Who are your biggest influences in life?
My Pawpaw! Taught to stand on principles! My son taught me responsibility!
Who’s your favorite artist
Really, I love me, but Meek Mill has a big influence on me in my grind life.
What inspired you to do music?
Coming from where I come from, the only way I knew was selling drugs. I didn’t want be like the rest of these people with no legal income so when I turned 18 I took my hobbie, which was music, more seriously and then it took me more seriously.
What is something you like to do besides making music?
I love to play basketball. I feel like if I took it more seriously I could’ve been the NBA.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
An Icon in the music industry. I’ll know when I finally made it when I see how many other people I made millionaires.
