Weighing all my options

What did you buy with your first check off music?

I think I prolly used it to pay bills, TBH

What is the best piece of advice in this business you actually followed?

Any money you make from your project, put it back into your promotion

Will you be collaborating with any other artists on this project or in the future?

Naw, I did one mixtape full of only collabs, that was more than enough lol

Do you think your music is mostly enjoyed more for the beats or for the lyrical flow and content?

Beats get the person hypnotized, lyrics embed in one subconscious, flow gets you in part boppin’ your head

Jay Z, he’s generated multiple revenue streams based solely on the success of his brand

Who have been some of your favorite artists that you�ve been able to work with?

Loose Logic

How do you feel about the current state of music?

Meh, Watered down, the educational messages behind music’s lyrics are not there as much anymore, the lyrical aspect of hip hop in commercial music; I feel, is gone from the late 90’s, making “smart” music really isn’t considered cool anymore, yeah they’re some cats trying to bring back that “woke” style, but it’s few and far betweet

What is your main goal as far as music?

To develop & generate  multiple revenue streams based on my brand

What separates you from other artists? (What’s makes you different?

I don’t try to copy the current hot song, I let the vibe, the beats I make dictate how the song should sound, my songs are a trippy cube of congealed madness, my songs are multi dimensional in my approach to the lyrics, sweeping synths, it’s all interesting to the listeners

Play Guitar, Write, Xbox

If you could work with any producer who would it be?

Hmmm, Dspiize
