Influences:There’s a few rappers that I am influenced by like 2pac, bone thugs, T.I, Lupe Fiasco, Nas and many others because they come out with songs that most people can relate to, and what they speak is real. My biggest influence is heartache because I’ve been through a lot so it helps me come stronger through my lyrics rather its from anger, or sadness. I Don’t Believe In disrespecting women in my lyrics, even though everybody knows there’s bitches and hoes out there, but I grew up around women mostly so that helps me feel some of the pain they go through. I think I first got into rap when I was around 8 years old when I heard a few niggas rapping down the street. So I walked over to hear, and I was asked if I could flow, so I spit and they thought I was good for my age. I never took rap seriously until I got about 11, and got in a group called Worldwide doing talent shows. We had a couple hit songs we used to perform which were “Get Your Walk On†and “What It Is Right Nowâ€. There was a lot of members who were in and dropped out but the main members were me when I was known as Lil’Mike, Rob, Lil Derek, Baby D, Neal, and Antonio. But we ended up going our separate ways but I still keep in touch with some of the members, but as of right now I’m a solo artist signed with S5. With fame comes jealousy, beef is a big influence to, from people thinking they can hold me down to death threats, so yea I had to knock a few niggas out. But that only made me tougher with this rap shit, so I really believe I could become huge in the rap game if I was heard by the right people. If I was to get with a rap group they would have to have the same aim as me which is to really pursue a career out of it and make a positive difference in hip hop. So if you looking for that REALNESS get at them mixtapes I’m out. “Young’Profit aka Soulâ€
