6. REDRUM how did you meet? Soundcloud, I heard one of his beats and instantly dug his style. I have grown even more found of his beats as the time has grown and I’ve heard more lol Go Redrum!

7. What do you like about his music? Refer to Question 6 lol. Also the instruments and the soul of his beats. Just when you think you’ve heard the full build up of the beat, he shocks you and makes it cry. He doesn’t realize he has written all of the songs we have done together lol

8. On this album you sing a lot, is that you’re influenced by people like Frank Ocean, D’angelo or mickael Jackson? I don’t really take my singing style from new day artists, so not so much the Frank Oceans, but MJ always has a little say in how I write my singing parts. The reason I chose to sing on Bruno’s beats is to get, what I thought was the most feeling out of the songs. You can say a bunch of words when you’re rapping but it only takes 5 words sometimes when singing, depending on how you present it.

9. Soul Music? I love my soul so I love soul music. Like I said Al Green is defintely a favorite of mine.

10. what are talking about your songs? The main messages I try to portray in my music is Love or how unhappy I am with the current situation of the world, whether it be the invention of twerking or the obsession with money.

11.how do you find inspiration? In everything that is around me. I get inspiration from the weirdest things but ultimately if the beat talks to me enough it will write the song for itself. I usually try and trust the beat.

12. you want to add something? One Love everyone! What the world needs now is love sweet love… Keep listening
