The first thing I do in the morning is eat cause I am very energetic person. So I eat a lot. I relax and get ideas musically and I just hit up Leriq (Our in House producer) and we both head down to the studio and work out a beat and right after that I throw myself into the bathroom and do my daily activities and back to the. studio again. I spend most of my time in the studio.
6. When is an. Album gonna drop?
My album L.I.L.E which is an acronym for Leaving an Impact For Eternity would be out hopefully in the second quarter of this year. Probably by June 2013.
