Raunchy wanted to get to know the artist better so we asked him a little bit about himself. In the end of this interview you will find this artists contacts.

Hope you enjoy as much as we did !

How old are you?

I'm 23 years of age

Where are you from?

I was born in Virginia , but I grew up in Queens, New York and been traveling back and forth from Norfolk va.

Has your city had any effect on your music?

Yes it only motivates me to go harder , there isn't much support here and it's a crab in a bucket mentality. I'm a rebel tho so I'm going to always go against the odds!

How supportive is your city towards your music?

It's a love hate relationship I have very loyal supporters that believe in me and my vision and fight for it. There is also a side that doesn't.Not because they don't believe but because of the fear of what may happen if I ascend before they do ...

When did you start?

I've always been a creator and a fan of music , I started off producing before rapping and song writing , even video editing but since 8th grade I started producing officially and freshmen year where I took a chance to pursue rapping and being a artist but not seriously till after high school ! Since a youngin while others wanted toys I asked for cassette tapes and CDs so it's always been around...

Who's your favorite artist ?

That's a hard question but what started the spark oddly would be curre$y , when he was dropping mixtapes every month for a year straight after leaving young money and before Xxl freshmen cover . But today I'm inspired by all types of artist and genres . Future , uzi , you name it I fuck with everything even rock defintetly rock...

Who are your biggest influences ?

Sounds cliche but pharrell Williams , clipse, Hot boys is at the top of my list tho but our child hood music and era etc...

And not just the music but more importantly for what they stood for and their stories that got them to where they are now in life!

What do you hope to get from this ? What is your main goal? a deal, fame, or is this just for fun?

When I was younger I chased money and the fame but I learned through experiences and a new walk of life none of that matters. See everybody wants fame but a lot of these people are still broke and living a facade "FAKE". My goal now is to of course make money off of what I love but more importantly to have an effect on the youth and people from all walks of life with my creativity and words !

Talk to us about your image ?

Ha where do I start let's say it's very futuristic and fashion forward even if you don't see it now you will get it later ... I love vintage and raunchy stuff with a twist of clean and editorial feel ....

Do you have any projects,videos,coming soon. What's in the works? What should people be looking out for?

I have a few singles I'm releasing soon two of them produced by sladedamonsta who produced super sayion and all my chains for uzi...and have tracks recording for a full length project but still deciding on a name and how to market it .

Any other artists you're thinking about collaborating with or someone you've collaborated with already?

As of now no besides anyone on my team but of course I will work with those I cross paths with if its right. I've worked with and been around all these internet niggas and people that are in the industry low key ... I'm known for work I've done with vinny cha$e and asap mobs, asap ant and a few more underground artist. Shout out to that treezlowkey we are from the same area and have worked and have had a good relationship .
