Native Music
“I would say just being a listener and seeing others out
there who were “wacker” than me. So I thought, what
the heck, I can do this too. Also, I’d say music is a big
influence on everybody, so you can use it to make a
positive impact on people.”
RH: Do you write your own music?
“No way, I have 5 Ghost writers: Sabatage, Redcloud,
Maniac, Night Shield, and Tactile (kidding). Yes I do.”
RH: Who or what inspires the writing or your music
(lyrics)?
“It’s usually the beat that gets me going and gets me
writing, but I pray before every song. So, who better
than God to help you write a song to reach the nations.”
RH: Tell me about your first performance.
“Awww man. It was in Hartford Conn. at the
Schemitzun powwow. I was supposed to bust something
out there with this dude and I was freakin’ nervous.
I was so nervous I was up in my room practicing my
little cheap rap and I couldn’t spit it right because my
nervousness was messing up my breath control, so I
thought I was gonna flop out big time! So finally it came
time to do it and I just said a quick prayer took an extra
long breath and busted it out. It ended up going pretty
smooth, even though I was pretty cheap.”
RH: What is your favorite kind of music? Why?
“It’s got to be hiphop. Thats my sound right there, my favorite anyway. I also be bumping some roundance and
powwow of course and some “ol skool” joints that just
take you back, you know. I even jam to some country,
it’s just like rap, I swear, same type of music for reals.
RH: What do you think is the difference between a
Native female and a male artist?
“One’s a man and the other’s a woman. One has boobs
and the other has a......you know. Just clowning. There
are definately more male artists then female as far as I
know, in Native HipHop and contemporary music. So
that should encourage the females to get out there and
make things happen, because there isn’t too much
