The name reflects the lifestyle I'm trying to live. I want to do what's right and Godly. Do you play live? I'll be heating up live performances all summer long. How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry? The internet great. It allows everyone who wants to break into the music bussiness a chance to display their talent. Would you sign a record contract with a major label? I'm happy with the control that I have as an independent, but a brother gotta eat. So yes, I would sign a major deal. Your influences? Common, Mos Def, A Tribe Called Quest Favorite spot? Virginia! It's cool being from the Boondox. I like the fresh country air and the southern hospitality among the people. Equipment used: Yamaha PSR-520, BossDr. Groove DR-202, Acid Loops, Mackie micro series 1202, Magix Software Anything else...? Give God's music a chance. My rap is positive and spiritual. How many more songs can rappers come up with about sex, money, and drugs. My music is hotter than alot of these major label acts and I want show that if God is for you, who can be against you? |
