What is your profession?

Artist/ Creative

How did you get into the field that you are in today?

I always knew I was going to be a artist. I literally never wanted to be anything else! Music is and always been my peace! When I was in 1st grade my uncle was rapping and had all the studio equipment in my room! So that gave it a boost. At first everybody thought it was just a phase, but i perfected my craft and studied the game now look ! I’m not where I want to be but I’m almost there.

What do you love most about your profession?

It’s either the recording process or the releasing process. I write a lot so when I go to the studio I’m usually in & Out ! I would rehearsed days before my session so it wouldn’t be any time wasted! The critics is why I would say the releasing process. I love criticism, if you can’t take criticism, you are in the wrong field! It’s gonna be love hate and everything in between!

Tell us more about what you do?

I’m a All Around Entertainer, For 5 years I recorded my own music and made my own beats, along with the graphic art! I’m getting ready to start my clothing line “Cordial”, working on starting my label.
It’s a list of things I can name. I mentor a-lot of artists in my area. That’s probably the biggest thing. Coming from Mississippi, The goal is to make it out, so I go hard at everything I do!

When did you discover that you had a passion for this field?

When I was about 7/8 years old ! I use to go to school with a notebook full of written raps and would rap everyday after lunch. By 13 I was recording myself passing demo cds out around the school. It’s 2022 now and I have 7 projects out and each project gets better and better with time.

Who in your field do you look up to inspire to be like or admire and why?

Lil Wayne because he Multitalented!! He’s not one dimensional! Young Thug !! Free Jeffery and Sergio (Gunna)! Ima Weirdo so when Thug hit the scene with “Stoner” I knew he was finna change the game. I Gotta make a impact like them guys fasho, that’s who inspire me. Ima f*** the game up, It’s a must. I’m a Real Weirdo!

None of us would be where we are today if it wasn’t for some form of mentorship or free game being dropped on us. What gems do you have to give to someone looking to get into your field?

Consistency is the key! Never Give Up!
If you gon do something, Do it to the fullest.
Don’t be half-stepping! Every time you write a record or hit the booth, Picture it been your last time doing it. Make it count! It’s alright to bump your head though, just make sure you learn every lesson. Don’t be afraid to fall, get up and go harder!

Where are you from?

Collins Mississippi

How was it growing up? Was it always or were there struggles? What are some of the struggles you had to overcome?

The same as any hood I feel. It’s small so everybody know everybody! Everybody got their struggles but we made the best out of it.
Single mother with two boys, it was real but mama made it happen. The typical hood life!
I had to change schools every other year due to family reasons and that had an effect on my life. I had to deal with anxiety, favoritism, all that good s***! My homeboys passing away hit the hardest, the guys always was my biggest support plus I’m a Introvert so I had to overcome everything that come with it!

How important is family and friend support? Do they support your business?

In the beginning it’s everything! All a child want is to see their family/friends digging/accepting what they doing. Overtime it get personal, Family may lose faith, Friends may say you’re waisting your time. At the end of the day you doing it for YOU! It done been times where I got no love with this music. I took that and made it motivation! You don’t need nobody but GOD

What would you tell a younger you about life?

Everything is business, nothing is personal.
You’re on the right track already just go harder, everything you doing is going to pay off! Just keep going !

Who inspired you growing up and why?

Every artist that was on 106 & Park, I was fan of entertainment! I seen the Lil Wayne Wave, Soulja Boy, Young Thug. All of them guys inspired me in a way.
