1. What’s your daily hustle?

Music is my daily hustle. It’s go hard or go home. I never doubt the fact that I am destine for great things in this music business so I feel no way putting all my eggs into one basket. Once things progress and I’m in a good situation I can see myself venturing out into other avenues but for now this is what it is.

2. What makes you stand out from the rest of the competition?

I just do me. I’m not trying to re-event the wheel. I just put my spin to it and hope everyone can relate.

3. In the past, what has been your most impressive hustle?

Musically speaking , I would have to say opening for MOS DEF and M.O.P.  It was my first show and biggest to date.  I can’t lie, I was nervous as shit.  I haven’t even done an open mic prior to that. I just stepped out in-front of a crowd of about 1000 people and rocked out. The outcome, FLAWLESS. Lol.  Before the show I got to kick it with M.O.P. and after that show I had a few words with MOS DEF. It was a great experience and very memorable.

4. What has been your least impressive hustle?

Once again musically speaking, I remember back in the day I was always known for my freestyle ability . One night I hit this random night club and during the night they stopped the party and let these dudes freestyle. Everybody was booing them cause these dudes were ass! So one of my boys went up to the mic man and had a quick word with him ( yo let my boy do his thing, he is gonna dun the place. Ray ray ray ) you know them ones. Lol. So the dude let me rap and when I stepped in front of the crowd I just froze like a deer staring at the headlights. Lmao. I think my dudes laughed at me for a month straight. I will never let that happen again.  #promise

5. Currently, what projects are you hustling on? And in the future what can we expect from you?

Right now I’m currently hustling on a mixtape called “The Flawless Package” which will feature a couple other Toronto artist.  Aside from that I’m just building my catalogue, dropping singles, collabo’s and working towards dropping an EP in the near future.

6. What would be your ultimate hustle?

Some how persuading Megan Good that I’m the right man for her. Lmfao.  Nah, I would say to get a lifetime hip-hop achievement award like 30 years from now.  I obviously want to get paid off of this music and live lavish but if I said it was all about that I would be lying. I actually love this shit. Aside from all the nasty people and things that go on in this industry, there is nothing else I can see myself doing.  #myWord

7. If you could hustle with one other hustler, who would it be? And why?

No doubt about it, it would have to be Hov (Jay-Z).  I remember being a youth mimicking his raps and hand gestures until I was able to develop my own style and characteristics. His clear voice, lyrics and intricate rhyme patterns really inspired me to do what I do today.

8. How do you feel about Toronto being labeled the “screwface” capitol?

I don’t really watch that but sometimes It feels like crabs in bucket around here. Too many artist not enough fans. Lol.

9. Do you feel Drake & Justin Bieber have opened doors for artist in Toronto to start getting heard?

Yeah to a certain point. They for sure brought attention to this side of the border but if you want to be heard you still have to hustle hard to get your music into the hands of the right people. Unless you get a co-sign.

10. Lastly, do you have any words of wisdom for other hustlers?

Yeah, this shit doesn’t happen over night.  Stay humble and don’t get ahead of yourself. Sleep doesn’t exist. And always remember there is always someone out there waiting for you to slip so they can steal your shine. Keep grinding.
