Would you still sign a record contract with a major label?

I have got a lot of underground offers but all were really not that good, but they are getting better by the day. I have moved into full swing since 10/11/04 when my beautifil little girl Elaina Rae Morris was born, and things have been getting better by the day.

Your influences?

Music period is my influence. Nothing else.

Where are you originally from?

I am originally from Chicago, IL. Southside 38th N Michigan. A lot of drama was going down everyday and I always had something to get into. They are tearing the Robert Taylor projects down because they said it was costing them too much and the environment was bad which that is not true. I moved to the South suburbs with all the rich folks after my mom and dad got married and supposedly my dad had a whole lot of money. My mom and dad got a divorce. Me and my brothers (Nate'Mo and B.Y.) had moved out with my mom to other parts of the Southside. When things weren't working out for her, she met a man named John Webb, and soon they started dating and John agreed that he would move in my brother and me with my mom and he had no problems with it. He lived in NJ. So I had moved to the east coast expecting that people would hate just because I am from the Chi. Instead it was the total opposite, they loved me being from the Chi, kind of gave them a different view of how things was going on in the world around them. I lived there for 6 years and moved back to IL for 2 years, and then I finally ended up in Memphis, TN. Since I have been here I have had 3 shows and a very powerful and faithful fan base. Guess that is why I am doing this interview now.

How long have you been into Hip/Hop?

I have been rapping since I was 16 in Teaneck, NJ. Everyone on the east coast are more into lyrical content then the quality of music. That right there improved my lyrical skill better than all of my friends except one, and that was "Block Noise." A very good friend of mines who lyrical content would surprise even some of the hottest emcees today. The difference between me and him is that his state of mind focuses more on lyrics and a feeling of what is going on at the time, I on the other hand make music for the people regardless of lyrics, sounds, genre, etc. I hear a beat and automatically I have a vibe for that song and it cannot be changed no matter what. My style really developed even more when I moved to Memphis because everyone here heard me rap and immediately said I must be signed, which really I am a independent artist that does a lot of work. I am now 21 and doing shows here in Memphis and I have collaborated with many artist down here that are considered the next best thing. Now I am getting calls like they are so I am going down that same road.
