How long have you been "In the game"?
Well I used to write a lot of poetry that no one in the world knew about..Then I got into rap when I baught myu first rap album, "Country Grammer". Lol, Yes I know, Kinda newbie-ish, but whatever..Read on. Anyway, After I listened to rap and got used to it, I though tmaybe, ofr laughs, I'd try writing my own. And out came who I am today. A lyricist..So for the past some years now, I've been doing what I love, and do best, and plan never to quit, 'Till death do me part...
What inspired you to start rappin'?
Well Like I said before, My first rap album got me to write my first rhyme, but you know how all newbies start off..They think they're hard and wanna write "gangsta" but then, after getting into 2Pac and Bone Thugs N' Harmony, I realized..That's not what it's all about..It's about telling poeple what you feel, and letting all pain out, and letting the world know, Even rappers have it hard, and usually, harder then most. Another thing that boosted my need to write was when I saw Eminem on an interview, and how he described people telling him he couldn't do it, and I realised, I had been treated the same, and I knew I could, And so My intentions were to do it..And so until I am accepted, this is the way I chose to live my life...
Have you ever doubted yourself? If so, why?
Well, I know I shouldn't reveal all, but yes, I have.. One night, on the phone with two very good friends of mine, we were battling, but see my problam is..I can't...I just suck at it.. So I started doubtiong myself, in everyway....Because of my skill, race, and disabilities (Disableities meaning, not having a studio I could chill in and take my time to be orginized, not being alowd to live up to the "rapper image"..)
What are your long term goals?
Well...I have many. I want my own studio, I want to be heard by many Americans, and tuch lives with my work.. I don't want money, although money is great. I just want to beable to say what I want, when I want and how i want, without being judged cause of race, or rhyme..But we all know, "A dream is a vision of a mans future, And all I invision is dreaming of my future" (R.I.P. Statik).
Have you ever witnessed or been invold in a misleading?
One of my werst cases was with a couple friends...They visted from New York to come down here to Atl to record a demo with me but shit when down hill fast. Well I'm not gonna hold back the truth. I kinda said soem shit that was all lie. Well...Alot of shit. But I really did have people to record with and shit but, when ------ and --- came down, I got too caught up in jokin' arownd and goofin' off, that I lost the bussiness train of thought. So they told me their mom called and sayed they had a job they needed to start in New York, a.s.a.p. but it was just a cover up cause they wanted to leave. I never really put the pieceds of the puzzle together until just resently. I actually wanted to ask them and see if I could come down there..Adn i was serious abotu it this time..I have the whole summer to do shit andf I thought a few weeks in Ny wouldn't hurt..And plus I thought I had friends who wanted me there. but I was wrong..Now he's goin' to the studio with some lyrics dissin' me which he wrote right under my knows..So now I guess we aren't friends... No matter how much I wish shit would of turned arownd and went differently.. So Now I got to choose...Sit back and take the beating in which I deserve for a good friendship with some tight ass ppl, or respond...
LOL!!! I'd hate to say it but I wouldn't be Raw if I didn't respond!! Sorry 4...I luv ya and all, you are an aswome friend but shit's got to be the way it is..
