Allbandz 1. Introduce yourself to the world. To the world I go by Laru Hunnits, originally from California currently in Las Vegas, one third of AllBandz alongside Tq The Leader & Rashad Rashad. 2. How long have you been a group for? What made all of you connect and want to come together and work together as one? We have been a group for about a year now and what made us want to come together is that we all had the same dream, which is basically to be young and successful. What made us connect is that we all shared a talent in doing music, which is what actually brought us together. 3. What do you do to connect with your fans online? How to do you keep them after your project is out? What we do and use as a group to connect to our fans is stay active on social medias like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and SoundCloud. Just to stay relevant but outside of social medias we like to take our talents around our local cities by doing shows making appearances and being everywhere the movement is. So basically, wherever that may be like an event or maybe an opening for a store. Maybe even at local convention shows. With our fans we keep a good connection with them by always maintaining productivity. In other words we keep putting music out. Always posting updates on what we’re doing as far as the next project. We also post what upcoming shows we have just to keep them listening and wanting more. laruhunnits @LaRuHunnits @Rashad_Rashad @TqTheLeader

Black lives matter Our lives matter We grow up knowing what we had, Eachother. Help! I say to you, bearing arms bending knees Desperate for at least one foot in. Bury our pride standing tall and firm WE need to keep control of what’s in front of us. BLACK LIVES MATTER Who am I too be scared walking the streets, listening to my guardian saying ‘be home before dark’. Knowing all strange things happen at night. What happens in the morning? That morning when he promised to be right back; ‘Don’t trip’. BLACK LIVES MATTER you are who you hang around Be a leader and stand out. Is it us our Black People are beautiful Portrayed as evil

The materialism, money, greed, and power got us African Americans confused. Power can control a heartless soul yet that same power and control took her brother Life. Blacks killing blacks what part of the game was that. Gangs supplying full time employment in these streets flooded with grams and rocks. Hustling loosing Our Black Lives. Black lives don’t matter in the hood. Go figure. The seniorities that “Protect Us” We look up too turned their backs on Our Black Lives. Life controls its desires The revenge is effortless watch the hood come together making sacrifices for our next Black generation. The street took the hearts of the deaf black-blinded minds Still there is war and no one is seeing this uproar. Following the Hearst knowing this was not the first tears shed in silence but you are still blind too BLACK LIVES MATTER

Untia Daun Bigelow Birthdate: January 21, 1978 | Age: 38

Untia started out her career with Barbizon modeling agency in Milford, De when she was just 16 years of age. She’s done fashion shows for Fashion Bug, local malls, church events, photo shoots for local photographers and advertisements. Untia has been modeling for more than 22 years long before she became a promoter. She started out singing gospel music at the age of 8 years old. Considered a child prodigy, her mother worked with some of the best talent in her area to help perfect her gift. She has sung all around the country and on the radio. Recorded with some of the best in the business. Unita performs mainly in her local area but she does have a project in the making and two songs that will drop exclusively with Twisted L. as well as a few other artist in the near future. Music is her first love. “I remember the very first song I heard by Donnie Hathaway titled “I’m Singing This Song For You” and at that moment I fell in love with the smooth rhythms, highs and lows, and acoustic beats all coming together to form the perfect song. Not only was it beautiful to hear, but it spoke to my heart”. Great music will always affect your very being like a song written by Rebecca Ferguson “Teach me How to be Loved”. This song speaks to the woman I am today and the man I want to love tomorrow”.

Education is her second love because, “As long as your breathing, you will never stop learning if you just open yourself up to the wisdom around you”. Untia’s ultimate goal is to gain her Doctorate degree in Human Services and Psychology. “You would not believe how many Americans are walking around with some form of mental illness. Depression, bipolar disorder, self esteem issues and phobias all affect the quality of one’s life. I know firsthand. My husband was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and severe (PTSD) Post Traumatic Stress disorder. He never knew peace while he was alive. I always pray that he has found peace in death”. In Untia’s spare time she enjoys writing poetry and short fictions. She hopes to have her first book, of collective poetry, published this fall. She earned her Bachelors in Organizational Management from Forbes Business School at Ashford University. She is working towards her Masters in Human Services from Kaplan University. “I have a sincere and genuine love for the wellbeing of those in my community and my country. By me gaining knowledge of ways to enrich, empower, educate and nurture my fellow man, i will be able to open a community center. We would offer help with job placement, offer education, and the learning of new skills such as art and music”.

