The philosophy by which you live by?
My philosophy is "Work hard and play later." You have to get your "ones" up before you can get your fun up is what I was taught coming up. So I sacrifice most of the times - the parties, girls, and social events to make sure I get where I need to be. No one is going do your work for you.
What sets you apart from other aspiring rappers?
My mission and goals set me apart from other rappers. The goals that I've set for myself, not just as an artist but as an individual, are very challenging. I set myself and my art on a higher standard. The position I’m putting myself in is a position of a true role model, thus I make sure that my image and my work are similar. I keep it authentic.
What is your opinion of the current state of hip hop?
In terms of the current state of the Hip Hop biz, I can't really speak on that as an outsider right now. I would have to have more association with the industry to give my opinions, because my views may be wrong. I like to do research on topics before I give my opinion. But, I like the music I'm hearing.
If you change one thing about the music industry what would it be and why?
I would change all of the Beefs and fighting. It was fine when it first arrived but now artists are taking it to far and are beefing over the childish things.Some artists beef over silly thing like if a car was rented or not? If I know how long my money is why would I worry what another man has. The silly beefs have to stop.

Yes, I would love to do songs with Mary J. Blige, Monica, Keyshia Cole, Trey Songz, Babyface, Jazmine Sullivan and if possible the legendary Boyz to Men.
What producer would you like to collaborate with in the future?
No doubt, I am very much interested in working with Timbaland and Kanye West.
What are some major misconceptions that you think people have of you?
Some people have misconceptions about the messages in my songs I’m trying to get across. When I say "stunt" I don’t mean go out of your way to splurge on something you know you can’t get. I mean show off what you've been blessed with. Everything I have now I was blessed with, that’s why I say I’m "stunting", because I've come a long way.
What is your favorite part of your live show? How has it evolved?
My favorite part is when the crowd gets involved during the performances. My stage show has evolved well, now that I don’t become tense and nervous like I used to. LOL. Now, I just come out and give them a great show. I've learned to be a true MC (Master of Ceremony).
What your LP going to be like?
My album will be explosive. It’s definitely going to be something different. I know a lot of people say this but when it debut it’s going to change lives.
What is your website?
My website is under construction right now.
Any final words for the people?
Yeah if you’re doing something positive for yourself or family continue on and do it. Don’t let nothing or anyone stop you. Like Philippians 4:16 says “I can do all things thru Christ which strengths me….” So if you just have determination, commitment, and faith you can overcome any limitation and become anything you've dreamed of becoming. I’m a living witness.
