I grew up in the Barracks listening to music at a very tender age and you know when one is unable to get satisfied listening alone, I started miming Tupac and many rappers and singers alike till I started doing my own thing. So my very first influence is hip hop before any other.

Nigeria Artist or Upcoming Artist, which would you rather prefer to be addressed?

Cypher put me on the same show with the best.
