CHUBB RAPS
GFM: When did you start rapping and finding yourself getting deep in this music industry?
I started rapping when I was 12 playing around with it and then later getting really good at it. And as far as me getting deep in the industry, I didn't start pursuing it heavy until after my motorcycle accident in 07 and I was going threw a lot and need to channel my energy. Then in 08 I linked up with a good friend of mine from high school and took it to another level with him making beats, rapping and recording, then I came with my rapping, drive, and great communication skills to get us heard! LoL
GFM: Do you feel your rap style have changed a lot from when you first started rapping?
Yes and no... I believe I have more evolved more than changed. Because I still have a lot of the old school styles in me but I able to take different elements of the new music that comes out mold it into my own without mimicking others.
GFM: Who was your early inspirations?
Michael Jackson, The old Cash Money, Tupac, Three 6 Mafia, The Lox, DMX, Dru Hill, R Kelly and a few others.
GFM: Who inspires you now?
Lupe Fiasco, Hopsin, and indie artists such as O.S.B., Charley B, Young Quic, and myself.
GFM: What is the best gig you ever done and why?
When I did the Stone Soul Picnic in 2010, because I ran into a lot of big name people that day such as Monica, V.I.C., Lil Boosie, and The SOS Gang. Even after I performed on the same stage as the industry artists I also performed again on the second stage for the youth that same day!
