Colorado / Germany
4. What do you do?
I make music
5. How long have you been making music?
I have been making music for 10 years.
6. What was your first song/project?
My first song was a random freestyle I did just to try out rapping. One thing led to the next and I started doing it full time.
7. Who’s your inspiration?
Artists, people, events, and life in general. I gain lots of inspiration from others and by just taking in my surroundings.
8. What genre of music do you create?
Rap / Hip Hop
9. Do you come up with your video concepts?
Yeah, for lots of them I do and some of them come from whoever is directing the video. It is mostly a collaborative effort, but sometimes I have a very specific idea in mind and I try to find someone who can bring that vision to life.
10. What was it like working with Shaun Reynolds?
I really like working with Shaun Reynolds. He is a dope producer from London and whenever we get in the studio together the ideas flow so easily. We usually drink a couple and have a few songs done in a couple hours.
11. What are some features you have?
KID SOMETHING is someone who I have featured on a few songs. We did a song called “The Struggle” together and that ended up being placed on the latest Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater.
12. What are some features you want to get?
I want to get Lil Dicky on a track.
13. Who’s one person, dead or alive, that you’d want to work with?
I want to work with Dr. Dre. I watched a documentary about how he linked up with Eminem in the studio and made a hit right away. It was really inspiring to me and I want to hopefully do something similar.
