Q: What inspired you to become a rapper?

I was the kid in school writing the girls poetry and love letters, so I always knew I was a natural writer. Once I found that my fallen father was a musician, I decided to follow out his dream. Even though I was in the streets I still went to school, played sports, and dreamed of becoming rich and famous. So once street life became an obstacle the next best thing to a street guy was being a rapper, so it inspired me and I jumped in headfirst.

Q: Out of the many artists you’ve come in contact with, who was your favorite to work with? And why?

I would say Ar-Ab, when we did a song together in the mean streets of Philly, he embraced me like a brother. He was real, authentic, and I could feel the nature of a street persona. We looked each other eye to eye and talk about many things, from the game to entertainment. He always will have my respect!

Q: What takeaways do you want your fans to receive when they listen to your music?

I want them to know that I’m not the most real I’m just one of them, and the life that I betray in my music I lived.

Q. Can you tell us about your shampoo and conditioner line “Zuri Glow” and who’s it for?

It’s an all-natural shampoo and conditioner for kids, adults, boys, and girls! It was created for my daughter Zuri, which she is three and a half owner of the product line.

Q: As someone who wears many hats, how do you manage it all?
