What kind of support do you get from your home town/state? I have friends, friends or friends who show love everywhere I go shout out to the real. Everyone just seems shocked honestly I’m shocked myself too not even gonna lie, but I’m glad to be doing what I’ve wanted todo for years and it’s finally paying off.
If you wasn’t rapping, what would you be doing right now? Most likely still making beats and cover arts selling them to my clients and working, but I have bigger dreams than staying in a small town working a 9-5 when I can make a bag off this music and open businesses doing everything the right way. That’s my dream so I’ll continue to chase it.
What really makes you stand out and different from other artists? Everyone loves my bars especially when I use anime and horror movie references but anyone who knows me knows I love anime and horror movies so I just mix it in with stories of my past. I love the music and beats I make that’s all that really matters to me and the fact that others feel the same way about my music is a different feeling I’ll tell you that.
Tell us your craziest life story: Losing my mom, I’ve had a lot of crazy problems in my past but that one had to be the craziest moment. I don’t think anyone’s ready to lose their moms especially at 20 years old that’s a type of pain I wouldn’t want to wish on anyone. I wish my mom was still here to see her son in this article i know she would’ve been so proud, but everything I do and all my accomplishments are for her. Rip mom
What’s your biggest goal in the music industry? I plan to make it out wether it’s through my beats or music I wanna just make a bag w my brothers and open many businesses and make my mom proud I have big dream and so many goals that I have yet to accomplish but I am gonna get there. Another big goal is I want a major artist on one of my beats especially one of my top 3.
If you could collaborate with one single artist who would it be and why? Comethazine easy, I’ll produce his whole album and produce HMR if he needs a valid producer who can make beats for his many flows. I’m the biggest comethazine fan honestly know all his songs and words.
Favorite Artists of all time and why? My favorite song of all time is “party & bullshit” and “gimmie the loot” so it’s most definitely Biggie.
What advice would you give to inspiring rappers? Don’t be scared to come out of of ya shell honestly I know a lot of them are scared of what peoples judgement would be and that really breaks a persons confidence down just be you, have fun, make music.
Is there anyone you would like to thank for helping you make it to where you are now? My family, my friends, my fans, my mom. Thanks you all
