1. What’s your daily Hustle? What do you do to survive?
I am constantly on my grind, always taking various avenues and approaches that I know will result in progression. Generally, whatever I can do to generate paper, always keeping one motto in my mind “Hard Work Pays Off”.  So I never sleep on opportunity and I seize every moment I get to further expand my brand and keep it moving.

2. What makes you stand out from the rest of the competition? What makes your hustle unique?
I know the rap industry is over saturated and everyone is trying to break through in this game.  As a young an upcoming Indian MC I continue to plot on how to create that unique material that really stands out. I am constantly applying different styles and techniques which I feel will help produce better music and establish a stronger connection with the people.  I try and keep my options open and not come with that generic style but stepping it up always and pushing myself to the point where I perfect my craft.

3. In the past, what has been your most impressive Hustle?
I would have to say just using music to brand myself and learning on the way and continuing to grow.  I was always rhyming from a young age which was more of a leisure activity and pass time.  As time went on I took a much more serious approach and in turn using it to develop a brand that I am constantly working on improving and bulding.  I started doing countless shows accross Toronto, having videos on Much Music, working with numerous Toronto talent, getting my music all over the web and really being heard and recognized by those in the industry. So basically using a skill I naturally had and learning on how to make it work for  me.

4. What has been your least impressive Hustle? And how did you overcome it?
I have taken losess throughout time so there’s not one particular moment I can specifically really touch on. I always remembered what doesn’t kill you, will only make you stronger.  So everytime things didn’t quite workout, I would learn from my mistakes and avoid repeating them.  Breakdown what went wrong and what I can do to regain my stability.

5. Currently, what projects are you hustling on? And in the future what can we expect from you?
I have my new solo mixtape coming out titled “Aviator Music Vol.1 No Fly Zone”. The first single is called “Braggin” featuring my big homey Roti and produced by an up and coming dope Canadian producer, my dude Skosha Muzik.  We are just working on some finishing touches before I drop the record. I’ll also be shooting a video for “Braggin” so look out for that on Much Music and all over the hottest blog sites.

6. What would be your ultimate Hustle?
To become a successful Indian/Canadian recording artist and having my music indulged worldwide. Continue to make good music that people can relate to and ultimatley allowing me to pursue music as a full time career.  Generally being able to use my skills to turn my ideas into reality, embracing all that this industry has to offer.

7. If you could hustle with one other Hustler, who would it be? And why?
I’d have to say 50 Cent because not only did he conquer the industry with his music but he expanded it to a ever so growing multi-million dollar brand.  He covered various avenues, was always open for new business ventures and incorporated it all with his love for the music.  I’m sure I could learn a lot about the industry through him and what crucial moves he took to reach the level of success he is at today.

8. What are two words that would best describe you?
Positive & Focused

9. What Smartphone do you use and why?
The i Phizzle 4 all day! It has to be the best phone out hands down.  I went through the BlackBerry phase but it wasn’t cutting it for me, jumped on the iPhone and never looked back.

10. Lastly, do you have any words of wisdom for other Hustler’s?
Get money and stay positive. Never let anyone tell you what you can and can’t do … just go out there and get it.
