U Heard It Here 1st July 2014 | Page 45

UHIH1:

Any advise you can give for aspiring artist trying to break onto the scene?

CC:

Yea man, just be yourself don't follow anyone else. You gotta be hungry and you gotta want it like you want your next breath. Keep pushing through adversity and if you feel you have what it takes don't give up until you make it because it will happen if you want it to. Your the only person stopping yourself.

UHIH1:

What artist do you currently listen to?

CC:

I'm listening to a lot right now, but more lately I've been fuckin with Rittz from Strange Music. Dude's insane!

UHIH1:

When and where can fans expect to see you performing in the future?

CC:

Hopefully very soon haha. And I've been trying to go out of state to hit up other clubs and stuff like that so as of RIGHT NOW they can expect me in Charlotte soon. I don't know when yet.

UHIH1:

Who can we expect to see on your debut album?

CC:

I mean obviously I would hope for big artists but I'm not in that position YET. So in the meantime you'll see me work with a few artists in my camp. One of the homies Sam Carcuss is going to make a few appearences.

UHIH1:

Any celeb crushes.

CC:

YES! Haha Kim Kardashian! And a few others but I can't think of them off top.

UHIH1:

Any other loves other than music?

CC:

Before I did music I wanted to do football but I didn't care about school so obviously that really affected it. But I loved music all my life so it's always been there.

UHIH1:

What was the best advice you ever received?

CC:

I've never talked to anybody. Ever, so nobody told me anything. Nah just kidding, but the best advice I've ever gotten was a quote from 'Pursuit of Happyness' and it said "You got a dream...you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you wan't something go get it, Period." That shit is so inspirational to this day

UHIH1:

Can you remember the first song you ever wrote?

CC:

I don't know about the first song I wrote but I remember the first rap I wrote when I was 14 but I only remember a few bars. It was like "You got to be kidding, I'm just pondering and sitting, wondering whats killing, is it my mind or just numb feeling, no kidding, I feel like jumping on that trampoline and hitting the ceiling." Haha it was whack, but that was my first one!

UHIH1:

What did your family do to encourage you?

CC:

My family didn't really do anything to encourage me. Everybody pretty much put me down, except for my sister and my Uncle Kaki. The only thing everyone else fuel enough hatred emotion to make more songs.

UHIH1:

What songs might I find on your MP3 player?

CC:

Porn soundtracks. Haha that was uncalled for, nah but you'll find a lot of Eminem, Hopsin, Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler the creator, Asher Roth, Machine Gun Kelly, Ludacris, Kendrick Lamar, 50 cent, Danny Brown, and a lot of other artists.

UHIH1:

Where would you most like to perform?

CC:

Every artist's main instinct is somewhere huge like Madison Square Garden and obviously I would love to do that too, but if I had to pick a venue in America it would be the Bi-Lo Center in Greenville, SC. What other way better than to slap everyone in the face trying to tell me I wouldn't make it by coming back to my hometown and selling out thousands and thousands of seats. But I would LOVE to go to London and Australia and places like that too!

UHIH1:

Who would you most like to open for?

CC:

I gotta go with one of the greatest and my all time favorite Eminem. To meet that dude and open up for him would be a dream come true man!

UHIH1:

If someone said you sounded like Eminem, how would you respond to that?

CC:

Hahaha I've already gotten that almost by everyone and I can't shake that comparison! I would somewhat have to agree because he's a HUGE part on why I started rapping so obviously I'm going to develop some ways on how he raps. It doesn't help that some people say I look like him either. But I feel honored to even be compared to him. Even if some people say I'm a wannabe Em because I try really hard not to sound like him.
