Honestly I feel like music raised me, healed me and became my friend through hard times. I feel like I have to repay music for what it has done for me by also dropping music that can heal and inspire souls and give hope to others the way other artists did to me" he said.

He worked with artists from his hood and outside and before he became a musician he was just a battle rapper. He performed at 'Back to the streets' and 'Freestyle Friday' cyphers.
