Introduce Yourself/Tell About Yourself: Rapper/Engineer/Producer/Musician from Washington state. I put my heart and soul into my music so I don’t have a lotta interests and goals past that besides maybe some movies but I play basketball almost everyday of the week, smoke with the day ones, and work out while trying to eat as little as possible. It helps to be muscular when your pale as hell

What Inspires You Every day? : The world around me everyday. I say the people in my life are the most interesting. I know people who have done great and wonderful things but I also have met people I still have distaste for to this day, but even those people can be a lesson for me on how not to be and how to be. I think the best way to be inspired is to realize everyday is a new sunrise and that the next two seconds are never guaranteed so be in the moment and be ready to trust in your instincts to push u where u need to go

What is some words of wisdom you live by?: Winston Churchill’s quote I guess is one I repeat in my head like a mantra a lot.

“Never give in – never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.”

It sorta has double meaning, at least for me. I think there’s a certain percentage of humans that instinctively more than others “give in” instead of thinking about the problem further and from every angle possible. I think it’s sorta like cognitive dissonance or whatever they call it in psychiatry, but I literally see it all around the kids and buds I grew up with, and it gets them into the stupidest situation when they won’t even let themselves think about what it is they’re exactly doing. But I realized giving in was a problem I had a lot growing up, from peer pressure to impulses and such. I think we all have a giving in problem one way or another.

I also think it stresses the idea of living a life with good conviction, or good reasons. I don’t think anything with ill intent will be remembered in a positive way, I don’t really believe in all popularity being good popularity. Even 6ix9ine won’t be remembered as a real musician or a real anything really. I like to think that even we will all be forgotten at one point if we manage to survive that long and advance the way we need to, but to taint your legacy for a quick buck is seeming to be more and more popular today, so I assume that 69 will fall into the rest of the pool of trolls like fyre festival. To say that i just make my music with good conviction is more than someone like 6ix9ine can be able to boast about would be an understatement, I really do like to live my life with true and right conviction like I’m in a movie being filmed or sun shit. I need to get my shi on point all the time, that’s what keeps me successful

What is your ultimate goal in life? : Save the world. Not literally, but I’d be wrong if I didn’t want to help the world evolve and get better than the shit we got now. I like to think we never really do enough to help not just the community, but the planet and people in general. Everyone deserves help, everyone deserves a prayer, everyone deserves that leftover cheeseburger pie u made yesterday and put in the fridge. I ain’t fronting, I want nothing but love and success and forgiveness for anyone on this planet and I won’t stop preaching that love until u agree. How are u going to judge what someone else deserves in their life when you will never be able to walk even a foot in their shoes?

How have you been during the pandemic and how has it affected you? : Not much. Just been smoking, ain’t no shortys wanna talk though it’s kinda making me lonely ;(

Going to start playing basketball more again soon it helps with exercise too. Plus my mind is too clear when i’m dribbling past imaginary defenders in front of me

What is a message you would like to give others? : The World Is Yours literally, and we are just living it. Grab it by the wheels and steer it wherever u need to. If it’s for the right reasons and u really believe it’s great no matter what, u can make anything amazing and fucking spectacular happen

What else would you like to tell others about you or your life?: I have a single coming out soon album beginning of next year, kick the lean for yams, and I love y’all
