To begin, we would like to know when did you start rapping? 

I started rapping in 2009

How old are you? 

Lol Oh man! I'm 28!

Where are you from? 

Saint Paul, Minnesota! The 651!

Attacc Tha Moment is your empire? Explain to us where that evolved from and how it came about. 

Yes, That is My movement (Attacc Tha Moment #ATM) It evolved from when I realized life is short and if you want something in life, You just have to go for it! In other words Attacc it! I wanted to come up with something everybody uses and turn it into something different! So now everytime you hear or see ATM you'll think of my movement! Haha!

What 3 artist would you like to do a feature with? 

Hmmm, That's a good question! I'm gonna go with Schoolboy Q, He's dope! Problem from Compton CA, He be snapping! And T-Pain, Who is the GOAT!

How would you say the rap scene is in Minnesota? Any fellow MN artist you like to shout out as well? 

The rap scene in Minnesota is really small, It exists but its not popping like how I'ma have it popping! I gotta give a big shout out to Taylor J! He doing his thing!

After listening to never know, I see that you have a ear for good beats. You told us you had new beats as well. What do you look for in production when buying beats? 

I do! And I look for the sound quality, Is there any uniqueness to it? Is it easy for me to write to?
Will this get the listeners attention? Stuff like that!

After listening to your last singles dopest and gimmie dat, I would say that your sound is defiantly Midwest east coast. Comparable to Artist like ASAP rocky. We want to know Which artists would you compare yourself too? 

Well thank you! That's my first time hearing that! Shout out to ASAP Rocky! I actually used to live in New York! But anyways, I try not to compare myself to other artists because I just do me but if I had to choose, I'd say The old Kanye and Jadakiss! Aha!

Can we expect any new music videos in the future? 

Oh most definitely!! I plan on shooting a bunch of videos real soon!! So stay tuned in!!

Your new single never know is tuff. Can you Explain to us how this track came about ?

Thank You! But I was on YouTube listening to beats and I came across that track and just knew I needed to grab it before someone else did! As I was smoking and brainstorming, The subject just came to me like it usually does when I'm in the zone! And Bam!
