4 .When did you start making music
16 I spit my first freestyle when I was 14 and watched a Big Homie of mine rap. It wasn’t too bad. 2 years later I had been writing music and recording quietly. Through a friend I was given the opportunity to preform for the first time. Not prepared, I said fxxx it. I preformed a 2 song set and I never looked back

7. Who inspires you the most?
2 people. My wife. Through everything, being homeless being broke struggling day to day to legitimately eat. Going through addiction, loss, and so many other things. She never wavered. She stayed strong, driven, and motivated everyday to keep going. She inspires me everyday to wake up not complain and get sxxx done
8.What got you into making music?
After my first show, and the first time I had a rehearsed performance, with my name on the top of those old school flyers we would make back in the day that was probably the first taste of knowing I wanted to full time rap. I slotted right before APE SHIT and UNDUCATI in Manchester NH at a spot called Millys Tavern. I had the flu, but I got up and straight slaughtered my set. When I was about 30 seconds from being done and I was going through my last hook, I remember looking out into the crowd (seeing quadruple from….anyways
) EVERYBODY, artists and the people I opened for included, were jumping, screaming, smiling and holding drinks and blunts in the air, the music stopped and the place erupted. That was when I knew. This is it.

As CHOPSQUAD DJ. He’s produced some smacks for King VON and TEE GRIZZLY