Currently, Untia is a promoter for Sony artist, Twisted L A.K.A Leroy Sanders, a hip-hop rapping powerhouse, taking the scene by storm. Untia met Leroy Sanders about a year ago on social media and really loved the lyrics of some of his music. “At the time he was looking to get signed and was looking for help getting his name out. That is when I became a part of the awesome promotional team, A-Team promotions.” She had previous promotion experience due to taking up marketing in school as well as having done some marketing and promotion for her sister, a gospel-recording artist, Mrs. Angel Davis. “One of the things that really helped me in deciding to promote Twisted L was how driven he was and the level of dedication and work he put into his craft. The fact that he has a dream is great. The talent is there, which is a plus. Leroy has that drive that will take him to the top”. Her favorite saying is “Strive to be uniquely different and set apart for being you is amazing and freeing all around.” “I believe that to be the best promoter I have to believe in the artist that I am promoting not just in the quality of their music but in the music that’s in their heart because that is what defines a true artist. It’s my goal to help artist build a fanbase that not only will listen today, but will continue to follow them for years to come”.

Bigg Jigg became sovereign of his newly found career and continuously carries vigorous ambition which led him to B.E.T 106 & Park’s Freestyle Friday where he was reigning champion for 4 consecutive weeks. With Bigg Jigg’s name already ringing in the streets alongside one of his many accomplishments, his exposure and fan base continually excels rapidly. Since his appearance on B.E.T’s 106 & Park Freestyle Friday, Bigg Jigg toured over 40 cities and graced numerous magazine covers such as Ozone, Rap Pages, Urban Grind and XXL just to name a few. He then became fortuitous to have appeared on mixtapes including but not limited to DJ Drama and DJ Smallz. He also has appeared on numerous radio shows globally, and multiple television shows such as the former show called “Rapcity in the Basement” on B.E.T and VideoCity where his fan base and exposure became even

more Amplified. Bigg Jigg’s main focus was to give the streets and the industry what’s missingoriginality and eclectic flavor where he projected blood, sweat and tears, and forthcoming. Bigg Jigg’s prominence led him to do songs with TPain, Gucci Mane, Tyrese, Akon, Nelly Furtado and Yung Joc; just to brief you of his progress to run with the best. He opted to not only remain conversion but relational. His diligence landed him a digital distribution deal that’s forming him to be in the proximity of what we call “The Million Dollar Mouth Piece”. In addition to his music, Bigg Jigg has landed a video on MTV JAMZ and has established his management and production business called “Go 2 Man Publishing” and “ Talk2EmJigg “ which he has adhered to bring to the forefront. He carries aspirations of mentoring other up and coming artists, as well as, creating a legacy that formulates the inevitable.

g g o D p o e o n m S a G e h &T July 17th, 2016 was a monumental day in the brutal city of Los Angeles, where a long history of gang violence and police brutality has occurred. Multiplatinum recording artist â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snoop Dogg and The Gameâ&#x20AC;? would be a pivotal force in the fight against violence, not only in Los Angeles area but also all over the United States.

