HOMETOWN?
New Orleans Louisiana.
Home of some of the best artist in the world…We Back!!
ALSO I SEE YOU BEEN IN THE GAME DOING YOUR THING ON THE PRODUCER SIDE, TELL US ABOUT THAT? Yea I've been behind the scenes producing and engineering. I've worked with G-Unit(Shout Out Sha Money XL), The Ruff Ryders, Jazzy Pha, Truth Hurts, D-Boyz(Lac & Stone), Power & Money and so many more. Rapping is what I started doing, but producing is what I've been getting paid to do. I love both equally though.
SO WHO INFLUENCED YOU IN THE RAP GAME GROWING UP? I was influenced by Pac, Biggie, Jay-Z, Nas, Scarface and the likes of those. I always listened to the top of the chain so I can take notes and figure how I can get into that number 1 spot.
I SEE YOU HAVE DONE WORK WITH G-UNIT, RUFF RYDERS, AND JAZZY PHA; DID THESE GUYS HELP YOU AT ALL WITH YOUR LYRICAL SKILLS ON THE MIC AND PICKING UP TIPS? Most of the tips I got from these guys where production, engineering and just industry tips. From Jazzy I noticed how he did his job and left. With the Ruff Ryders, it came as a surprise, so I learned to always be ready. But I've learned the most from Sha Money of G-Unit. He taught me to believe in myself and keep pushing. His words are "Success is not a destination, but a journey". And he right!
SO, HOW HAS THE GRIND FOR YOU TRYING TO BUILD THAT STREET CRED AND GOOD FAN BASE? As far as the street cred, it has been there. But now I'm attacking the game as a new artist. Eventhough I've worked with some of the best in the game, I still have to beat the concrete like I'm fresh off the porch. So it's all a grind. I cannot stop and I will not lose.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU? Keep producing and spitting them flames. I'm still getting major placements, so be on the look out for that. Plus I'm prepping my next mixtape "Before Da Piece" and the album "Piece Be Wit U:Da Holy Writ". So it's going down. I'm trying to bring New Orleans all the way back. They gonna have to put 2 from the same city at the top.
MOST RAPPERS FIRST ALBUM IS REAL LIFE BASED, MOSTLY WHAT THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH, WHAT CAN THE PEOPLE EXPECT FROM YOU? That's all they can expect is real from me. See I'm one of the few artist who has actually lived the life they rap about. Before the albums and the rapping I was living in $300,000 homes and driving $100,000 cars. So my life is real. What I intend on doing with my music is give the listeners a piece of my life. I want them to feel the way I felt when I wrote the music...
