So, what are your thoughts on the current state of the game? My current thoughts are scattered. Do to the fact of how much hiphop has changed. Before it was more for everyone of almost all ages now it seem like hiphop is reaching out to the younger generation. To summarize what I ' m trying to say is I see hiphop in a state of good vs bad. Meaning we have artist that make really good music and we have artist that make horrible music that is consider good, due to a well put beat and a catchy hook.
How do you separate yourself from other artists? I separate myself by being versatile. In order to be on top you have to try new things and take risk. When taking those risk as an artist you have to make sure to set a goal and achieve it or atleast meet it. By me being versatile I feel I will achieve many goals I have set, and so far I have.
Who influenced your style? Many different artist have influences on my style. Like Tupac, Biggie, Nas, Jay-z. Kanye West, Lil wayne, Common, R. Kelly, Lauren Hill, Dmx, Michael Jackson. Some newer artist are j. Cole Drake, Big Sean etc. Even some Local artist in Chicago like ChanceTheRapper, Tink, Dreezy, Chief Keef, some I may forget to mention.
Would you become mainstream to make more money? I wouldn ' t mind becoming a mainstream artist for more money. My main intentions toward my music career is to make music people would dance too and enjoy listening too. Other than that a record deal is not really what I am interested in. Like they say " more money more problems." Also Many big name artist don ' t own their masters and most of the money artist receive are split amongst them and others.
Who do you want to work with in the future? I would love to work with Kanye to me he is a music genius. I would love to work with Jay-z and learn the business as well as P. Diddy, But for now I ' d like to work with anyone who would like to work with me.
