Can you give everyone some background as to who Nick Fury is?
I’m like the Comic book character Nick Fury for real. He didn't have any superhuman powers. The dude was just smart. I have no powers, no advantages over the next guy, but the fact that I'm smart ... I'm like a double-edged sword. When you hear something I say in my music, nine times out of 10 it came from regular speech. It's almost corny, kind of like a Ben Stiller flick. It all has a serious undertone but it's lighthearted.

What's your opinion of Richmond's Hip Hop scene?
Cats out here are hungry. We’re in place that doesn’t get much light like NYC. It’s hard to get the same love out here, but we grinding hard for it. We gonna change the game like Timbaland, Missy & Neptunes did out of Virginia Beach. Wait till you see what Richmond is hiding.

You went to the Source's Unsigned Hype battle in 2000 and placed second, can you talk about that experience and what came out of it?
It made me hungry to get a career started in Hip Hop. I didn’t expect to do what I did back then because I wasn’t taking it that serious. Since then I’ve been in the studio killing tracks all day!

You got a couple mix tapes popping, what's good with those?
I got the Pistols & Techs joint you can download off my website and a joint AMG Entertainment is putting out. All in preparation for my album; Mix tapes are pretty good for getting some light, but I ain’t holding myself to that.

Your crew is "The Burglars," what's good with them?
The Burglars consist of JR, E Skummy, Lil Lee, 5Mics and I. We are constantly recording. We each have solo projects in the works. We’re just grinding till we get a break in the game. Then we gonna take it over!

You got the single out "Da Burglar Hop," how's that been doing?
It’s been doing alright getting spins in places I didn’t even think had it...it can only get better from here. Radio stations such as WERQ in Baltimore, MD; WPGC in Washington, DC; WDTJ in Detroit, MI; WHTA in Atlanta, GA; WCDX in Richmond, VA; KKFR and KZZP in Phoenix, AZ; WBOT in Boston, MA; etc. They’ve been giving it love and the single isn’t official out yet. Its crazy the love they are showing!

What do you want to get out of Hip Hop?
I want to have a stable life and notoriety that’s it.

What's your next move?
To make a video for “Da Burglar Hop” and work this single for the summer. I’m recording the album now and got joints out there for everyone. My management company AMG entertainment also has a new compilation/mix tape coming out called the, “The Bidding War” that has some of my latest stuff on it too. Basically we are trying to make the industry notice by staying on our grind.

Who do you want to work with in the future?
Jadakiss, Kanye West, Murphy Lee, Joe Budden, Anthony Hamilton, and Missy Elliot. Really I wanna work with anyone that wants to work with me and respects my craft.

What do you want people to think when they hear the name "Nick Fury?"
Nothing but FIRE!!! I bring it so many different ways. Ya’ll just ain’t ready.

How can Heads get up with you and cop the music?
