BISHOP 3RD000 Being almost 8 years deep in the game, what advice do you have for new artists? Right off the jump, I will tell them not to procrastinate like I did in the beginning. Make sure you have the right type of people in your circle. Make sure you have a team and everyone knows they’re role to ensure you’ll be successful with your career. Also don’t listen to naysayers. I did that alot when I first started and I second guessed myself to the point I pushed music to the side instead of making it a top priority. “If you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything.” -Malcolm X AGE: 31 COMIN’ FROM: LONGVIEW, TX CURRENT PROJECT: “MARSVIEWSTON” BIGGEST INFLUENCE: 2pac, Andre 3000, DMX, Ice Cube, Michael Jackson, Rakim , Notorious B.I.G. , Eminem, Nas , Jay-Z , Parliament Funkadelic, Wu-Tang Clan ACTIVE: 2008-PRESENT
