anCor: Do you believe it is difficult being a indie artist, why or why not?
Lil Shaw: I thinks its very difficult being a indie artist, first of all you put more work into your craft than major artist but don't get the money or recognition you deserve. I been putting blood , sweat , and tears into my music for the past 10 years and I feel I still don't get the recognition I deserve cuz of course I got mouth's to feed as well but i feel my time is coming very soon.

Lil Shaw: Stay focused even when you think things aint moving like you want it to and have fun doing it cuz if you dont love it you will easily get back tracked, and feed off the haters don't let them discourage you cuz their's more haters than there are real niggas.
