Having A Shot At Rap Stardom
“Yes, I know one day the world will stop sleeping on me. I will never stop working hard and building my own foundation. I work hard every day on perfecting my music and increasing my fan base. I know soon enough a few major labels will probably offer me a record deal but I plan on making it all happen myself even if that doesn’t happen. I am very confident that my next EP is what will take my career to the next level.”
Upcoming Project(s) In The Work
“Yes, I am dropping a new EP for free by Summer time. It’s the most confident I have ever been in any project I have ever worked on. Aside from that, I got a really dope single coming out with Abrax Phaeton soon. I have a remix coming out with Haven and a few other Soundcloud producers with a solid following.”
