I try not to listen to a lot of music when I'm starting the recording process, because it can be so subtly influential.

Bloggers are people too you rappers!

Money isnt what drives me, getting fans who truly understand what I'm about and want to see me live is where my head is at.

I feel like I have a very unique perspective especially for someone in the hip-hop genre. I'm not afraid to explore it, and how my upbringing then shapes my music and being a New York kid and all of that stuff...that's really the most unique thing I can offer to the music in general.

I am a musician, a songwriter, music fan. I live in New York City and I love my job.

I've kind of shut myself off to a lot of new music because I don't want to be influenced by it.

I'm a Jewish kid who grew up loving hip hop in NY.
