How did you first get into music?
Originally I began freestyling, writing verse when I was around ten or eleven, my brother was a DJ in the area he developed me into a lyricist. I began rapping at like nine and writing poems around eleven years old. My brother Sun Mu Allah wrote and produced songs he was a DJ.
What is the first song that captured your attention as a youngster?
Probably some Tupac or Wu-Tang, ‘Sugar Hill’ by AZ.
Who influenced your latest release ‘Magik’?
‘Magik’ was mostly influenced by life’s ever trying and changing circumstances. The beat was tilted ‘Magic from the Paperfall Bros’, I ran wit, the struggle influenced it, perseverance influenced it.
You have released a number of tracks in 2020, which is your favourite?
For me, it’s ‘Endless Pain’, but I love them all honestly. ‘Magik’, ‘Problems’, and a couple of unreleased tracks as well.
What motivates you to make music?
I make music because I am an instrument myself. I receive vibrations, and in return, I manifest vibrations back into my environment (the world) thru making music. I am motivated by life to communicate my life to the world; music allows me to do so.
As an independent artist, what are the biggest challenges you face?
As an INDEPENDENT and I stress INDEPENDENT artist because I do everything or execute the needed operations and communications to have everything done from having album covers done to recording my songs to finding beats and releasing my music.