The idea of asking local gangs and their leaders to look at the bigger picture, the betterment and safety of an entire community, and put down their weapons was ground breaking and breath taking with all the violence that in sued over the past year alone. The Game even took to his social media to enlist the help of other Los Angeles residents, community leaders and organizations. Were they advocates for peace now? We haven’t seen this often and it was very reminiscent of gangsta rap pioneers N.W.A’s mission, to draw attention to the very same issue in the late 80s & early 90s. Fed up with the back to back killings of unarmed men like Alton Sterling, Orlando Castile and many others, not excluding the Dallas Texas police officers, Game wrote that the meeting would be a “much needed conversation”, about how participants could do their part to stop urban violence. “Because the sad truth that no one wants to face is, before we can get OUR LIVES TO MATTER to anyone else…We have to show that OUR LIVES MATTER to US!!” - The Game In efforts to confront city officials about the ongoing police violence in Los Angeles, Game and Snoop put out their very own call to action. Soliciting all local rival gangs and gang leaders, to come together for a peaceful meet at the Los Angeles Community center (Church of Scientology) in collusion with Operation H.U.N.T (Hunt U /Hunt Us Not Today) billing it “TIME TO UNITE” to sign a cease fire peace treaty between local Blood and Crip gangs. Thanks to the

respected Los Angeles natives and rappers Snoop, Game and community leaders like Tony Muhammad, Ben Owens and Michael “Big Mike” Cummings the meeting went off peacefully. Game, attempting to offer perspective on the severity of the situation, said to the sea of onlookers, “Your life should mean more to you, than what you’re showing.” After Snoop Dogg and The Game brought everyone together at the community center, they led a march and rally to the Los Angeles Police Department for a peaceful demonstration. At that very same time the LAPD new officers graduation was being held. “To me and many others this was the perfect time! I suppose that with LA’s history of violence and riotous behavior against the transgressions against minority communities they expected Los Angelinos to react the same way Dallas did, but never the less they came together in an unprecedented fashion”. Various leaders spoke sharply and at length about the plights in their communities, spanning the whole of Los Angeles County. “Dr. Martin King Jr. would have been proud”, LAPD police chief chimed in at the graduation. He stated, “This was not about black lives , brown lives or blues lives but about American lives!” Also At the helm of this symposium was Minister Farrakhan, who true to form gave a very fiery and moving speech on becoming better role models for the youth and people in their own communities. The turn out was wonderful and the energy was beautiful. The people at the rally were united as anticipated and we can thank gangstas, advocates, Snoop Dogg and The Game for that.

Dave East David Brewster Jr. is an American rapper from Eat Harlem, New York. He is better known by his stage name, “Dave East”. East had a love for basketball early in his life however his heart was into writing rhymes and using them to keep him above everything around him. After transferring from the University of Richmond, he got the opportunity to play in the “Amateur Athletic Union” with future NBA players Ty Lawson, Kevin Durant, and Greivis Vasquez at Towson University. He gained attention from the NBA

but chose to focus on his music. East first mixtape titled “Change of Plans” gave him little to no recognition. He continued to push and show his commitment to music by dropping other mixtapes such as “Insomnia”, “American Greed”, “Don’t Sleep” and “No Regrets”. He signed with Mass Appeal Records and now has features with Pusha T, Jadakiss, Nas, Style P, and many more. Dave East was crowned in the 2016 XXL magazine’s annual “ Freshman Class” pick.

...don’t let things come between your dream

Strike

1.Why did you choose the music route? I chose the music route because music was my first love from the first time I saw it as a piano player. It’s been apart of me since I was young. I have pursued it vocally and dominantly by not only playing piano, but by using my vocals and background vocals. Leads have become solid. I am blessed with good eyesight and a good ear. 2. Do you feel R&B is the same today as it was 15 years ago? Absolutely not. It hasn’t been the same, what we call R&B, in about 30 years. True R&B quality, with harmonies and background vocals, had more meaning than they do now. Song ballads, soul music and funk have changed, predominantly becoming more up-tempo and are going in a different direction.

Record Label Sharp Records City and State: Los Angeles, California.

3. Tell fans about your current single your promoting? Presently I am promoting, “For Your Love” on Sharp Records, released February 16th of this year. Hoping to get more airtime across the country so it gets heard more. I aim to put out songs that people can understand and love, something with more meaning nowadays. 4. Is there any advice you can offer to up and coming artists trying to make a name for themselves? I’d say to stay focused and believe in yourself. Work hard and don’t let things come between you and your dream because it is your heartbeat to the music. Practice, practice, practice…

I’m not the greatest, I’m the double greatest.

