COLLEGE, KINDA IN THE BAY (NOT REALLY ABOUT 30 MINS FROM IT) OUT IN SANTA CRUZ.

females up that way..
I CAN SEE HOW YOU HAVE THAT NICE
STYLE OF RAPPING
Appreciate the complement folks. Right on!!
SO WHO INFLUENCED YOU IN THE RAP GAME
GROWING UP?
I had a lot of influences more so the older cats in the game like
Rakim and KRS-1 were the MC's who got me interested in hip-hop. But other
cats like 2Pac, Nas, Jay-Z, Scarface and Snoop was a big influence on
me growing up
I SEE YOU HAVE SOME FEATURES WITH
FREEWAY AND STYLES P, HOW DID YOU HOOK UP WITH THOSE GUYS?
We hook'd up threw mutual contacts, managers.
SO, HOW WAS THAT GRIND FOR YOU TRYING
TO BUILD THAT STREET CRED AND GOOD FAN BASE?
I'm not really worried about street cred I'm already street orientated, I
still stay in the hood. I'm just concentrating on my fan base just trying to
promote good quality music.
WHAT'S OUT THER FOR THE PEOPLE RIGHT
NOW TO HEAR FROM YOU (CD'S/MIXTAPES)
We got my album "Devil On My Back" on itunes or any other
online store you shop with. The video just went up on YouTube a couple weeks ago;
also you can hear most of the album on myspace. It's a couple of spots you can
check your boy out at...
WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU?
Just working on the next album trying to raise the bar for myself,
trying to perfect my craft. Also, you can look out for are video on iTunes,
video of the week that's pretty much it for right now…
MOST RAPPERS FIRST ALBUM IS REAL LIFE
BASED, MOSTLY WHAT THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH, WHAT CAN THE PEOPLE EXPECT FROM YOU?
A lot of poetic scriptures about a young man struggling with religion
and his faith. Expressing not only the mental but the holy tug-a-war going on
inside myself, besides that side of the album it's pretty much a well rounded
album something for every one even the ladies..
