First of all, congratulations on everything that you've been doing. What's something that keeps you motivated to keep you going?

I ain't going to front, I be having my days where... every artist gets hard on themselves at some point in time of their career. And most importantly, we all get discouraged, but the brighter picture is what the music is going to do, what the impact is going to make on people. That's really my inspiration for real. I know for a fact that at some point I'm going to get my break and I'm going to impact people. I'm already impacting people now, and that's my biggest s**t when it comes to this music thing. Just making a positive impact. Of course, we all got our flaws. We human beings we ain't perfect, but I'm trying the best way I can to put myself in a light where it's not negative. I'm trying to cater to the youth too, because there's a lot of kids that look up to me, watch me and watch what I do. So I don't really want to be that bad role model, or I don't want to be that artist where their parents are telling them, yeah, you can't listen to 'em at that age until you get to this age. So just the motivation of the kids, just motivation, knowing that I can make an impact with my words and my music. That's my biggest motivation.

You make up a decent part of what The Conglomerate is today, alongside your father and your label mates. What made you really want to follow in your dad's footsteps?

Like I said, bro, music was something that was always a part of my daily life. It was something I did every day whether that was me practicing for class, for the drums, whether that was me practicing and training my vocals to sound a certain way, whether that was me just working on my pen and just writing music. I just always been inclined with music. So I feel like the real inspiration was with my brother. My brother wrote my first rap, my middle brother, TK. He knew how to rap a little bit. And he was like, 'Yo, here, go with this.' And then I tried it. I performed it at my mom's grand opening at her store. She had a store back in the day, and I performed it at her grand opening. Me and my man's Lee Paris, shout out to LP and the whole YRF family. That was really the inspiration. From there, I was like, 'Yeah, I'm going to start writing my own lyrics and actually going crazy.' So ever since then, after my brother wrote my first rap, bro, I started really working on my pen and just writing my own lyrics, bro. And that s**t just became what it was now.

What would you say your goals and aspirations are as a musician in general?

That's a good question. Some of my goals and aspirations is one, to make an impact on the world and the youth, and, two, I want to be able to set up a foundation for other visionaries, creatives, artists and other people that want to get into the entertainment world, get into nightlife, get into rapping, get into photography, videography. I feel like I have all those resources and I feel like I can help connect those dots.

And also being a part of a fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi, Fraternity Incorporated. Spring 2023. Four club, Line President, TikTok. So just being a part of all of that and actually getting that experience and just being able to connect with other individuals, that's been my biggest thing. I want to be able to create that foundation and that platform and give people that push so that they can also reach the networks and reach the people that they want to reach through whatever fields, whatever talents that they have.

How do you plan to do that?

Well that's the whole purpose of Breadwinners Entertainment LLC. That's my record company that I'm starting right now. I don't even really want to call it a record company no more, bro. I just really want call it like a foundation. A place where people can come to and actually be free. You don't got to deal with all the extra clauses of labels. So that's where I feel like I come into play.
