4. What was your first rap name?
-Yung Bleu
5. Who all did you work with on "Game Changer"? -I'm still workin with ppl but some underground artist like T-Hood, my brother Guap, & Tay from 300 club. Production wise the main ppl are Dj plugg, 2 hot da producer, and @DamnCodyBeats
6. What is this mix tape going to bring to the game?
- A breath of fresh air! This aint normal Atlanta music im bringin to the table. I got a lil bit of everything on there from club bangers to street bangers, & something for the ladies!
7. How many names did you go through before you got to Game Changer?
-Just 1 "Fye" which stood for For Your Entertainment but i switched it cuz it just didnt fit the feel & energy i wanted for my debut mixtape.

9. If you weren't rapping what would you be doing?
- Honestly iono.. I set my mind on this at a young age so its really all i ever worked towards..
