I didnt get started really until i was probably a junior in high school and even then it was just beatboxing and freestyle cyphers with the close friends but it truest all began in elementary school when my mom put me and my older sister in glee club.  I guess she thought I was going to be the next Marvin Gaye or. Luther.

In five years i see myself looking back at 2018 as the year everything changed.   Plain and simple. If you want to know where i plan on being listen to my music it’s all there and unfolding accordingly.

What is your opinion on the current hiphop scene? 
In my opinion The CURRENT scene is about being seen. Not really having anything to say just being fun to watch. But I’ve been watching things shift over the past few years. But There’s a lot of artists that aren’t seen much that have a lot to say and they’re starting to get heard.

What is your opinion on the current hiphop scene? 
Hard to identify. The community is split because of the new wave of artists. Hip-Hop isn’t what it used to be, and is evolving and branching into something new.I think it’s up too the consumer where the scene goes, I just pray real authentic hip-hop stays relevant.
I respect anything that’s good, so I won’t knock new wave rappers if the song is dope and it sounds like real work was put in to create a body of art.
