How did you find your sound in both producing and rapping ?
What made you decide to step into the spotlight as far as rapping goes ?

A-V AVOLANCHE

When I was a kid , the first group that really truly made me fall in love with hip hop was OutKast ! Even back home in Toronto their influence was felt and they were legends man . Dre & Big showed lyrical prowess and creativity that could never ever be duplicated ! One of the first naked girls I ever saw was on an Outkast CD , don ’ t tell my Mom that tho ’.

How did you find your sound in both producing and rapping ?

That took a while can ’ t even lie ! A lot of experimenting , practicing and improving went into both my production and my raps ! Eventually I just stopped thinking about it so much , and I got to a point where I started creating music that I loved , and stopped worrying about following whatever wave was poppin ’ at the time . It just started to flow . I love beautiful melody ’ s , 808s , and raps that come from the heart .

What made you decide to step into the spotlight as far as rapping goes ?

At first it was in the spirit of competition ! When I first started writing I was in a group with my bro Laty D and me and him felt like we had something to prove , not only to our peers who were making music , but to the entire industry . Real rap lives in Atlanta . I felt I was already writing way better then average for a beginner , so I worked at it and so did he . We really built a solid fan base out of no where ! We ’ re both on our solo grinds now , but we take from everything we ’ ve learned in the past 6 years and put it in our music .
