Who inspired you to make music?
A: “Lil Wayne of course and my Tmak and Maul. They made a song still on SoundCloud called “Watch My Surroundings”. They just went crazy no hook….then I went and made a song off my laptop with an Xbox headset called “I been Racing” and I still think its my most played.”

A: “That you can feel any type of way and put it in a song. There’s a lot of versatility in my music. But its unique to me and I feel like I can get my experiences or dreams across to millions of people for real one day.”
