KNOWLEDGE


KNOWLEDGE
1. WHO IS KNOWLEDGE? 
Knowledge is what rap is meant to be, what it
should be. Knowledge epitomizes everything that most niggas can’t be
and want to be in they rhymes. But to be a dick….Knowledge as defined
by dictionary.com is the body of truths or facts accumulated in the
course of time or acquaintance or familiarity gained by sight,
experience, or report.


2. WHAT SCHOOLS DID YOU ATTEND? (GRADE/HIGH SCHOOL/COLLEGE) 
I mean grade school, c’mon West that ain’t even important, but High School I
went and graduated from William Penn. College I attended and graduated
from Mansfield University, and currently I am attending U of Phoenix
trying grab that good ol’ masters.


3. DO YOU HAVE A ROLE MODEL OR SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO? IF SO WHO AND WHY? 
Honestly I used to have a lot of people I looked up to especially
musically, but since I have gotten deeper into my craft it has turned
more into respect then looking up to. So some of the people I respect
are Nas, Jay-Z, Method Man, Lupe Fiasco, Jadakiss, Skillz, the whole
Slaughterhouse and the list could go on and on but I’ll just make it
plain and simple talented individuals that spit shit worth listening
too. That was mainstream, now underground thus far it would be
everybody that I have worked with and continue to work with, if I
respect you trust me you will know.


4. IF YOU COULD CHOOSE ANY PROFESSION WHAT WOULD IT BE? AND WHY? 
I would have to say counseling. Despite what people may think about a nigga I
like to help people and there are a lot of people out there with
issues that they can’t resolve alone. I have always been the type of
nigga that was a good listener and was always able to lead people in
the right direction with my advice. So, it seems only right that I get
paid to do it.


5. IF FOR WHATEVER REASON YOUR PROFESSION OF CHOICE DOESN'T WORKOUT DO YOU HAVE A PLAN B? 
Yeah, I plan on robbing niggas. Just kidding, I
don’t really know something in the Social Sevices field. Once again
I’m about helping people, that even extends to rap. I like to reach
out and work with people and I also like to help niggas learn how to
do what it is that needs to done by using the good ol show and prove
method.


6. WHAT IS YOUR MAIN FOCUS? 
My main focus in life is happiness by any
means necessary….I repeat any means necessary. You boi is engaged and
has a child so priorities in my life are based strictly around me and
them at this point.


7. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN RAPPING? 
Rapping sheeessssssh its been a minute, I originally started rapping at the age of seven.
However, I took a break and began playing with it again about four
years ago, but did not get serious about it until maybe 2 years
ago….lemme make sure you caught that two years ago, and I’m already
decades beyond some of these niggas. Nuff said.


8. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO WANNA START RAPPING? 
Originally living next door to DJ Ready Roc (might be spelt wrong) who used to
work with Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. I used to always hear him
in the house next door mixing and saw a lot of people come in and out
of his crib. The Youngsta’s etc…. that started it, but as mentioned
above I fell off. Later on my brother, M.A.S. brought me back into the
fold and pushed me, rather encouraged me to pursue my talent show
people that “The Beast Unleashed” (currently out and in circulation,
lol).


9. DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER TALENTS? 
Besides making them girls say
“Uhhhh” lmao. I play a little bit of basketball and football. I can
get it down with the pencil and paper on the artists tip,,,yeah niggas
I can draw and I can rap so basically all I’m doing is painting niggas
pictures when I rap, but if need be I can make visuals as well.


10. WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS? 
I see myself enjoying life with or without music. The way music goes, well you know
its bullshit. I’m on a level where I’m about unity and unfortunately
I’m in a city where that barely exists. You got some niggas that show
love and basically show respect for the craft but for the most part
its all territory and who you know. Personally, if a nigga is gabbage
I don’t give two flyin bird shits who you know. In a perfect world
though I see myself on a beach blasting my second to third album with
just me, my child and my wife…..btw I would be owning that island.


11. HAVE YOU ACCOMPLISHED ANY OF YOUR GOALS YET? 
Yeah, I can honestly say I have. I had one goal and that was to make sure that almost
everything I wrote and recorded was up to par and beyond most of what
is out on the streets and thus far I have accomplished that. I can
honestly say that if I did a cover beat I did my thing. I am a true
fan of music and I only listen to what I like and what is good, that
includes myself. If I drop some bullshit I ain’t listening to it.


