5. IF FOR WHATEVER REASON YOUR PROFESSION OF CHOICE DOESN'T WORKOUT DO YOU HAVE A PLAN B?

I would still like to be in the entertainment industry. Maybe a promoter. Yeah! I think I'd be good at that.. I gotta kinda do it now..lol Oh!!! And maybe the radio?? Who knows.

 6. WHAT IS YOUR MAIN FOCUS?

 My main focus is to be respected. I mean the money is great. I definitely need that.. lol I mean I want my family to be in a better place, but lets be real.. The money we all spend on our careers before thing start most of us NEVER get nowhere near that back. Even if you do get signed. I want to be respected as a great lyricist, a great businessman, an ok rapper, a loyal person etc. I feel if I can get the respect.. That the rest will come. To me really what's the money if my family, company,  labelmates,  peers, fans, don't have respect for what I do. I'm old school like that I guess

 I use to sing... lol.. I was ok at it.. My cousin was trying to produce a track for me, and he told me "if YOU wanna be successful YOU have to write your OWN songs". I tried.. It's came out like a rap (A lame one at that). I was playing ball with a few friends at our court, and a friend of mine named Luke started a rap group. Asked me did I wanna be down. I said yeah and here we are almost ten years later.. lol G>T>A STAND UP!!! G-TOWN ALL-DAY!!!! LMAO

10. WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS?

 Honestly!? Still in Philly! Hopefully main stream, but realistically still underground with a pretty good following. I should be if not gettin paid to perform then just getting invite to major events out of respect. Basically my music will pay if itself. I'll still be working but not losing money on my career.

11. HAVE YOU ACCOMPLISHED ANY OF YOUR GOALS YET?

 Yes! I have my own entertainment company.. Lights' Out Entertainment LLC based out of Philadelphia, PA. I've had it for 4 years now.

I'm out of the "ignore" stage of my career. Now I'm in the "Who are you again?" stage. Whoever tells you that's not a goal to them is lying. Sorry that's just how I feel. I mean it could just be me but... I doubt it!

Cetti, Deuce D, B.West, D.O.E Boy, BabyDoll, Trizzy, G-Dash, etc. Just to say I did a track with EVERYBODY from philly would be SOOO HUGE to me!! Most importantly tho to make everyone that rides with me better then they were when they started f*ckin wit me. That's real!
