What would you say has been the best or most memorable moment in your career so far?

Wow i have many lol. Performing In North Carolina for a Dope Souf event, and everytime i see the love and support of my fan cause thats a blessing. For someone, anyone to take the time out to actually listen is nothing less than a blessing.

3. I sometimes come up with rhymes while sleep

4. Ellen, and Steve Harvey are two of my many inspirations

5. Im afraid of being near high levels of water such as beaches, ponds, etc

What makes you more unique than other artists?

What makes me more unique is my sound, the content i choose to write about, and the flow patterns I use.

What's one trait about yourself that you don't like?

That I have a gap in my teeth lol.

Who's someone you would like to work with in the industry, and why?

I would like to work with Common because he's just sonically that guy. Gotta love Common. That Nobody's smiling is a classic by the way.

Who were some of your biggest influences that are in the same field you are in?

Common, Lauryn Hill, Kanye West, Mos Def, Tupac, and Krs One.

Compare yourself to some one that is more established, who would that be and why?

I would say Its a cross between Krs one and Common because im socially aware, but still provide that raw cutting edge within the hip hop culture.

What made you want to get into the business?

The love for music and seeing how it can effect ones psyche. I enjoy knowing that I've created something that can spark the mind, as well as the emotion of a human being. Its a beautiful thing. I just wish more artist nowadays would take responsibility and use the voice and blessings god provided them with for good and inspire because music plays a great deal within civilization.
