Rookie Of The Month interview w/ @MoneyMakinNique
1. Where are you from?
- Springfield Massachusetts originally
2. What was the song that made you start rapping?
- It wasnt a song, my moms was an emcee and DJ. thats where i got it from
3. Did your upbringing influence your music in anyway?
- Yeah just grew up around music. it literally runs in the family so me getting into music was obvious. especially since I've been around it since I was born
4.What did your parents teach you?
- Me picking up on music wasn't necessarily a direct lesson. No one sat me down and taught me how to rhyme its just something I was constantly around. Naturally I learned how to rhyme seeing it done over and over you know. I grew up around all my cousins rhyming, my moms rhyming, my aunt is an R&B artist so the shit was inevitable lol.
5. How would you describe your style?
- I try to be as unorthodox as i possibly can be. I don't wanna sound like ANYBODY but myself. That way, when you hear me, you know its me because it doesn't sound like anything else you've heard. i hope that makes sense. People always tell me I sound like other niggas so I guess im terrible at it lol. can't knock a playa for trying tho
6. Does being with a huge promo team behind you help you?
- I suppose it would. actually it does. sometimes its difficult keeping everybody on one page lol its so many of us. Every team should be controlled. Everyone should understand the goal and what it takes to achieve it. Not tryna sound preachy and shit lol. I love my team though. They all ride for me and honestly I couldn't be more grateful for them.
7. With you re-releasing "Gas Money" what was your favorite track on the first release and the new release? - lol my favorite track is not even on the new version actually. The original had this joint on there called "Show Him" which was unmixed and we lost the file so i took it off completely. Thats my favorite joint though, If i recall correctly I recorded that around Nov or Dec 09. like 5 in the morning. GasmOney took about 2 years to make.
8.Geto Boys or Outkast? Who do you like more?
- Scarface, Bushwick and them like RapGods but i would have to go with Outkast
9.Who are you?
- A fat Guyanese nigga tryna make a couple dollars!
10. When everything is said and done what do you want GOD to say to you?
- "I know yall lil niggas not perfect down there, but I appreciate yal heart, intentions, and spirit". thats what I want him to say.