Tae Bleezie

Who is Tae Bleezie? The 26 year old handicap rapper and founder of YAPP CITY Entertainment from the Bronx, also known as the self-proclaimed 2CrutchBandit, who made a name for himself through his stage presence and lyrical expertise.

When did you discover music was for you? Believe it or not I actually knew music was for me since I was 6yrs old. I remember being a kid rapping and repeating the lyrics to every song I heard and whenever I heard a beat I instantly started putting words together.

Networking is the key.

What is the YAPP CITY Movement? Well let me start from the beginning. YAPP began as a word that I accidently blurted out in my “Lookin Ass Handicaps Remix”. My older brother was playing the song one day and when we heard it we both immediately decided that it was going to be our movement. I was the rapper and my brother was an illustrator. He designed our first official t-shirts for my first live performance. I recently relocated and started YAPP CITY Entertainment, an indie record label based in South Carolina. “YAPP CITY. It’s Not Just Music, Its A Movement.” What strategy did you use to win both competitions? My strategy was very simple. It was all about support. I went to the people who have always supported me and I made them feel more than included. This wasn’t just my competition, but theirs as well. I also used social media as a major outlet. Word of mouth is a powerful tool. I shared with my friends and they shared with theirs. Networking was the key. Why did people assume your page and votes were fake? I honestly don’t know. I just assumed it was because I came out of nowhere and quickly rose to the top of the polls. I TaeBleezie

2crutchbandit

couldn’t really sweat it too much though because team YAPP CITY came through and immediately shut them down with hashtags and their own personal words for anyone who came for me. What reaction did you get from other artist in the contest? In the beginning of the contest it seemed like their reactions were pretty normal. Then as I began to climb up the polls I sensed a little bit of envy, some hate and nervousness. But I already knew that came with competitions, so it was easy to shake it off. At the end of it all I’ve made some new friends and fans. How are you gaining your buzz on social media? By staying consistent with my music and constantly talking to my fans as well as getting to know as many new artists as I can. Another way I generate buzz is by always using my signature hashtags like my #2CrutchBandit or #2CrutchSalute and of course #YAPPCITYEntertainment. The indie market is really big and you never know who you might meet. It’s okay to be a fan of a fan because support breeds support. What are you working on right now? I’m currently getting ready to release my new mixtape titled “Sorry 4Got My Cape”, which is scheduled to drop late August or early September, exclusively on the Spinrilla.com website. And immediately following that two more projects that will be released in 2017 titled “The Blacc & Mild Files” and “NEW YAPP CITY 2: The Sound of The Crutches”. taebleezie

Black

It be hard to understand me ‘cause my jaw keep lockin’

19-year-old Dieuson Octave, better known by his stage name “ Kodak Black”, is an American rapper born June 11, 1997 in Pompano Beach, Florida. His parents were immigrants from Haiti. He grew up in the “ Golden Acres”, a public housing project located in Pompano Beach. Kodak Black started out using the name “Black” at the age 6. It wasn’t until he signed up for Instagram when he came up with the more people friendly name, “Kodak Black”. In 2013 Kodak Black dropped his first mixtape titled “ Project Baby”. Then later he released “ Heart of the Projects” in 2014 and in the same year he started working towards his high school diploma. In 2015, “Institution” was released and Canadian rapper Drake posted a video dancing to one of Kodak’s single “Skrt” in which increased his fan base. In October of 2015, Dieuson Octave was charged with robbery, battery, false imprisonment of a child, and possession of cannabis. Kodak Black and XXL freshman Lil Uzi Vert partnered for a national tour called “Parental Advisory Tour”, however Kodak Black never appeared on the tour. Rappers Boosie Badazz and Chief Keef inspire him. His latest project out now is called “Lil B.I.G. Pac”, which became his first mixtape that landed on Billboard’s top 50 placing number 49 on the top R&B/ Hip-Hop albums and number 18 on the Heatseakers albums chart. Currently Kodak Black was featured on French Montana single “LockJaw”, which reached number 23 on Billboard’s Hot R&B / Hip-Hop. The visual has over 25 millions views on Vevo. The single is now available for download on Itunes worldwide. In the summer of June 2016, Kodak Black was crowned one of XXL magazine’s Top 10 on their freshman list.

