“My music is potent hip hop...edgy, melodic & bass filled beats mixed with real but funny & thought-provoking songs about lives in these days & times. I usually compose my tracks first, then I write my songs. The subjects are inspired by the beats - but - the beat isn’t the star of the song, neither are the lyrics - both have to be equally as Hot! I try to make sure that when you listen to my music, that the song, score or whatever is going to pull that raw emotion out of you whether it’s laughing & playing around - having a good time, sadness, or inciting angry madness, & that my lyrics are accurate & honest. Plus I get the job done when I’m in the studio.”

I try to stay giving a bit of something everybody can bump & enjoy - that is - if you wanna bump & enjoy!”
