5. What was the moment you feel in love with music aka your brown sugar moment?

When i freestlyed to get my Gameboy color back lol its silly but i couldn’t get it back until i did a 16 bar freestyle and it was all history

6. What was the moment you realized that you had a gift with music and when did you decide that this was something you wanted to pursue?

When beat making and writing became fun and i could not keep track of time because i was either writing or checking out new sounds and drums

I started both at the golden age of thirteen but it didn’t get serious until about 17

9. What is your stance on the digital vs. analog debate as far as gear?

I feel it is what you were brought up using and where your skill set it better

I’ve seen and heard good and bad it’s all in how you use your equipment to me

10. What is your stance on the e-digging vs. vinyl debate?

Well i think it’s more on the records you are looking for and the kind of sound you want

While e-digging gives you an HQ sound vinyl give you that grimy feel and you can replicate that with a digital copy

11.What is the local scene like In Detroit, we are both from there but iI reside just outside Grand Rapids tho?

The local scene in the city has anything you are looking for hip-hop gospel jazz edm all that good stuff

12.Does the local scene affect your creative process?

not really the people i work with and people who hear what i have to offer and i usually try to keep a little of everything if possible

13.What is your creative process as an MC and Producer?

well to be honest and this will sound kinda lame but i usually watch some super sentai (which is the  Japanese source material for power rangers) kamen  rider and play with some drum patterns snares and chops and the magic just happens

and when i am emceeing it’s just my mood lol you can hear it in my verses if im angry or in a good mood

14.What does your lab setup consists of not to give away any classified secret weapons and also how has it changed over the years?

Lol man I don’t hide anything but right now I just use my laptop and my beats by dre headphones and and mpd 18 and elbow grease

15.How do you define your sound and brand, what sets you apart from everyone else as a MC and Producer?

My sound has changed over time but now I am more classic hip hop now

16.What are some of you current projects and where can we find them?

Well I have a few things I am working  on  I have  my mix tape which  is  titled  after a Richard Pryor record “super nigga” and my coming beat tape #Shelia iktape

I don’t have many lol my biggest one would be that if you don’t want to grow or expand

19.How do you feel about the Detroit Vs Everybody Movement, it seems to be getting a mixed reaction with some of the veterans in the Detroit scene?

I feel is it an excellent movement I think that if it goes as well as I hope then a lot more talent will shine and Detroit will be back to what it is known for

20.With the exception of Dej loaf, Big Sean, DoughBoy Cashout, Clear Soul Forces , who do you see being the artist to give Detroit the most exposure when they get on?
