“What you niggas asked for” – Tailored

I like to roll an elite spliff and sing something to mellow me out, like some Leontyne Price or D’Angelo. He the GOAT. D’Angelo is like a senzu bean for us singing niggas

We Haitians got this strong ass rum called “Barbancourt”. Two shots of that, a spliff, and cigarette. You will most definitely find me 5 minutes before showtime, smoking a cigarette while going over melodies lol. A nigga like to be precise.

Wu Tang, The Firm, Junior Mafia, Missy Elliot, & Beyonce.

I used to think that the industry was just about a dollar and that’s why content suffered but now I’m starting to think that the industry doesn’t have faith in the “classic” anymore. The industry is waiting to be inspired by an influx and not JUST the individual. Its been a while since that happened, so to me the music industry is a powerful body with no faith.

Artists and media personalities you like to work with more?

I want to work with everybody who believes in themselves. Those “my only plan B is to reinforce plan A” type of creatives. I’m not chasing the feature that will bring US the most fame. I will NEVER chase that. If you passionate about your shit, like I am about my own, I want to work with you. I am here to learn and contribute.

Shoutout to “Lyri”. She a rapper from VA and she is ELITE. She always makes sure I’m focused on a music bag and not a fast money bag. And did I mention she is ELITE with the pen?!

Shoutout to “Foggie raw”, Mr. Fogtavious. That’s my brother. He PUT ME ON his shit when NOBODY was fucking with me. I was doing features for niggas FOR free, trying to get my shit out there. The FIRST music check I got, it was from Foggie. He believes in my shit so much, he’d drop bread for MY studio time. Also, ANOTHER ELITE ASS RAPPER. He dropped a tape recently, “FOGTAVIOUS VANDROSS”. Go bump that. I’m featured as “Jayizms”. Its SPICY!!

And shout out my bro “Jayi Steez”. That nigga got a crazy tone. Another MC to fuck with. An energy the industry NEEDS.

Tsu Surf, Flatbush Zombies, Drake, Goldlink, Bardi, Nicki Minaj, Beyonce, Janelle Monae (I really wanna do some shit for the LGBT community with her. R&B and Hip Hop tries to hard to erase a community to CONSISTENTLY feeds them. I got a dope ass concept), 21 Savage, TakeOff (ya’ll be sleeping on my nigga TakeOff)

F-Foxy Brown. She one of my favorite rappers. My ideal woman