12. DO YOU HAVE ANY ACCOMPLISHMENTS YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHINE LIGHT ON?Two successful mixtapes. I don’t mean successful as they sold out the
stores. I mean successful as in they were real good music, quality
music. My first mixtape got love from England….fuckin England. To me
that shows where you are with music, when you can reach people from
over seas you are doing your thing. My second accomplishment which may
seem small to some, is after a performance during my second mixtapes
release party a kid walked up to me (don’t know what the hell he was
doing there but hey) and asked me for a copy of shit. That meant a
lot, especially with the bullshit that these kids are being fed these
days. It felt great to know that I left an impression on the youth.
Thus far however, my greatest achievement is gaining the respect from
some of my peers. I have not gotten to everyone yet but I will
eventually, 2010 is here and I’m not leaving it without leaving some
sort of mark.


13. DO YOU HAVE A SPOUSE? OR ARE YOU SINGLE? 
Yeah, I’m currently engaged. There is a Ms. Knowledge. Funny story. I told my homie Young
Kose from the group 787 that I was engaged and this nigga clowned me
talking bout damn you old now, I gotta start calling you Wisedom.
Bastard. That’s my nigga tho.


14. DO YOU HAVE ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE EVENTS/SHOWS COMING UP? 
At this moment no, I’m reloading getting shit together so the next show I do
is better then anything else I’ve done. Philly We Back was great and I
appreciated the opportunity….Shout out to Trizzy. However, just know I
have close to 50+ tracks in the cut both originals and cover shit……its
about to hurt for lame ass niggas,,,I’m about to make it really hard
for em. Even some mainstream cause I’m about to retire a lot of
peoples instrumentals.


15. DO YOU LOOK AT RAPPING AS BEING A HOBBY OR CAREER? 
A little bit of both but mainly a hobby. Only because a hobby is something you
do with passion and a career is something you do because you have too.
Understand this I don’t have to do music I just am passionate about
it. This is something I love and something that I do for the love. The
money and respect are great but I do it because it’s what I want to
do, if money never comes knocking fine as long as I can keep the door
open for my personal love of it then I’m good.


16. HOW TALL ARE YOU? 
Fuck you West….not answering that question. Just
know that I’m about average height for what these rappers stand now a
days.....lol


17. HOW OLD ARE YOU? 
Old enough to know that these niggas is spitting garbage. 27 Tho.

18. WHAT KIND OF CLOTHING DO YOU PREFER TO WEAR? 
I’m a laid back dresser. You give me a nice pair of jeans and a Lo’ shirt and I’m
good. Recently tho I’ve spreaded out to American Eagle I fucks wit it.
Oh yeah, and I’m a jacket and hoody nigga like crazy that’s my other
lil spin.


19. HAVE YOU APPEARED IN ANY MUSIC VIDEOS, MAGAZINES, ADS, OR FLYERS?Music videos one, my homie Siege from Dware recorded one about a year
ago, magazines yeah but not for music…flyers about 3-4 of em.


20. IF YOU COULD BE GRANTED 3 WISHES WHAT WOULD THEY BE? 
Mo money, mo money, mo money…..ha ha. Nah really 1)the return of real music; 2)the
death of bullshit; and most important 3)the happiness of me and my
fam.


21. WHATS YOUR FAVORITE FOOD? 
As fucked up as this is going to sound, rice. Yah rice…..weird ain’t it.22. DO YOU HAVE ANY CURRENT WORKS (MIXTAPES, ALBUMS, MAGAZINEARTICLES, ETC) THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO PROMOTE? 
Yeah why not….Currently out I have “Emergency In Philly Vol.2”(Classic), niggas need to check
that out. “The Beast Unleashed” hot and I’m sure Mr. West and a lot of
other people would co-sign on that one for me.


23. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE KIND OF FOOTWEAR? 
Honestly, flops nigga flops. I fucking hate boots, and sneakers are normally only for
playing ball for me, I wear them out and about just to do it and
mainly because flop weather just began but, it’s a wrap for that shit
its warm outside “FLOPS” all day everyday…..once I buy some more.


24. AT ANY TIME DO YOU SLACK OFF OR GET SIDE TRACKED FROM YOUR WORK?No, even when I’m in a drought or doing something else I’m thinking
about music. Anybody can tell you all a nigga does is write, damn near
24/7.


25. WHAT DO YOU ENJOY DOING WHEN YOU ARE NOT IN THE PUBLIC'S EYE ?Chillin…honestly I do the same shit I do when I’m in the public eye.
Knowledge is Knowledge there is no fake or no bullshit coming from
this direction. Mr. West I am officially signing off thank you for the
opportunity and keep hitting upside our heads with that graveyard
music…..ha ha (insider). PSP and ASA for those who don’t know Philly
Support Philly and Artists Support Artists if you don’t know what that
means then you don’t need to be doing and from all of us who are truly
about ours FUCK YA’LL NUCCAS.
