Sixshot.Com: Who would you say are some of your musical influences?

Hedonis Da Amazon: NWA influenced me. They were real ignorant and that was funny to me.

I try not to just spit whatever on a track. I try to make a song depending on what I’m feeling at that moment. To me that makes every joint I make sound more authentic.
