With all the talent in Central Florida, Why do you Feel that an orlando artist has not bloWn up?

In my opinion and my opinion only; People need to smile on their haters & teach them to become innovators. The ones who are closer to being up there need to support the ones that are coming up and unfortunately there is little or no support. The best thing you can do is just love what you do and put your heart and soul into it. If the Lord says that’s the path you need to fol-low, then follow.

What Cd’s did you listen to in your Car today?

Well to be completely honest I listen to my own music. I listen to my songs….just to be straight up. I focus on making my craft better and trying to make the best music that I can make. Then I also focus on my street promo-tions because that helps market my music as well. In the end I want to build a brand so I’m branding myself & my team.

For all the beautiFul ladies oF orlando Who might be reading this artiCle, is sneek single?

(While laughing he spits out his drink.) I’m Available & Open for a great discussion…(Laughing) I’m single for the night and maybe tomorrow.

What promoters have you Worked With in orlando?

Well first of all, shout out to Moses (BigBeatz Ent), TalkofOrlando.com, Tony Khuu & a few oth-ers who will remain nameless…there’s a lot shady promoters in Orlando. But these are the ones that I deal with and they have always been REAL with me since day one.

as an artist, What artist are you inspired by Who has made a transition to businessman/artist?

I definitely like the move that Jay Z made from artist to full on businessman. I also like the move that little Wayne made with Young Money. He has an entire brand, the perfect combination of promotions & hip hop. You just have to respect power moves that are made in that fashion. It keeps me inspired; they really learned to balance both.

What do you say to people saying that artists like Jay Z, Who made that transition, are really sell outs?

(Laughs) They must be some broke people with no real vision or goals. That’s the only way they can

make themselves feel important.there are a lot oF artist Who Come out sounding the same, talking about the same topiCs. What separates you From other artists?

Well I’m not afraid to walk in my own skin. And sure there are a million people who walk & talk like me but my lyrics and my songs are for everyone who is a go-getter. Whether you get up in the morning and punch a clock, or go outside and hit the block, I have an experience to share with everyone. That’s the mind frame that I’m trying get across. We all have something to share.are there any shout outs that you Want to give?

God First…then Lens Photography, Esco & Glins from TalkofOrlando.com, Moses of Big Beatz & of course the Hustle4It family…I love yall!!!

tell orlando Who you are and What it is you do? (Rubbing his chin) Hmmm..Who am I? I guess

the verdict is still out. I’m still figuring that out myself and hopefully by the end of the article you all will have an idea of who I am. I started promot-ing and writing out in Memphis and decided to move out here and do my promo thing. When it comes to street promotions, everyone does it, but I try to be different and innovative. The first thing that people don’t realize about street promo is that it is something to be proud of. Many people say that it’s beneath them, but one thing I feel strong about is that if you give you all to something it will always make you successful. Whether I’m doing street promotions or laying down some tracks those are the words that I live by.

on the artist tip, Who have you Worked With in the orlando area?

(Laughs) Well of course my team “Hustle 4 It Entertainment”…I always stay true to that. I have also worked with producers like the Headliners, and a few other local produc-ers. I’m trying to work with any everyone in an effort to get music from Orlando in the mainstream…at least that’s what we are shooting for.
