When did you know hip hop was for
you?
I heard Nas’s The Message and knew
I wanted to make people feel the way
I did when listening to that song every
time they heard me.
What has hip hop done for you?
With the artist(s) and producer of your
choice, who would you collab with to
make the perfect track?
I feel like Me, Anthony Hamilton, and
the Justice League are a Grammy
Waiting to happen.
It’s given me an outlet to tell my
perspective on situations in an artistic
manor to new people.
What artist(s) have influenced your
music?
The artists who have influenced me
the most are J.Cole, David Hollister,
and King Chip. Whether it’s their stage
presence when performing or their
approach to music in general.
Who are your biggest supporters?
Honestly, my family is my biggest
support, and strangers from
overseas who met me through the
blogsphere.
What is a quote/phrase you go by
“Where you’ve been does not
determine where you will go in life.
It only determines where you have to
start”.
Comin’ from Cali, what are your
thoughts on the Atlanta Hip Hop scene?
Coming from California, the Atlanta
scene has taken some getting used to.
It’s grown on me though. This is the
best place to create and put together
a project or campaign on a realistic
budget. As well as the talent here is
potent enough to see how much you
really match up.
What can we expect from your
upcoming project “Neat”?
What you can expect from Neat is
quality rap and some timeless records
that will survive the test of time.
You had a blues/jazz influence on your
last EP, can we expect more of that on
“Neat”?
There won’t be a jazz influence on
Neat. We went sample heavy on the
last Project and this time around we
kept it a little more modern.
