Hey – thanks for the interview! Just to introduce things, how long have you been making music, and who or what first inspired you to start?

Which track from your catalogue would you recommend to new listeners, and why?
Know I got packs is my rawest song. Me to the core.
What do you think is the best bar you’ve written so far, and why?
“I guess I’m the quarterback if this is the team
Nigga look like Brady when I’m flinging them things
And I love when the pack touching down
Cause the whole team get rings
Wow

Cellular…..”
Is live performance a big part of your plans?
I’m thinking of doing some shows online but with corona no sirrrr.
Do you produce your own music, and if not – how do you choose producers to work with, what do you base the decision upon?
I find beats everywhere man I just need me some 808s and hi-hats and Ima float on a track like a new drone.
What’s the best piece of advice you were ever given about making music?
TAKE IT SERIOUS.
Tell us something most people would be surprised to hear about you?
I just want to see everybody make it. There isn’t an envious bone in my body.
What’s next for you?
Making it to the next level no doubt. It’s only a matter of time, TYPE SHIOT!
