1. How did you get your artist/group name?
It was a name given to me by peers as a youth. I later gave it a meaning when I saw an interview with KRS1 (which means RHYMES EQUAL ACTUAL LIFE).
2. How long have you been in the music game?
I have been doing this since a child but I started taking it serious about 5 years ago.
3. Who are your major influences in your music?
Honestly, it's not who but what. I take life experiences and express it through music.
4. Where are you from?
Born and raised in the Bronx, I have traveled many places though.
5. Who do you have featured on your album/mixtape?
My first mixtape only featured my brother F Dot but I am working on a new project now.
6. How did you get into music?
Music has always been in my family. My father and uncle were apart of the Furious 5 so I have always been around it. I decided to start doing music seriously when I saw people were taking me serious and it was no longer a hobby.
7. What is your next upcoming project/performance and when??
My next project is called "Never Too Late" and I will not be performing until I start the campaign for that project. I do a concert every two months with my partner K. Gorden called THE MAIN EVENT but I don't perform. It's for artist on their grind and we support and honor what they are doing.
8. Who would you like to work with that you haven't already?
I am working with everyone I would like to work with on the Never Too Late project (producers & artist) I cannot release the names because I want it to be a surprise to the public. (lol)
9. Who is your favorite artist/group?
Lauryn Hill and Jay-Z are my favorite artist because of the music and good business sense.
10. What is your favorite song on your album/mixtape?
Right now I would have to say "She Bad" which features another well known female rapper.
11. What motivates you?
My desire to make my mark in this world. I want to leave a legacy for my family when it is all said and done.
12. What is your album/mixtape title & when is the release date (if available where)?
Never Too Late and it is expected to be released in February
13. What would you like to see from the music industry in the next three years?
I would honestly like to see diversity in the industry. It's like once they have a formula it is hard to break away from that.
14. In three words; describe your personality?
I am ambitious
15. In three words; describe your music?
Breath of fresh air....ok that was four but you get the point lol
16. How does your family & friends feel about your music and your choice of career?
My family & friends are very supportive of my decision and some of them are even fans of my music.
17. Do you have any affiliations (label/team)?
I have strong ties with several people in music, IAMDANETWORK, DAMATRIXSTUDIOS, LIVINDEADENT, IGRIND, SOFTTOUCHENT, HOODLIFEMOVEMENT just to name a few.
18. What does music mean to you?
Music is a form of expression and it gives me a chance to do just that. It is also a means to an end so I hope to do great business as well as put out music people can relate to.
19. What advice would you give another artist/group?
Keep grinding because people are only going to do for you what you are willing to do for yourself. It's not just about talent anymore.
20. What can we expect from you in the future?
THE MAIN EVENT is growing rapidly so expect more concerts. The new mixtape and a few other business venues coming really soon.
