Q. Most music artists have that special someone or thing that influenced their decision to do music. Did anyone or something in your life play a major role in influencing you to go into the music business?
ANSWER HERE What did influence me into the music business is in two dimensions: (a) To change the trend at which Hip Hop is fading with my unique lyrics and rhymes. (b) The money aspect.

ANSWER HERE What makes me stands out from the competition is my style of rap, lyrics and unique rhymes called the rhyric rap. (A rhyric rap is a rap filled with good lyrics and more rhymes).

Am the only music artist who has composed 600 tracks on earth and aiming to compose up to 1000 tracks. The only rapper with extraordinary lyrics and rhymes.
