Sounds Like: Every project that I am involved with is different than the last. Sometimes the situation is completely different than the last project and sometimes it is familiar, but the goal is to make good music. I mainly make music for peeps I know. I don't have distribution or marketing budgets or anything like that. just burn cds for the peeps.
As far as my sound, I would say that I'm a hiphoppa. So whatever comes out of me is hiphop, whether you know it or not. . . . .
