How has Hip Hop influenced your music?
When I started with music I started with the singing aspect first but there was a fire inside that I couldn’t get out through singing a competitive fire and One thing is for sure is hip hop is a contact sport and I was in love with the aggressive side of hip hop back when it was a gentleman’s game when Mcs where Mcs and not rappers when lyrics where the fore front when lyricist would destroy beats and not be destroyed by the beat. To compete with yourself with being better everyday is how it influenced me.
Describe your music, and what separates you from other MCs?
I describe my music As being curious everybody wants to be able to tell people what they think about certain situations or what they day-dream about and my music is just that It’s relatable I don’t speak about nothing I have not seen or did and that’s what separates me besides me being able to stay conscious while at the same time having fun.
