I’m from: The Eastside [of Detroit]

Growing up in Detroit has taught me: That nothing is free in this world. [I learned] how to grind, how not to have a lot and still make it work. It teaches you survival – if you can make it in Detroit, I feel that you can make it anywhere. 

I got into the music industry because: I love music. I love the life and the things that come with the industry. I’ve always been into music; I played the drums as a kid. 

I grew up listening to: Everybody, but mostly Tupac, Biggie, Jay-z, Nas, Lil Wayne, and Eminem. 

The first song I recorded was: Called “get it”, I was 17 and it was a club song. Back then it was the best thing out, to me, but when I look back on it its funny because of how far along I’ve came. I used to rap all punch lines and now I make music. 

I’m currently working on: My 3rd mixtape, Million dollar dreams reloaded, hosted by DJ Young Mase, [and it] comes out on September 20th.  It’s called reloaded because it’s a mixture of my first 2 mixtapes plus some other songs. I’m doing it this way because the world hasn’t heard those songs and now I have more outlets to get it out. 

When I’m in the studio: The energy is always crazy. I get in my zone by turning the beat up and vibing to it. I freestyle real good, so I freestyle until I catch my rhyme pattern and go from there. 

I am most proud of: The consistency I have shown; even though it was a slow process, I never got down on myself I just kept grinding. Also, the things I have accomplished in a yr. of being all the way serious with music; I dropped 2 mixtapes and the third is on the way so that’s a proud feeling.
