Explain who you are for those who don’t know

I’m from Oakland California ,started off trying to pursue beats and production but I started rappin 10 months ago, I’ve always had a passion for music since I’ve been young , when I was little and would get sick, music would change my whole mood and make me feel better. From that point on I knew I was going to do something wit music weather it may be an Artist, Producer, Manager, Or AR. I knew I was going to be involved in the music industry because I have such a good ear for music , I always listen to rappers and know they finna blow up before anyone gives them recognition, so I guess I’m just finally tryna put effort into my self. Other than that I’m real chill guy, I like to smoke a lot of backwoods  and make a lot of music lol.

How did you come up with your name?

The came up with my name is actually kind of simple, I was smoking wit my brother and my real name starts wit a J, and when I was thinking about my rapper name  I was just thinking to much just about my career and wat ppl are going to think. And my brother said to me just do it like Nike cuz u finna be in yo GLO. Think about that one it will make sense if you put some thought into it.

Whats it like growing up where your from?

It’s rough living in one of the dangerous murder capitals in the country where people hate on you constantly and people die everyday. People fuk wit me  where I’m from but no matter what , whenever you doing something different and adding something new into the culture that’s generally use to the same type of music for centuries at a time of course it’s gone be some haters and people who gone voice they opinion. I just use it as motivation to stay focus and long as I know I’m making music that I love, music that is unique, and vibrant I know I’m doing my job as an Artist and being an Artist you have to understand that everyone is not going to like your music , but building up your own fan base is very important and that’s what I’m focusing on the most rite now to get my music out their to as many ears as possible.

How did you get into music?

I got into music really on my own just always watching MTV Jams And Revolt and seeing my cousin Stevie Joe doing songs with Philthy Rich, seeing my uncle work with snoop dog when I was younger, growing up being in church being around instruments all the time. It’s always been around me and listening to so many different types of music , from Hip Hop to R&B , Gospel, all these different elements of music I feel has all played a huge roll in my life and has helped me in many different ways.

What makes you different than other artists?

I don’t think I’m different from any Artist out their , I feel like that’s to much of broad statement to say. We all have a dream, we all wanna be somewhere one day and just tryna support ourselves and our family. I just make music I love and think is pretty good and stay focused on the people who support me and rock wit my music, and I just block out all the negative vibes and comments from people who don’t fwm

What are you currently working on?

I’m Actually working on dropping my first EP called ” REBEL THOUGHTS” and I will be dropping more music videos all summer, my first music video ever made got a pretty good response from the public with over 10,000 views from the public and considering my music is different from most Bay Area Artist so it’s harder for me to build a bigger fan base then just an Average rapper from out here. So that motivated me and I’m striving just do better and Improve each music video , each song , each show, everything.

Anything you would like to say? 

I just want to thank you guys for this wonderful opportunity and I hope you guys enjoyed hearing a lil bit about my life and my road to success as we speak
