  Where were you originally born?

Rochester but my father is from Venezuela and my mother is white.

At what age did you get you into rapping?

When I was 21.

How did you and DJ Green Lantern first link up?

 I did a song about Rochester and Green took notice of it and hit me up and we started working instantly.

    What’s the relationship between the two of you?

That's my man, he's like a big brother and a mentor all in one.

& did DJ Ease impact  your career as well?

Oh DJ Ease? Yeah, that’s just my man. He DJ'd for me when I first hit New York, I still rock tapes with Ease.

Any project that you've been working on recently?

We working on a tape called “No Shame No Regrets” Green (DJ Green Lantern) and I.

When is that set to drop?

Uh, soon were just waiting on some features to come back.

How has it been this weekend at A3C performing for the DJ Booth and also at the Dunk Exchange?

Its love, It’s good to interact with the fans and really see that they appreciate it and really cool to meet people and network you know?

  Top 5 rappers dead or alive?

Oh shit naw I probably cant ha. But B.I.G, Nas, Jay-Z, Emeniem, and I don’t know man Busta.

 You’re in a good situation now, where a lot of people are paying attention to you and wanna hear more and more. How do you respond to that?

 It’s a blessing to have that many ears you know? A lot of people would kill to be in my position and that’s a blessing I know there;s a lot more work for me to do and I’m gonna do it but right now I’m very happy at what we've accomplished. There’s a lot more to go but I can’t ignore the fact that we've done a lot on our own.

  How do you change your vibe and flow from when you’re getting on a more up tempo track like “Pussy & Cologne” to then a more personal track like “Breaking Point” or “SPIC”

That’s just always been in my nature you know. Even on the more up tempo records It’s still me just different production. As long as I’m honest with myself it’s easy to maneuver different melody's.

Who are some producers who you are fucking with hard?

I’m fucking with Ill Mind and Lifted, Renegades a lot.

What’s one artist that you would love to work with?

I don’t know I’m going to avoid that question. Nas only worked with AZ on his first album and there’s no reason I can’t do the same. I’m a good lyricist and there's no reason why I cant do shit like that.
