What are your plans for the future?
I am planning to release a mixtape with 10 tracks and 3 single albums and when the singles are released I will go busking.
Tell us more about the mixtape, 'Holy Water' you just released.
I was working on my first mixtape when I was going to college and I put all my thoughts about my dignity in it. The first mixtape is filled with tracks that I worked on when I first started rapping. So the tracks may be immature but it still has it's freshness and pureness. I may be more mature now, but I don't think that I will be able to express those freshness nor pureness. Are you working in new music?
I am working on my new single now but I am not really good at handling my sequencer such as Cubaease, logic etc. So it takes a lot of time. I should have participated more in class back in my college days. I will produce, sing and rap more music with different genres and be more challenging to myself.
