music industry these days?

certain artist and music that I hear everyday inspires me to just be myself and make more quality music and let all artist know that I am hear to stay and want stop untill I reach the top

If you wasn’t in the music business or industry, what do you think you would be doing with your life instead?

It hard to tell because music is the only thing I have really been pasionate about because to me It music or nothing there is not enough artist that care enough about the music they make that why i make all my music with a unique style and quality

In your own opinion, What is the current music scene like in your local area?
