SMM : How does it feel when you're name is one of the top 50 indie artist by coast2coast 2years in a row?

CEE Nyle : I must say I am very humbled by it... I would have never imagined being 1 of the most recognized indie artists at coast2coast... I used 2 sit in prison dreaming about my talent being recognized on a higher platform, but most importantly for the art in itself 2 serve its sole purpose which is 2 touch the hearts & souls of people around the world... On that note, i would like 2 thank Coast2Coast C.E.O @LilFatsC2C for continuously allotting me that opportunity

SMM : How did you get involved in season 1of 32 bars Takeoff?

CEE NYLE : Dre Jenkins (D2R Filmz) & I have always had a pretty solid relationship, but most importantly we have always had a vision... I was actually out of town doing a show in Orlando when i was tagged in a post by him stating that he wanted 2 shoot a free visual of us taking

off on an industry beat... Before i even responded 2 the post i headed back home, went straight the studio, dropped the freestyle, & emailed it 2 him... Before i knew it i received a phone call from him telling me how much he loved it & he was ready 2 shoot the footage... Once the visual was released we both took off from there & the rest is history... Big s/o Dre Jenkins & the whole D2R Filmz family...