1.What can the world do as a whole to put an end to racism? In my honest opinion, there will never be a complete end to racism. Racism is a hatred that can only be taught by Parents or Anyone to children... No One Is Born Racist!!! If ignorant people cannot find something to hate on you for they will typically stereotype you by the “actions” of your race. There has to be a Unity of sorts to accomplish True Peace and that’s why I work so hard to educate my Sons to work together at everything they do. You cannot make everyone like you but if you work hard there is less room for people to be able to display hate towards you. YOUR Smile is your haters worst enemy!!! 2.What are you doing to increase the peace in your community? As an artist, I make positive, motivating music that people of all ages can dance & relate to. I truly strive on making positive moves daily performing kind, selfless deeds and always remaining humble in hopes that people will see it and reflect my actions. Changing the world one day at a time.

3.What type of support will Donald Trump receive from Black Lives Matters and the Hip Hop community? None. He has supporters here and there and that’s their decision. The #BLM Movement will not stop until justice is served for the many black lives lost. Trump ain’t bout to do that. Hip Hop say huge advances and Unity under OUR POTUS Barack Obama, not bc of his ethnicity or personal music preferences, but by proving to every young black male that if you work hard you can become the POTUS. That encouraged not only African American youth and elders, but ALL American ethnicities can achieve what was once said to be impossible. Donald Trump is a businessman so we all know the number one priority of a business... $$$ 4.How is the black lives movement affecting politics? Honestly I don’t see it having an effect on politics. Pres. Obama took time to address the senseless killings of the innocent lives taken but the news and social media would rather turn the focus to the innocent police lives taken. #BLM is about justice for the families of those slain. They are NOT responsible for the police lives taken, those are the individuals who have either had enough or want to incite riots and Marshall Law. Enough blood has been shed...We Just Want JUSTICE!!! 5. Does the rap song “FTD” by YG & Nipsey Hussle reflect the black community feelings towards trump? Short and Sweet...YES!!! 6. You stated, “ I’m a JR. King with a dream, out here trying to give a speech”. What would your speech be to bring everyone together? 2 wrongs don’t make a right, 3 lefts do. Knowledge is the richest way to make it outta poverty. You should never hold a grudge longer than you can hold your breath underwater. Rome wasn’t built in a day, neither was America so rebuilding is gonna take some time. We can never be a true Community without Unity and Remember...You’ll never need Payback if you Pay It Forward.

7. We see you are apart of the “ Put down the guns and pick up your Son” movement in your city. Can you enlighten us on who they are and what they do and how long you been down with the movement? “Put Down Your Guns Pick Up Your Son’s” is a movement started by Clint Collins and Studio 618 in E. STL. I was invited in 2015 by a good friend and mentor of mine Shelly Hernandez, Owner of Demo Spin Radio “Where Everyone Deserves 2 B Heard” who was hosting interviews at the event. She asked me to come out and co-host. The event is a kid friendly day to get parents and children together and enjoy themselves in a positive, uplifting, and safe environment. Artists from all around the US, Independent and National artists come to support the movement. It offers great networking opportunities, positive people in an amazing atmosphere. I was invited back this year to perform and there were no question in my mind... I had to be part of something this great. 8. Any ADVICE on how to keep all the young kids off the streets and in school? I would just encourage them to always educate themselves. Encourage them to be a part of community events such as local sports, open mics for young motivated artists. Possibly create specific events for young people to help them keep busy, safe, focused, and off the streets. Just because you are raised in te streets doesn’t mean you have to die in them as well. Never stop being different, Never give up on your goals and dreams. Take it from me... IT CAN HAPPEN!!!

