What’s the first thing you would say to someone when they ask you to describe yourself as a producer? 1st & foremost, I’d let anyone know a very important detail about me – I STRIVE to be DIFFERENT. Everything about my music & about who I am as a person revolves around me being unique, daring, & original. So with that in mind, I want to change the repetitiveness & the ever-so-lame radio play. Focusing on true music appreciation, real lyricism, & getting ya music out there to be sold/bought, & do it the RIGHT way, not the easy way.

How long have you been in the industry? I’ve been producing since my junior year in High School, but I wasn’t “put on” until a break came my way a few years ago. Word of mouth spreads fast, & before I knew it, I had many jobs, collabs, and features in a few states. Four years of serious grindin’ can do that for your love of music or anything.

What Inspires Your Music? Jesus & my mother’s love & strong determination for her son to be somebody in this music world drives & leads me every step of the way – period. & I made a promise to her before she left this world that I intend to keep. Then, life experiences comes first as inspiration when any music of mine is involved. I’ve been both blessed & fortunate to have either had or have certain people on my journey that kept my mind on not to give up. But even Read the full story

There’s an arms race going on, and it could mean disaster for your waistline.

But this terrifying competition to build the biggest, scariest weapons of mass destruction isn’t happening between the United States and Russia, or on the Korean peninsula, or among angry rivals somewhere in the Middle East. It’s happening between America’s restaurants—every one of them, it seems, is eager to show it has the biggest, scariest, most destructive new food in the marketplace. And the unsuspecting victims of this Strangelovian contest? You and me.

See, even the most well-established restaurant chains can’t rest on their laurels, serving the same old standbys that we’ve loved since we were kids. They have to keep us interested and attracted with shiny new bells and whistles. And since no one has invented, say, a new kind of potato, they’ve got to go with the next best thing: gimmicky entrees with terrifyingly complicated ingredient lists and rapidly expanding serving sizes. It wasn’t enough that pizza makers started putting cheese inside the crust! Kentucky Fried Chicken saw that and ramped up its own destructive powers, by making a sandwich in which the bread is replaced by slabs of fried chicken. Then a few major league ballparks started serving their burgers on doughnuts instead of buns. What’s next: fried Fluffernutter franks?

Almost. Take a look at what’s being whipped up in the labs of the mad fast-food scientists, compliments of the upcoming Eat This, Not That! 2011 book, and be afraid—be very afraid!

“Im a very diverse rapper. I sing and rap. My styles vary from slow to very fast, complicated word placement and hard timing mixed with my singing the hooks.
