1.Growing Up
I grew up in the ’70s, so that’s the music I heard around the house. My parents were average working class people. Music I picked up on my own.
2.Inspirations
It’s too many to name, but James Brown, Marvin Gaye and Earth, Wind & Fire are some of my faves that inspired me. Other than that, just everyday life keeps me inspired.
3.Your Crew
My foundation is D.I.T.C. and Organized Konfusion. I also have a new group with Apathy called Perestroika.
4.The Music You MakeAnd Play
Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane and Slick Rick. My releases are a timeline to my career. You’re going to have to see the show for yourself. Expect a classic performance in the form of two turntables and a mic.
5.Music, Right Here, Right Now
The game is in a transition right now. I listen mostly to R&B music. You have to study the past to be current and be different. I don’t go out too much. Haven’t seen any new artists as of late that have inspired me.
