4. So, what are your thoughts on the current state of the game?

In my point of view, the so called“ game” is as strong as it has never been before. I believe that there are less limits in mixing sounds and expressing one ' s thoughts. There is less“ beef”, hate and more room for different collaborations, respect and appreciation. The art form of hiphop, was able to get rid of negative prejudices that were attached. Hiphop music found it ' s way to become one of the most important genres, when it comes to popular music.

Great artists selling out huge shows and festivals. Young people and even generations above, are listening to dope beats in their cars and prefer to go to clubs that play black music. Today you can find so many different interpretations of hiphop, which implies that gangster rap and conscious rap gained new sisters and brothers. Black sheep will always be found, in every matter of live, but I love the current state of the game.

5. How do you separate yourself from other artists?

I believe the most obvious way in which I differ from other artists, is the fact that I don ' t express my art rapping in mother language.

That means people may notice that I ' m not American at some point, as well as the use of terms that might be different from what they are used to hear. My producers, The Titans, also support an American rapper. He said that the way I built my sentences and use words is correct but nobody he knows would say it like that, but he considered it rather interesting than negative. The next point I would name is the music that underline my rhymes. Having Tobi Tan and Increez as my producers, I ' m equipped with an distinctively European sound. For example the song“ STIUTK”, which can be found on my soundcloud profile, doesn ' t appear American to me and presents the music culture over here. Another point is the undeniable fact that we are all individuals. By having the main goal to work with my personal potential and intimate thoughts, opinions, feelings and stories, I should ' ve already excluded that there is another musician just like me. As a fact, claiming this, is without judging or me putting my artistry above others. This is something that audiences are supposed to decide on.
