**Please let the world know, where are you from?**

_Im From St Louis Missouri! The heartbeat of the country!_

**Who are some of your musical influences? **

_Journey, Fat Boyz, Run DMC and NWA, as you can see I like everything! Also I cant
forget Busta Rhymes! He set the bar on how to perform in hip hop!_

**Who are you feeling in the rap world right now? What do you listen to?**

_Yelawolf because he brings something new to the game. Kanye West because he does
his own thing. [Wiz Khalifa](http://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/4256257/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fwiz-khalifa-tickets%2Fartist%2F1256402),
because he has been in the game and pushing for a long time, and he has a great 
team. [Rick Ross](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/4256257/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Frick-ross-tickets%2Fartist%2F1050685),
because the quality of his music always speaks for itself. He has a great mixture
of lyricism, delivery, and the ability to pick out dope tracks. _

**Do you listen to anything outside of rap?**

_Of course! I am a big rock fan. Being from St Louis, we have a lot of musical influences
from Ike & Tina, Chuck Berry, and many other music greats. But I am also a fan of
pop music as well. I am a big Micheal Jackson fan, and you can catch me listening
to a Black Eyed Peas album pretty often_

**What are two things that people would be surprised to learn about you?**

_That I’m a cartoon fanatic, and a homebody! _

** What is your definition of grind?**

_Work hard and make things happen at all costs! Go hard as you can until you get
results, not knowing the meaning of stop, or no! _

**What is something that you want all of your fans and future fans to know about
you?**

_Every time you see me or hear me, I am giving you 100% of everything I have! Nothing
is ever left on the table! To be able to perform for me is a dream come true!_

**If you weren’t rapping what would you be doing?**

_If it weren’t for God, I would probably be in the streets. Other than that I think
I would make a good teacher! That’s why I always try to make time to volunteer with
kids no matter what city I’m in. _

**What artists would you like to work with?**

_Diddy! I like his whole swag! Busta Rhymes because you know its gonna be a banger,
T Pain and Akon because they make great songs and are very consistent. _

**Who is your celebrity crush?**

_Mel B aka Scary Spice from the Spice girls! _

** What future projects do you have coming up? Any tours?**

_We have an independent horror film coming out soon called “Groupie”, We have my
Rock Band, Toilet water coming with a new album in the next coming months, its gonna
be crazy! And also we have the “Im a Starr” album and clothing line and book coming
soon. In my book, I want to take people through my life, share some stories about
my successes and failures in the hopes it can be a blessing to someone! As far as
tours, Im on tour right now with my “Gunz & Rozez tour” Im in a car on Wifi typing
to you as we speak on the way to Springfield Illinois. So go to [itunes](http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/turkey-hamm-produced-by-trifecta/id405366951?i=405366982&ign-mpt=uo%3D4)

Album Asap! _

**Are you currently signed to a record label? **

_I am signed to myself, Black 300 Music Group!_

**I know that you had the official World Series championship song and video for 
the St. Louis Cardinals “Brimmy” debuted on Fox Sports Midwest during the Cardinals
pennant run, are you doing anymore work with the Cardinals or any other sports teams?**

_Absolutely, I’m glad you asked. My music is such high performance and high energy
that I’m always getting requests for my songs to be on sports shows and commercials.
I have some NFL submissions in the works, so I hope to hear back soon on those. 
Also The Mack 10 song ” Like This” that I was featured in was used in the Sopranos
Video game, the Waist Deep Movie, with Tyrese and Meagan Good, and was a big hit
on the West Coast. So we try to stay busy at all times! _
