| My dad was a little local DJ and my grandfather was a musician who played 7 instruments. So I was always around music at a young age. I wasn't connected in the industry but I just made a demo and it started to circulate thru circles and made it into the hands of Maseo of De La Soul. |

| I think I was born an artist but I started to find my voice like around 15 and realized this is what I want to do as a career. The beautiful thing about music, there's always a new possibility to explore. A new door to unlock, so I think there's always room to experiment, grow and learn. |

| Thanks man. It was surprisingly fast. It tool like 2 weeks to record all the songs and some of them like the Billy Crawford record and Popcorn records were songs I already had before starting the project. I just wanted to give people a full scope of what I can do as an artist and producer. It kinda brings you into the lifestyle, my point of view and the mash up of styles and genres that I get into and inspire me. I mean, I have the late great painter, Jean-Michael Basquiat, doing a poem towards the end. How many Hip Hop artists you know would put that on there mixtape? And there's actually songs I didn't include because I didn't want to overload people, so there will definitely be a part 2. |

| Each session is like painting with a different color. I'm like a music addict. I think I know just as much of the history of hip hop as I do the history of rock. And it's a lot easier when you have a foundation like that. So I can really get into all the nuances of that lane. You can tell I'm a fan of the genres I work in and just a "hey lets' do this because it's cool right now", or "let me try and get that fan base." |

| I'm in a constant state of gratitude for everything. I mean I've had people who didn't believe I'd make it this far so I'm already a success and every step I take forward is a blessing and I appreciate every new fan I gain. |

| I think hip hop is always morphing and changing. With that, fans of its previous incarnation will always feel like its dying or getting away from what they like. Hip Hop would really die if it stayed the same. That is the definition of death, the termination of growth. So if something stops growing and evolving it's dead. |

| I think so. I think now is about a direct connection with your fans. I think that wall of separation is no more. We all want to feel connected. |

| Creative genius is when you are able to push boundaries and make people think about things they've never thought about in the same way. |

| I just released the music video for my song "Wax On Wax Off" and it features the all female dance crew The Beat Freaks. The Reagan Babies EP is currently available on iTunes worldwide. I am also preparing my debut full length album for the fall. |
