1. You are from Los Angeles, what part of the city did you grow up?
Aye what up bro. Maan I was the kid that moved a lot, grew up three places The Valley, South Central, and actually Palmdale, but you know LA n***s gonna be like Palmdale not LA lmao but still I f*** with that city and the people. I be trying to claim that city but I dont think n*** messing with me out there lol. I stayed in Inglewood for a little too, but those three places is what groom me forreal. Im a LA baby bro when im out there, im every where. Right now im in a city call Lynn like 15 minutes away from Boston.
2. Growing up, what were your music influences? Like what did your family or friends listen to around you?
Growing up my Mom was heavy on rap music, neo-soul, and gospel it depends on her mood. One day you’ll hear Dj Quik, Suga Free, or E-40, Dru Down, Snoop. She loved pimp music, next Erykah Badu, Faith Evans, or Jill Scott. Me and my friends use to bump Boosie, TI, young YG lol. I was a big fan of 50 cent and Dipset, and Nipsey.
3. Did you have favorite artist or favorite group or anything?
I’m a big fan of 2pac and Snoop Dogg. To me they the greatest.
4. What’s the funnest thing about Los Angeles?
5. What really made you want to get into music?
I was trying to get into music since I was knee high, I wanted to be a dj or a producer at first. I started getting into poetry and took choir classes, Maan but life distractions hit as i got older I was more focus on other things. One day I was down and out and my homies really influenced me to rap met up with a couple people, I went to the homie Doc Holiday studio and never stop after that experienced, been taking it serious since 2018.
6. With everything going on in the world, how do you feel about the future of yourself and the city?
With the covid and the riots going on right I really hope people unite, like f*** . I know you a blood, crip, or whatever, but we black man first thou lets take of our communities, each other, staying healthy. Im talking fantasy right now I know, but we do have potential to do that look at the 60’s and the 8 trays. With me I just wanna influence people with my art by enlightenment and entertainment. So if a couple raps distract you for 2 or 3 mins or influenced you, my work is done.
7. Favorite spot to eat in the city?
Everybody that knows me lol knows my favorite spot is Louisiana Fry Chicken. Not the one on Manchester lol the one on Centinela in Inglewood. They be hooking me up.
8. One artist/producer/director or anyone you would like to work with?
I would love to work with Alchemist.
9. Anything else you want use to know?
My music don’t sound like no one in the city. You’re going to get a whole different vibe listening to me. If you wanna hear real lyrical street poetry music just turn me on. Gonna get a couple jewels from a n*** ya feel me. And I do this for the love of music and writing idc for the money, money gonna come. I want people to understand and relate. I’m just like you.
