I knew Hip Hop was going to play a major part in my life from growing up listening to Tupac as a child my parents and my uncles were huge Pac supporters. All Eyez On Me was out on cassette and I was like 3 or 4 years old and my favorite song at the time was “California Love”. It was just a groovy sound that stood out to me at a young age. What artist(s) have influenced your music? Out of all honestly I admire a great number of artist new and old era, far as coming up in this day and age I gotta give and show praise to Pac, Outkast, KanYe West, Pharrell Williams, Prince, Michael Jackson, & Jay-Z. Hip Hop isn’t the only interest in my life it just happen to be the craft that started it all, that and basketball. I used to play back in high school a “once upon a time love”, but that’s another story to be told. Exploring and traveling would probably have to be my new found love. Meeting new people and embracing different cultures is a cool experience. What is your main goal? You mean in hip hop right? I guess it would have to be to continuously speak a message to the young generation about respect, you know for themselves and their peers. Making each other better, not talking down on your peers, speaking words of encouragement to each other. Dream as big as the universe, hop in your spaceship and chase “your” dreams not someone else’s. That they can like and love what they like and love. “...Hop in your spaceship and chase “your” dreams, not someone else’s.” Ones ignorance might be ones sanity but find the good in whatever it is you choose to pursue and gain what you want from it, its perspective appeal. We’re all unique I believe so, so why shouldn’t we all want different things out of this world let each other be and not be so envious of your brothers and sisters. Love ya self and know that time is precious. I was brought up being told that the children are the future I want contribute to opening a kids mind to greater things instead of the normal and cliché the same way the OGs inspired me.
