“I’m signed, on the label side to Internet Money and on the publishing side to APG.”What was your most memorable concert, did you perform at it?

“Haven’t done any concerts yet, It’d be dope doing a DJ set though.”What was your biggest challenge that you had to overcome during your music career, so far?

“Struggling with making what I’d like to make vs simplifying my beats and making stuff that’s easy for artists to use.”

“Got some crazy stuff on the way with Lilspirit, and my guy Tyfontaine!”What time of day do you make music, are you an early bird or are you up late?

“Mostly up late, just cause it’s tough to wake up early when I’m at the studio until the morning.”Do you prefer to listen to your own catalog of music or the radio?

“Both! It’s fire listening to stuff I’ve produced but sometimes it’s nice to vibe out to other shit too.”If you could pick one or the other what would you choose, the money or the fame?

“Gotta be the money.”If you could go back in time or in the future which one would you choose and why?

“I’d go to the future, I think it’d be crazy seeing what technological advances we’ve made.”