Martin Luther King Jr How did he encourage communities On January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia Reverend Michael King Sr. and wife Alberta Williams King. Birthed an established leader Martin Luther King Jr. Legally King and his father birth name was Michael King, although in 1934 King Sr. took a trip to Germany to attend the fifth Baptist World Alliance Congress in Berlin. Where his King Sr. decided to change both his and King Jr. Name to Martin Luther in honor of the German reformer Martin Luther. IN 1944, at the age of fifteen, Martin Luther King Jr. was known as a precocious child, skipping the ninth and eleventh grade. He then gained entrée at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia. He became a popular student, but into the first two years of his education, King Jr. got distracted and

unmotivated. He questioned religion and felt uncomfortable with overly emotional displays of religious worship. In his Junior Career he decided to take a bible class, renewing his faith and began to shape his life in the career of ministry following in his father’s leadership. In the Fall of Martin Luther King Jr’s senior year, he expressed his decision with his father. King earned a sociology degree in 1948 from Morehouse College and attended the liberal Crozer Theological seminary in Chester, Pennsylvania. He thrived in his studies earning a fellowship for graduate study and became valedictorian of his class. During his last year at Morehouse College President Benjamin E. Mays came a guidance who influenced King’s spiritual development. Mays was a direct

advocate for racial equality. May’s encouraged King to view Christianity as a potential force for social change. After receiving acceptance letters from several colleges for his doctoral study including Yale and Edinburgh in Scotland, King made the choice of attending Boston University. Martin Luther King Jr was working on his doctorate when he met Coretta Scott. Coretta Scott was an aspiring singer and musician, at the New England Conservatory School in Boston. The couple married in June 1953 and had four children named Yolanda, Martin Luther King III, Dexter Scott and Bernice. While working on his dissertation in 1954, King became pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church of Montgomery, Alabama. At the age of twenty-five, Martin Luther King Jr completed his PH.D. And was awarded his degree in 1955. Martin Luther King Jr became an American Baptist minister and activist leader in the African- American Civil Rights Movement. His tactics was the enlightenment of how to promote peace and unity through peaceful marches and protest. In 1955 of March 2, pregnant fifteen year old Claudette Colvin was the first African American who refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery city bus. In violation of local law. Ms. Colvin was arrested and taken to jail. The NAACP thought about testing the Montgomery’s segregated bus policy but because she was pregnant civil rights leader feared the scandal of the deeply religious black community thus, making Colvin less credible in the eyes of sympathetic whites. Later that year in December forty- two year old Rosa Parks Boarded the Cleveland Avenue bus exhausted from work she sat in the first row of the colored section in the middle of the bus. As the bus routed the designated white seats filled up and several white men boarded the bus. The bus driver demanded that Ms. Parks and several other African-

Americans give up their seats. As three African- Americans immediately gave up their seats. Ms. Parks remained seated after refusing a second time Ms. Rosa Parks was arrested and booked for violating the Montgomery City Code. In a 30- minute trail Parks was found guilty and fined $10 and assessed a 4$ court fee. NAACP President E.D. Nixon met with Martin Luther King Jr and other local Civil Rights Leaders to plan a nationwide bus boycott. In 1955 King was elected to lead the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The Montgomery Bus Boycott would consist of 382 days of walking to work, harassment, violence and intimidation for the Montgomery’s African- American community. Both E.D. Nixon and Martin Luther King Jr. took legal action against the city ordinance arguing that it was unconstitutional based on the Supreme Court’s “separate is never equal” decision in Brown V. Board of Education. After battling several court rulings the city of Montgomery lifted the law mandating segregated public transportation. In Accomplishment Martin Luther King helped coordinate the Southern Christian Leadership Conference January of 1957, alongside with Ralph Abernathy and 60 ministers and civil rights activists. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference was to harness the moral authority and organizing power of black churches. The conference would conduct non- violent protest to promote civil rights reform. The organization knew that the best place to give AfricanAmericans a voice was to enfranchise them into the voting process. He also helped organize the 1963 non- violent protests in Birmingham, Alabama March in Washington, where he delivered the famous “I Have a Dream” speech. On August 28th 1963 Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights protestors and supporters marched to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. where he announced his legendary “I Have a Dream speech”.

