Congratulations on the completion and release of your debut album "Beginning of a Legend". What does the album's title represent to you?
The album title represents the long road ahead for me to becoming a legend in this game. I have studied all the Hip Hop greats and know what it takes to become a legend, and I am ready for the long haul and will continue to work hard to achieve that status.
You've mentioned that you only began writing rhymes in 2019. Tell us about your progression as an artist from that time to now with your debut album dropping.
Wow, where can I start? I have always had a passion for Hip Hop since I was 7 years old. When I first started, I wasn’t too sure of myself and therefore started by working with another artist, then I realized I had to do a solo project all on my own, and that’s when I decided to start working on my album.
My writing skills has improved as a result of that. I wrote all the lyrics within a period of 2 months and the challenge for me was for each track to sound different.
What are some things that inspire your creativity as an artist?
Current events, past experience, and some of the artist out right now.
Speaking of artists, of the ones you've listed as inspirations (Nas, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, XXXTentacion and Ski Mask The Slump God), if you could get any one of them on a collaborative track, who would you select?
It would definitely be Ski Mask the Slump God.
With this incredible album now released, what are some of your goals musically for the remainder of 2020?
To release my next album; the road to becoming a legend has officially begun.
