In this exclusive interview, the slick talking youngster chops it up about how well he’s been taking his climb up the ladder of success.
–What current projects are you working on?
I’m working on my new tape DoggPound HD… it’s a crossover between Pain Music & Hustling Music aka Motivation featuring some the Dopest Producers like FKi, Zaytoven, BigZar, Spinz, Flip_Cobang, Mr. Porter (Bird), DaeDae (TMT) etc. I can go on, but this is my first time picking my own sounds instead of producers just handing them to me.
–Where are you originally from?
I’m originally from Thumpa Thumpa –Joliet, Il 25mins from the City of Chicago
–Who are your influences musically?
Old school– The Temptations honestly. I know that’s weird, but most of my sounds are crafted through them and in the New school– Yo Gotti and Lil Webbie. They have so much to do with my grind coming up.
–When did you start taking your craft seriously?
Three years ago when I dropped my first Real tape SHOTTAS where all my songs were mine. I’ve been rapping since 12, but it was more of play then the Streets had too much of my time.
—-What can we expect from you in future?
Legendary….. that’s it! I’m something that’s on a whole other level. Just know I’m coming… Back to Back and about to make history!
