Influences: Lyrically - I'm influenced by every cat I've ever heard rhyme about politics, crack, relationships, money, or whatever else they fucking struggled with growing up - I listen, process it...then remind myself why I don't like to hear that shit in the first place.For the moment, I'm not concerning myself with conceptional verses and tracks expressing various opinions about how fucked up the world is. In the same breath, however, I don't have anything against artists that do use Hip-Hop as a medium of that sort. If that's how they intend to express themselves, so be it. In my case, my real world occupation puts me right in the middle of that shit everyday. I direct lives in the classroom. My music is an escape from the issues I have to face five days a week, as opposed to others that screw around in real life only to try to present some agenda in a song. So when I talk about smacking some kid for his dollars, Deutsche Marks, or Pesos - that's my therapy of sorts, suckas.Beat-wise - Doom, Madlib, Jdilla, Stoupe, Automator, J-Zone, Kool Akiem, Necro, etc. keep me filtering and sampling that weird shit. I take pride in the fact that my beats reflect my personality. There's no radio in this bag, for sure.
Sounds Like: I got some issues.
