1. Where are you from? Have your surroundings shaped you in a creative sense, and in what way(s)?
I’m from Ithaca New York. I’m a product of my environment in every way, shape, and form. It’s not the most rural, or dangerous environment-but I grew up through some trials and tribulations that a lot of people should never deal with. My upbringing forced me to use rap as an outlet; the way I think was molded by experiences I’ve lived through and, and things I’ve seen with my own eyes.
2. What did you start doing first, producing or rapping? How did you get started?
Rapping. I don’t produce at all. I wrote my verse verse at 6, and I recorded my first song at 11.
3. What was your introduction to the underground scene?
I started putting videos on YouTube when I was 12 years old. Getting recognition, no matter how bad I was, and becoming more visible for people to see what I was doing. This was when people first started to take notice.
4. Who have you produced for? Who would you like to produce for?
Nobody
5. Do you have anyone that you consider your mentor? How has their help or advice shaped you?
My boy Mr. McBean. He’s taught me a lot about business etiquette, routine, consistency and just being an artist overall. I’m forever grateful for that dude.
6. What is one experience in life that, without it, you wouldn’t be the artist you are today?
I got shot in 2018, and it motivated me to the next level. I came to the realization that this is quite literally door die, and I need to go harder than ever before. There are 1000 situations I could bring up; but currently, this is the most impactful.
7. Tell me about the first song you ever made. Was it a success or a failure in your opinion?
It was neither. It was a learning experience, and something I used to grow. It was at a local community center, with two peers; the song wasn’t good-but it was decent for how young we were.
8. What do you hope to accomplish this year?
I plan on setting the foundation to takeover for the next decade. I will release multiple projects, singles, and videos. While doing that, I will increase my global footprint and visibility. I plan to make music my primary income.
