Q15 Most people will never know what it feels like to be on stage in front of a crowd, what does that feel like?
It is the one thing in life that hits you with so much emotion at one time. You honestly do feel like a million bucks when your rockin that crowd! It is honestly something that every person in the world should be able to experience, just once. Its all about the love you have for your passion.
Q16 Describe your typical stage show performance. What might we expect at your show and why we should go?
PURE RUCKUS! You can expect hard hitting bass, weed smoke, and LOVE!
Q17 Tell us about your most memorable gig and why it was so great?
I get this question a lot and my answer always seems to all come back to the “HIGH ON LYFE” CD Release Show with Potluck! This was by far one of the most memorable shows I’ve had in my career. I guess I feel like this was a huge step towards my career path. I love every single show we do but when you can feel the energy in the building like we did that night then that truly makes for one memorable fuckin show!
Q18 Tell us about your worst gig and why it was so bad?
Can't think of one of the top of my head but I would have to say ANY show with Shitty sound is a bad show for me. I have to have BASS suring my set, no if ands or butts!

Rugged Man, Boondox, Cousin Cleetus, Mars, Potluck, Mo Thugs, Hopsin, Lil Whyte, Rittz, Eternal, Kung Fu Vampire, Liquid Assassin...But I would be Lying if I said I wasn’t ready for MORE!
Q20 Do you believe commercial/mainstream music has had a negative effect on new music, why or why not?
NO, I hate mainstream music with a PASSION! The reason being on most of these labels when you get signed, they change you. They turn you into the artist they see, and want. Most of the time your not even writing your own music anymore after you are signed to a major label. Yea the money is great but there is NO amount of money you could pay me to forget where I came from or who my friends are. This is me and this is what you get. Plain and Simple!
Q21 Has the internet really been helpful to your promotion, why or why not?
