- Where are you from and what was it like growing up there?
I’m originally from Wilson, NC. Which now they call it “WIDE AWAKE”.
I grew up in FIVE POINTS, DANIEL HILL, and Reid Street area. Growing up in Wilson was a grind and there is no real middle class. Really just hard working blue collar workers and then the rich. Growing up I was always into the arts and hip hop culture. I did a lot of graffiti/art, sports, and music growing up. Also spent a lot of time at the skateboard parks and riding BMX. There were a lot of kids into selling drugs etc but I wanted to take a different path because I did want more and plus in a small town like that it’s so easy to get caught up. To make sure I had money and didn’t work a job I use to sell mixtapes out the trunk, cut hair, and sell clothes etc. I was the only kid in town with music and clothes so the money was good! That’s what sparked the entrepreneurship journey as well.
2. Growing up what music inspired you?
I would say old school R&B music inspired me.
3. What made you want to rap?
When I was younger I use to rap and record and play it back just for fun. Hearing artist like JAYZ, NAS, FABOLOUS, SNOOP, PAC, AND TOO SHORT was inspirational as well.
4. If you could work with any artist who would it be?
I would work with Kanye.
5. Tell us about your newest releases…
Newest releases I’m pushing are WAVE, Drip Walk, and I NEEDA BAG.
6. What do you have planned for the next year?
Would love to get on a tour with major artist.
7. What is your favorite Hip Hop album of all time?
NAS Album Illmatic
