What inspired me to get involved in the music
industry:
For me, believe it or not, began
with poetry. In the 6th grade I learned about it in English and I quickly
linked it to rap music and started to study the structure of lyrics in relation
to poetry. To make a long story short, and to identify specifically what
brought me into the industry were the streets. A lot of my childhood was spent
witnessing violence, inside and outside of the home. This was often over senseless
things. Along the way I met some pretty intelligent people, who just needed a
chance to shine. I knew a 40-old O.G. who said that he only wished he could
have continued his education in his youth, but had no other choice but to
hustle to support his family. This lead to him being charged and unable to
pursue an education due to the government not providing funding for convicts to
get an education. I believe at that moment, that's when i felt that i got to
help the streets strive and prosper. All the streets know is music, sports, and
hustle, and not all of them are criminals in my eyes. At that point forward I
knew that the music could get me away from the streets, and that if i could
help others do it as well and pursue a dream and live that dream then that's
what I'm destined to do.
