JP: You produce as well as rap--which one came first? STI: I actually starting making beats before rhyming. I would always listen to instrumentals from the 60s(oldies). My pops would always jam to that station. So I started creating my own tunes self taught. JP: Who are some of your influences? STI: My biggest influences have to be my parents and the fans first off. They support my music 110 %. With out them I would not be where I am today. Music influences have to be the real hip hop artist keeping the passion alive when it comes to making music. I look up to that. JP: If you could share the stage with any one artist, who would it be-dead or alive? STI: I would have to rock the stage with snoop dog. We would put on a badass show.
