** Though most of my family is rooted in Southern Cali, I’ve been in Reno most of my life. Everything that I did to become who I am today, I did right here. All my first experiences with the Gangsta life were right here, in my neighborhood. You can’t be proud of who you Are without being proud of where you’re From. I push this WEST coast line cause its who I am and what I am… More than music, I LIVE it, and earned the right to rep it as well as I do. My lil city is Craccin and I’m here to give you a glimpse of what goes on in dark craccs and shadows of that city…
YOU HAVE CLAIMED YOURSELF “RENO’S PREMIERE UNDERGROUND RAP ARTIST”, WHAT SETS YOU APART FROM OTHER RAP ARTISTS IN THE RENO UNDERGROUND RAP SCENE?
** Primarily I would have to say my level of commitment and consistancy, but I also stand apart based on work ethic and business relationships I’ve developed thru my career. I also believe myself to be one of illest in the region, but talent gets you nowhere.. Its what you DO with it that counts. So I tend to focus on my work ethic and makin MOVES, Not EXCUSES… That’s what sets me apart.
WHEN I WAS CHECKING OUT YOUR MYSPACE PAGE I TOOK NOTICE OF A QUOTE IN THE BACKGROUND THAT READ:
“HIP HOP ISN’T DEAD IT WAS JUST KIDNAPPED BY SUBURBIA…”
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU?
** HipHop was rooted in struggle, economic and racial barriars tempered that steel that was to mold the Hip-Hop culture. It was used as therapy, as a podium to the people, a light in the dark, a way for the urban population to make sence of there situation and find comfort. Thru the years, it has strayed to Flossin, and Meaningless wordplay and endless metaphors without meaning.. It has grown further and further off course to where Now, Urban tales of the plight and despair in the ghetto isn’t even considered HipHop by many. Instead it is “Gangsta Rap”, when in truth it is closer to the essence of HipHop than any of that Bullshyt on the radio. So I’m takin it right bac to the gutter where it still means something. Yeeeeee !!
