Where are you from?

Shit, I’m from Stone Mountain Georgia.  Snow Moun.

How far is Stone Mountain from Atlanta?

That shit ain’t nothing but about twelve minutes away. 

Since the Atlanta buzz has kind of faded a little and your from outside of Atlanta, do you think this will make it a little harder for you to earn a bigger buzz?

Naw, I ain’t gonna have a problem with that at all man.  My shit is real. Everything that I talk about, I’ve done it or I’ve seen it.  That ain’t gonna be no problem. 

From your music you speak a lot about how you write what you experience and how you're not like other rappers who sell stories. Do you want to comment on that?

I’m not gonna say that. I just know what I did.  They have a story about their story but I know that my story is as real as anybody else’s shit. 

What projects are you working on right now?

Right now I’m in the process of getting in the lab with Jazza Pha, and Mr. Colli Park.  I’m about to do something with Druma Boy.  He did the Standing Ovation for Young Jezzy.  I’m gonna be working with Don Cannon and of course B. Cox.  I have a couple of things that I’m working on. 

Are you doing these songs for an album or a mix tape?

Well I already have like 50 mix tape songs.  We are working on the album right now. 

With the single "Get Money", are you trying to attract a more street crowd or you do plan on softening the song down for radio?

Right now, I’m just trying to get that street buzz going on because that’s where I started. But that record is only a tester.  I really didn’t go to lyrical on that song so niggas can understand what I’m talking about but I got some shit.  

How did Bryan Michael Cox notice your talents in order to sign you?

Well we came down there one day and had a meeting and Picaso who is an A&R for B.Cox introduced us and he was like damn.  Later one that night I got a phone call and that was that. 

So basically Picaso the A&R discovered you?

Yea

How did you end up meeting Picaso?

My cousin introduced us.

What made you signed to a major producer who is well connected but has no label deal yet and his main focus is R&B?

I’ve kicked it with him and I know he can make it happen.  I really fuck with him.  He is a real dude.

Are you guys in the process of shopping a deal for you or is it pretty much grind work for now?

We’re just working on the album right now.  We’re not worried about the deal because we know that’s gonna come.  We already have offers now but we aren’t focusing on that.  We’re just trying to get that big buzz. 

With having a producer and boss such as B.Cox do you feel more pressure on yourself?

Oh naw man.  I don’t feel any pressure.  Bryan isn’t in the room when I’m recording sometimes.  I might do ten songs in one day and give it to him and I’m gone. He doesn’t have a problem with me so there is no pressure. 

Is there certain artist that your looking forward to working with?

Yea there is a couple of artist out there that I want to fuck with.  I don’t’ want to give any names now because we are in the process of working with some of them now. 

What is your relationship with Chris Jasper?

That’s my little brother and also my manager.
