Anzzia Magazine Fall 2019 Volume #32 | Page 40

Anzzia: What are your favorite venues to perform in?


Spitter: I don't have any particular venues that I favor over others. If people are wantin' to listen and hear my message. It can be a Burger King or Madison Square Garden, makes no difference to me!

Anzzia: Who would you like to collaborate with?

Spitter: I would love to do a project with Lil’ Wayne, tho’ for real.

Anzzia: 'What do you enjoy most about being a musician? What do you hate most?'


Spitter: I just get high on getting all over a beat, and workin' that. If I could make a person feel something in the first 15 seconds, that's just a great feeling. Other rappers don't like to give props too much. There is a lot of competition, but at the end of the day, we are all really after the same things. You can either stay positive or give up. Staying positive is just the logical way to be.

Anzzia: How do you seek out opportunities?


Spitter:
I don't force it, but I keep my eyes open. Work hard, and try to make my own opportunities.

Anzzia: Do you have anyone that you consider your mentor? How has their help or advice shaped you?


Spitter: My producer and manager for sure. Travis has been through all this, all the way up to to the highest level. He’s got my back. Also, my grandmother because she raised me right, and really wanted me to succeed.

Anzzia: What is one experience in life that, without it, you wouldn’t be the artist you are today?


Spitter: Going into the studio, seriously, for the first time was like a drug for me. That was my turning point because it made me want to get better and better.

Anzzia: What does your work aim to say?


Spitter: I always want to tell a story, and keep the audience engaged. I want people to hear me and say, “Hey, that’s Spitter.” It’s like I never want to take ‘em out of the moment. To me, that’s real...

Anzzia: 'What's the biggest problem you've had to overcome so far?'


Spitter: When I was young I was abused by a woman for 4 years. My life was a living hell, but I made up my mind that she wasn’t going to break me. She got hers though. Karma is real, but I turned a bad situation around as best I could writing lyrics at a young age. Listen to my song, “Not Dyin’” cuz it gives you a little background of my earliest memories.

Anzzia: Tell me about the first song you ever made. Was it a success or a failure in your opinion?


Spitter: I did my own take on Shotta Flow by NLE Choppa. I wouldn’t say it was a failure, it just motivated me to constantly improve.

Anzzia: What haven’t you attempted yet that you hope to?


Spitter: I look forward to sold-out arenas and have people chanting my name. It's not an
