Local- MC Speas, really just to test my skills. He always comes up with something unique and differnt, so I would love to work him. Plus the dude is just fearless.

Filthy Finesse- His vibe is just amazing on and off stage.

Journailism- Call me crazy but I would have to say Oprah. She's worth 2.9 billion the last time checked. She did it without having the things society says it takes in order to successful. So that would be a great learning expierence, and I probably would ask a lot of questions.

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

Tupac, Biggie, Lil Wayne, Pimp C, Kevin Gates, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye, Jay-Z, DMX, Micheal Jackson, and Prince. All of these are in my playlist at all times.

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

I really can't compare myself to anybody. You don't hear the same thing everytime, when you hear my music. You might here a party track. You may hear a trap track, you may hear something that sounds like NY, you may something that sounds like it was from Cali. You are surely going to hear a southern flavor. So to compare myself to somebody would be kinda impossible, and hard.

What made you want to get into the business?

A long story short, Pastor Mack Timberlake Jr, once said "Anything that you would do for free is what you need to be doing in life." That quote has stuck with me from childhood until now. Laugh if you want, but watching the audio visual team at church, the music, and watching my uncle write the theme song for when the church had their own tv show, laid the foundation. Music and Journalism have always been my first love, and I really owe that to the church. Between my mother and grandmother I was in church all the time. At one point I've tried to stop doing music and journalism, and I realized I wasn't happy. I didn't feel like a complete person. So I decided to go at both with full force.

What is the most difficult thing you have had to endure in life or in the industry?

Life- I can say the hardest thing is being able to balance work and life. I can say that has been the biggest challenge, but I've been getting better with it. What people don't know is that I'm very dedicated to everything I do.
