Can you tell us about your latest release and the background and inspirations behind it?
Trapped isn’t the latest but it’s the most important to me. it was made because of the state of Hip-Hop we have all these kids killing and being killed. all people want to do is beef these days. it became my personal side mission when my 17-year-old cousin was killed over Nothing and i was shot in my yard trying to help a group of teens who were being hunted by gunman. we have seen a decline in morals and to me the music that is being pushed by the labels is promoting drugs and violence. Trapping went from a way of life to get to the next level to what everyone wants to do even if they came from a good family and neighborhood. now you have suburban kids who never heard of Pac or Big etc.. speaking on OG’s in music that wasn’t made for or by them to begin with
How have you ended up in the music industry?
really i have real words and real content that nobody will talk or rap about so i have taken my chance to say what needs to be said
What do you think of the music industry in 2022?
its crazy. true its tons of talent but most of the (HOT ARTIST) aren’t talking about nothing just repetitive words over a hot beat. the others just talking about killing their opp POP & R&B are basically dead because everyone want’s to rap

What other hobbies or interests do you have?
racing. I haven’t been out in a minute but it’s something about taking a vehicle and building 12 or 1300 HP and pushing it to its limit. i like the sleepers that nobody looks at. i have two chevy s10’s one is a 1990 model with around 650 HP and the other is a 2002 with around 1100 HP. i even did some work to my escalade to bring it closer to the 500 HP mark
