In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest memories is sitting backstage at a music festival with my dad (S1W Bro Mike of Public Enemy) and getting to meet legends like Busta Rhymes, LL Cool J, Tribe Called Quest, Maya, etc., and also being able to see my dad perform. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Chance the Rapper, Coloring Book Lecrae, Anomaly Snarky Puppy, GroundUP I chose GroundUP because it's the best instrumental album ever made! It still inspires me to broaden my mind in what I create. I chose Coloring Book and Anomaly because these albums were instrumental in my lyrical style and faith in Jesus. 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. “COOKED FOOD (feat. Leuca)” COOKED FOOD is a song close to my heart because it talks about real situations you deal with in relationships and the path to forgiveness. It's a song for everyone that wants to fight for love. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Of course! I still want to go on a tour (whether headlining or opening).
