Q & A
As a child growing up, music surrounds us. What type of music did you hear the most back then? How does it differ from what you listen to now?
02.21.20
Music has always been apart of life, growing up my father would play all the old school classics like the Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, George Clinton, Sugar Hill Gang, Michael Jackson, and the list goes on! Out of all the music that was playing I enjoyed listening to Rap Music the most. My favorite artists were Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Notorious B.I.G, Jay-Z, and Nas. I use bump Bone Thugs and Wu-Tang Hard! I feel like there was more passion in the music back then. Artist took the culture, lyrics, and perfecting their craft more seriously. You had to be dope!
Do you have regular gigs around town?
