6) As an independent hip-hop artist grinding it out, what sort of promotion and marketing are you doing to stand out from the rest?
I’m down to work with anyone who has passion and letting them feel comfortable with their art , i also engineer and I’m pretty good with social media so i know ill be fine , only step I’m trying to take is getting well connected with djs so they can spin my music which i will be doing soon … and linking up with my homies manager .. start getting out here with these shows and acting gigs .. i auditioned for a drug dealer role , didn’t get the part but they was feeling , they said i should of auditioned for a tupac role.

Only rappers i inspire to be like are tupac and nipsey hussle … tupac because we are very similar ( not cause of the resemblence) but cause of our life struggle i feel like ill be this generations pac .. i try my best to bring a thug life type sound back to hip hop and i love nipsey cause of how he thinks … he’s able to not care what others think and take risks.

My top 5 are Tupac, Nipsey Hussle, 50 Cent, Jay Z and Lil Wayne.
