Q: Tell us some of the songs you have collaborated with other well-known artists on. A: I have been on songs with Layzie Bone (Bone Thugs N Harmony), Spectacular (Pretty Ricky), Spice 1, TWIZTID, Da Mafia 6ix (Three 6 Mafia), R.A. The Rugged Man, Chris Webby, Kung Fu Vampire, Cryptic Wisdom and the list really goes on, but it’s not about having a big name on your tracks it’s about having quality tracks that people will bump for a while... having another dope artist is just a bonus!  Q: We noticed you have participated in givin g back to your hometown. Are there any plans in the future to utilize your music in ways to help reconstruct the city of Philadelphia? A: When I have more time and money and get to a position where I can set something up I’d really like to start a charity! I know people say I could do it now, but I want to do it big and I want to do it right! Hip Hop is generally associated with negative things.. but it’s not all guns and jewelry it can help people too. Q: Tell us about your anti-bullying album. A: I was asked a few years ago to be on an anti-bullying album and I was kind of hesitant because I’m always so busy working on my own projects, but the producers told me it was for charity for kids and I really couldn’t turn that down. I don’t make kid’s music, but it’s important to be versatile and be able to tackle a lot of different genres musically. It also feels awesome to help out like that. I’ve never been rich so I could never really donate money to charity so if I can donate my time and talent that’s really a dope thing! Q: What was it like being on tour with the likes of Twiztid, R.A. The Rugged Man, Potluck, etc? A: Unreal! This was really my first year touring nationally. I’ve always done spot dates around the country, but to now be on full tours I’m in my glory! I love touring because I love performing the most. Some rappers love the studio I love the stage. Q: Do you plan on having your own tour any time soon? A: Yes, my next tour will be in May 2014 with Cryptic Wisdom! Final dates will be announced soon!!
