Where are you from?

East side of Detroit..

So, what are your thoughts on the current state of Hip Hop?

Its getting dangerous for rappers with the mindset a lot of us have right

now. I think we can do better and be better.

How do you separate yourself from other artists?

Im just me. I don’t know how to explain it, but energy is just unique.. I move

different.

Who influenced your style?

I got bits and pieces from everybody. I listen to everything. But to highlight

a person I would have to say Drake

Bring up something that was really successful or a high point in the artist’s career:

When NWTS Dropped Everybody knew what was up he had the world

Who do you want to work with in the future?

Drake, Future and Dej Loaf

Who are you inspired by?

Drake, Future, Kanye, Detroit artist like Big Sean… its hard to single out any

one person.. Music inspires me.. the sound of music inspires me.

Please explain your creative process.

I like to get the beats first… then the vibe just goes from there. Definitely

smoke one and just see where the music takes me.

What’s an average day like for you?

Wake up, wash up, smoke one and start working.. write songs, record, take

business calls… play the game in between when I get a chance.

How did you come up with the concept for your recent single?

Aspiring to be REALLY rich.. and that could be rich in money, rich in love,

rich in health… after living the struggle Im ready to be Real Rich..

Where can fans find your music?

Everywhere, all platforms!

Do you collaborate with others?

Yes. I love collaborating. I love mixing styles and having somebody to work

with.. it makes it fun. Its nice to be the only one, buts its also nice to know

you not the only one.. Don’t let that go over your head…

What is that process?

It could be through email, or sometimes we can get in the studio and come

up with it off the top.. it just depends.. the process is unique and fun all the

way around.

Please discuss how you interact with and respond to fans.

I like communicating with fans.. I don’t respond to negative, I don’t invite

that energy in.. I like direct communication with fans.. I like for them to leave

our conversation feeling like they really got a piece of me.

What is your favorite part about this line of work?

The creation and the performance are my favorite parts.

Your least favorite?Why?

Engineering, because its hard to focus on me in a collaborative effort when

engineering… a lot of people want to be engineered by me because Im really

really good at it.

What are you currently working on?

Im working on two projects.. Three Mile Child, and Purple Dreams.. Im really

pushing to get them dropped ASAP

How is your music/sound different/unique from everything that’s going on now?

The energy and vibe are what make it different.. The way it connects to the

listener.. thats what people who listen to my music always tell me.. the vibe

is just special.

What advice would you have for someone wanting to follow in your footsteps?

Keep your head up, be observant and pay attention to all the energy around

you.. the good and the bad energy.. and always stay creative.
