I can't remember the age but it goes back as far as I can remember, I know it was elementary school, banging on the tables, listening to Mary J, Biggie and Wu-tang, etc etc. Big Daddy Kane made me love rap first! I knew every word of his songs lol.
When did you start rapping?
My whole family is into music, so it was inevitable. I'm a Pisces and they say we are musically inclined. God showed me what he gave me and I ran with it. The whole feeling of rap was partying and talking about where you from. I'm from Fort Greene and my neighborhood has a lot of stories to tell lmao, and partying I been doing that since elementary.
Who were your biggest musical influences?
Big Daddy Kane, Queen Latifah(who u calling a bitch? Lmao) that was my shit, MC Lyte, Biggie, Jay-z, Foxy, Kim because they were all from Brooklyn and I could really relate to them.

What is your outlook on the music industry?
I think the music industry is going through some problems. It seems like they do not know and trust talented artist. There are plenty of good artists out there, not just rappers, but artists that deserve a shot. Many do not get their shot because they don't sound like everyone else. Personally, I don't plan on sounding like no one so get ready, I'm doing what I want!!!!!!!!!!
