Hi raymond, what do you want your legacy to be?
When I’m done with my music career I want people to remember me for always representing my coast And trying to always keep West Coast hip hop On top

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Beieng in the music business is tough It has to be A full time commitment if you wanna make it I’ve learned a lot from personal mistakes and watching my peers make mistakes I’ve got to where I am with a lot of hard work and never giving up It wasn’t easy I faced a lot of trials and tribulations I’ve also Ran into times where I wanted to quit or stop doing this because of It not working out the way I wanted to. I’ve learned a lot along the way about the music business It can be tough trusting people The music business can be cut throat.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
When I get friends from outta town coming to LA I usually take them to Hollywood and Most of my friends are music producers, videographers or vinyl collectors so I take them to record stores like record parlour or Amoeba. And when my friends who are photographers or videographers come to town I take them to downtown LA to get pics or video of los angeles. I Take my producer friends to different studios. I also like to hang out at Griffith park and fly my drone. Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to dedicate this shout out to my wife whos always In my corner supporting my whole music career and my mom from the beginning told me to never stop And to Put my all into my music.
