• Who or what got you into hip hop?
2pac! My uncle's favourite Rapper, I was inspired by his songs because my uncle was always playing them.
• What do you write about in most of your songs and why?
I write about love because It's a heightening of senses, an interruption of thoughts and a visitation from another world. They can bring you back to your happiest or, unfortunately to your saddest moments in life. Listeners relate to many different emotions in songs, love songs resonate, especially deeply because people feel love so deep. For general audiences, love songs are like greeting cards, they can help people express their feelings when words don't come easily.
• What is the Good hiphop Bad Thing about Hip hop around your hood according to your experiences?
The good thing is that it inspires the people around Me (in My Hood) to do better in their Lives and go for their Dreams.
The Bad thing about Hip hop is that some use hip-hop for Competition and beef. Going against each other which end up causing division between their fans
• Sticks… What is the story behind this stage name?
I was given the name Sticks by soccer players, I was once a soccer player, they said I looked like sticks, a Yizo Yizo drama character, that's where the name came from.
• If there could be one thing you would like to change about Hip hop around your hood, what would it be and why?
I would kill the spirit of competition and introduce a unique hip hop style that will earn attention and respect again because fans are no longer paying attention to hip hop.
