D: Tell me about how you got started in music.

R: Well I always been into music and had always had words & ryhmes in my head and it wasn't till like 16 were I got down & started actually writting and started to record and I hooked up with a producer called J-B ONE who produced on DJ-LAZ'S CD CRUISIN and he schooled me on how to write to bars & put my ideas into song format and there was the beginning.

D: Do you find it tough to take radio play in Texas or do most cities support their own?

R: Hell yeah radio in Dallas is frustrating they aint wanting to play local artists too much besides the local hour showcase but even to get on that it's a lot of politics and B.S but that's the game we play so you got to just keep pushin.Yeah I support all local artists I worked wit a lot of them so I'll buy it if it's nice but of course I'm not gonna buy no garbage LOL but if it's nice I'll cop it & give it a jam.
