Ok why dont
we start off
by letting people
know a little
about yourself?
I been rappin
since i was
15, but I didnt
take it seriously
till I was 18,
my main goal
was basketball
but it didnt
pan out like
it should have.
Im born and
raised in west
los angeles
but later moved
to the 909 area,
45 mins outside
of LA where

How
did you hook up with
Master P and get signed
to 'The New No Limit'?
I met P at a radio
station in Los angeles,
I spit for him, he
liked what he heard..
we exchanged numbers
and I kept in touch
with his close partner
dajuan. It was a slow
process it was hard
gettin on but I showed
them I was hungry
and stayed in touch
until we all met up
and I did a song "ima
gangsta" that
made the ghetto bill
album.
How did that feel
when you first hooked
up with Master P,
with him being a big
established name in
Hip Hop?
Man I couldnt believe
it myself, I grew
up on master p, silk
the whole No Limit
camp albums. So it
was crazy to chop
it up with him and
then actually lay
vocals with a legend.
Im juss tryna take
advantage of the oppurtunity
feel me.
How would you describe
your style?
Kinda east sound..
raw but yet smooth
west coast lyrics
still workin on my
delivery.
Which artists have
you been influenced
by or you was simply
a fan of when you
first started thinking
about rappin?
I listen to everybody,
I listen to alot of
mixtapes to see whos
out there underground
wise, but I grew up
on west coast artist
dre of course snoop
warren g nate. But
I was a big fan of
cube and ren they
the hardest I feel.
Are you releasing
anything soon, if
so can you give us
some information?
Nothing yet juss workin
on a mixtape.
Do You think the
west will rise again?
