Biggest Influences :
"Hip hop always motivated me always took me to a different place
mentally two artist really stand out in my mind that made me want to
write and record one being LL Cool J, LL had such a raw style of
rapping in his early Career and it made me want to write rhymes and
be versatile with my style and have that raw energy. Second would be
Esham, Once I heard Closed Casket, I knew I wanted to write to this
style of hip hop the words and the beats everything that Esham
brought to his music really made me want to write about anything. It
helped me become able to express myself through music and allow the
aggressive anger to release from my mind"
