A.L.I.A.S.

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Seeing the birth of hip-hop by the pioneers firsthand being born in the South Bronx and being inspired by real lyricists like Rakim, Nas, Jay-Z, Jadakiss, Kanye West, Big Pun, KRS-1, J Cole, Meek Mill, TI, Rick Ross, Ice Cube, Outkast and 50 Cent. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Anita Baker, Rapture JAŸ-Z, Reasonable Doubt Michael Jackson, Thriller All of these have been influences on my life and style of writing which helped me create The World Ain't Ready: Chapter 1 - Rise to Power, On Top of the World: Chapter 2 - The Takeover and soon released The World Is Mine: Chapter 3 - The Untouchable. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Gettin' Paid” This song melodically captures the essence of the big sounds of the 70's Curtis Mayfield era but modernizes it with East Coast boom bap energy and the luxurious street hustle energy of making money as an evergreen anthem for motivation & inspiration. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Touring New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte, Atlanta, New Orleans and Miami, absorbing all of these music influences and opening for Cardi B, Meg the Stallion, Ice Spice, Sexyy Red and signing my first autograph for a fan who recognized me. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Of course... sell a million records to go platinum, do a world wide tour, work with producers like Just Blaze, JUSTICE League, Dr Dre, Swizz Beats, Timbaland, RZA, Kanye West and perform on an awards show like MTV, Grammys, BET and NAACP Awards.
