Tell us a little about yourself. Where you're from, how long you have been rapping?

I'm from the west side of Baltimore, Maryland. I've been rapping since forever, but I've been stepping my business game up and really taking it serious for the last three years.

What got you into Hip-Hop?

Being in school from other guy's beatboxing and rapping. You know how you got the homies in the classroom, rhyming and bangin' on the desk. It was the thing to do so I decided to try my hand at it and been lovin' it ever since.

What made you decide to try and make it as a rapper?

I loved it so much and I worked on the art form and embraced it that it got to the point where people were telling me I was exceptional at it. Then you watch TV and see people make a business out of it and a light bulb goes off in your head and you think that "damn, if people think I'm this exceptional at it, they just might pay to listen to it."

How would you describe your sound?

I think I hold a lot of Baltimore slang, but not a typical Baltimore sound. I probably sound similar to a lot of Baltimore emcees if you wanna compare accent and that, but I think my flow format varies and is a little more complex and my topics are a little deeper than the average.

What's the Baltimore Hip-Hop scene like?

I see it emerging right now. You got the traditional club-rapper sound with the two-step beat, and then you got emcees that are more on the traditional Hip-Hop sound. Right now it's emerging on both ends, I think to the world our signature sound is the Baltimore club sound. But it goes much deeper than that even though radio doesn't present it.

Would you say it has been tough coming from a city that isn't known for its rappers?

Yeah, it's been extremely tough because we're coming from an area where there's already been a stereotype presented on what to expect from dealing with a Baltimore cat. Like a lot of the industry is hands-off when it comes to Baltimore artists, they think we're hard to deal with and we're in a box as far as our artistic ability. And on top of that, our local support system here doesn't show the true talent of the artist. We're coming from a crab city, where people will hate you behind your back and then to your face act like they love you. One thing that me and my team did different was we jumped way out of the box and we traveled. We actually met with people who were doing things nationally and made them believers, in contrast to what they would hear.

B-More is one of the grimiest cities out there, what was it like growing up for you?

Well, I was in the hood, youknowhatimsayin? I went to what most people would consider the worst school. It was an experience that I wouldn't take back cause it was an experience that I needed in order for me to feel my music and embrace the music in the way that I do. Through it all, growing up around the way, it's the way you choose to deal with going through those adversities. For me, I wasn't going to let my adversities get the best of me, but to take them and put a positive spin on it. I share my story with people but then show them how they can use it to benefit in the game.

You're label is Major League Unlimited, what are you guys looking to accomplish?

Right now we are looking for a label deal, we have everything accomplished except we want the right manufacturing and distribution deal. We got a lot of offers right now, but the goal is just to get major distribution for all the artists on the label.

You've worked with a number of different major label artists (Freeway, Clipse, Memphis Bleek), what was it like working with them?

It was a humbling experience workin' with those dudes and it was also an enlightening experience. I got to actually go in there and work with cats that have already done things that I'm trying to do. You get the experience of seeing how they do things and see how they feel about how you do things at the same time. To be embraced by them, is just a confirmation that you're doing the right thing. That was definitely one of the best things that could've happened to me in my career.

You got the song "Home of da Realest" with Bleek on it. How did that come about?

My partner had made a link with Geda K and I was going to do a joint with him. Then my cousin knows a DJ for the ROC, so through meeting them and knowing them, someone set it up. I wasn't sure if it was definitely going to happen, but once we arrived in New York we were told to come to Sony Studios and Bleek was there. He was supposed to just give me 16 bars, but by the end of us vibing he ended up giving me 24 bars and the hook.

What's next for you? What do you have coming up?

We have two videos coming up. We got "Buck On'em"/"All my Heart" with me and Freeway and [Major League Unlimited artist] Black Lo, which is produced by Clinton Sparks and B-Ill. We just shot that video. The next one is "Home of da Realest" which is Mullyman featuring Memphis Bleek. We're going to shoot that video in D.C. From there we're going to put out the Major League/Roc-a-Fella mixtape and hit the streets with that.
