Questions
What are some of your biggest influences?
J Dilla, Marvin Gaye, Sinatra, N.E.R.D., Zeppelin, Oh and D'angelo!
Sample based production or composition & why?
Currently I much rather sample just to capture a more acoustic sound. I'm not a fan of synthetic texture but for composition I use guitar synthetic texture far as the keyboard sounds these days. I like making the chops wavy.
Who are your favorite MC's right now? (Old & New)
Nas, DOOM, Cam, Bronson, Mos, Pusha personally. I know there are a lot but those are who I listen to the most.
What was the first hip hop album/song you ever heard?
OPP from my knowledge lol
What do you want to accomplish with what you're doing?
All I want is people to overstand that anything is possible through art. No bragging rights, no ego, just want people to figure out the big picture... and shout out to Big L another one of my favs I forgot to mention.
Anything else you'd like to add?
Basically as a musician all I can say is I know music. No matter what it may be I can figure out how to make it translate my feelings.
