Could you walk us through your creative process when writing and producing music, from inception to the final product?
My process is very simple, does it sound good to me 1st, because if it doesn’t then I bet it doesn’t sound good to other people either. I have to impress myself, once I do that I win the audience.
Where did your musical journey begin, and how did you get started as a rapper?
I got started early in the 5th grade becoming a rapper and it was like learning how to ride a bike or play a video game but with Creative Literature back in the good ole days of Sacramento.