Growing up on the California Hip Hop scene Young Retro paid close attention to his surrounding and began learning everything rapidly. As time went on, Young Retro began writing his own lyrics and started recording them in Los Angeles, California. I grew up listening to Notorious B.I.G, and I’ve always enjoyed how smooth he sounded while rapping,” said Young Retro”. In Middle School this kid was already famous at his school and around his community. Young Retro says “ Teachers would ask him about his next song instead of his next assignment”. He got the opportunity to perform at assemblies in front of the whole school after a staff heard him rap for the first time. Since this, Young Retro’s been signing autographs ever since.

Exclusive interview with The Untouchable AD2 What is your opinion of Donald Trump? And how would you feel if he became president? My opinion is based on the fact that Donald Trump is very successful and good with money. If he were to be elected, I would be excited to see what he would do considering his business skills. What is your opinion on a Caucasian rapper using the N word? Caucasian or not, if two people are addressing one another with that word there is and should be no problem.

What is racism like in your state, being that you’re from a predominantly white state according to the Census Bureau? Racism is largely in Arizona due to the fact that Maricopa County incarcerates the most people in the United States. It is because of this that a lot of prison politics, which is a different way to say racism, are everywhere inside and outside the system. I personally do not like racism due to the fact that it separates instead of unites. What’s your opinion on the #BlackLivesMatter movement?

I do not agree with the black lives matter movement because life matters, lives matter and it does not make a difference whether you put an adjective before it or after it. It causes serious separation in the general population. What are you doing today so that your kids don’t have to grow up in a racist world? I have three children, two sons and one daughter. I teach them that no man or woman boy or girl adult or child is any better due to what they look like as far as skin or ethnic background.

When I compare myself to any artist I believe I will surpass them and go further in my career.

How did you feel when Macklemore won the Grammy award for Best Rap Album over Kendrick Lamar? Do you think Macklemore robbed him as he said in the text he sent to Kendrick? I do not agree with Macklemore being any better than Kendrick Lamar. Regardless of whatever messages were sent between the two. That’s how I feel. Why do you think Record labels give Caucasian artist a bigger budget for their music videos than African American artist? Well first of all I don’t think record labels give Caucasian artists a bigger budget because I don’t know the statistics of dark skinned American rappers to light skinned American rappers. If they do however, I would consider it wrong from my point of view because it’s separating, and can cause more hatred between skin colors.

What is something the world can do to end segregation and unite? To work together towards the same goal. To live together in relative peace and harmony making the world a better place. One of my philosophies in life and music is this,” Through The Eyes of a humble child, we will realize true equality.” Do you feel race plays a huge role in the music industry? If so why? Yes and no. It all depends on the listener in my opinion.

myself to any artist I believe I will surpass them and go further in my career. If you could follow in the footsteps of one activist, who would it be and why? Martin Luther King because he was a man from the people and for the people, whose outlook and point of view was based off of his belief in God and not the opinions of men.

Eminem made it possible for Caucasian rappers to make a name for themselves. Do you think you will ever be as great as Eminem? No I believe that I will be far greater than Eminem despite what other people may think he did. Whether he opened the door or not doesn’t matter to me. When I compare

Advice for Young Artist: Just a thought…Young artists starting out in the music business...Feel with your soul, sing from deep within your heart. Music is about dedication to yourself, your music and also your fans. It’s what you put into music and the lyrics and how you present it to your fans. Feel it and embrace it. Communication is the key to success. Yes, it can be a long hard struggle, but it’s what you put into it and at the end when you finally make it It’s worth the time, energy, and struggle.
