Is there anybody in particular that you’ve seen perform or heard that made you want to start rhyming? Actually, it was just from hanging around Mikey and his rapper friends who were doing big things. Curren$y, Dom [Kennedy], Asher [Roth], Mac Miller, etc. We’d run into these guys all the time. I was in that environment already. I started to pick up on what they were doing. I’ve seen all of them perform for years and was a fan. I got to meet them at their raw state so that definitely inspired me to get to where I am now. What’s on tap for the future? I got a bunch of shows coming up. I’ll be on the next Mac Miller [Macadelic] tour. After that, I’ll keep hitting the road and making more music. Other than that you can look out for the Toothpick Clique clothing line. That’s some fresh shit that we put together. Me and the fellas was wearing it so we said to ourselves that we might be able to go somewhere with it. We just got it up and running. People can check that out at www.toothpickclique.com. We’ve got a basic catalog of sweats, some tees and our logos on some other things. Chicago is legendary for making noise and holding it down musically. What are you going to bring to the table to differentiate yourself? I’m bringing the straight modern playa. It’s everything I was raised on. I’m a dude that’s only 24 years old and already like an O.G. to the little homies coming up.
We’re basically putting our own spin on everything you’ve probably heard coming out of the Chi. It’s made for everybody that’s into right now. This shit is gold. I bring that versatility like it’s nothing. What are you listening to now in the headphones or what do you blast when riding around in the whip? James Brown, [Young] Jeezy, I just made a new car ride CD the other day. I got Big Mike, Lil’ Wayne, ASAP Rocky and the new Mac [Miller]. Who do you rely on for tracks and who do you plan to work with production wise on your future projects? I’ve been working with a lot of local cats and young producers that sent beats to my email for the mixtape. I’ve got some CARDO on there, Billionaire Boyscout, DJ Thunder, Thelonious Martin, Braggs, Lex Luger. Me and CARDO are planning on finishing an EP with like six or seven tracks. I’m starting to get in tune with a lot of the up and coming Chicago acts as well. I keep getting new stuff every day. We gonna style it out. Do you have any last thoughts? Keep your ears open and get ready. I should finish several projects before the summer. Tris J is about to get it poppin in one hot second so be on the lookout.
