3. Where are you from?
I’m from the bay area with roots from family in the east coast & in the south. I’m out in the wild west now in Nevada!
4. What do you do?
I made good music mang. I am a lyricist/ song writer, plus I’m working in a really cool industry, too (sup Miss Ganja baby ha-ha), but I’d like to make music a full-time move yadanamean. Yeah yo, music is life and life is music. It’s always been that and will always be that way.
5. How long have you been making music?
Honestly, I’ve always been into music since I was a kid but I haven’t been as so focused & in it as I have been in the past couple years.

6) My first songs I did & put out there are “Percy Alcohol n’ Mary Jane” & a collaboration with artist Scheme Milly called “Westside ’til I Die.
7. Who’s your inspiration?
Life, family, friends, past experiences/ current ones, and various artists from hip-hop & rap and other genres also; that is all of who and what inspires me.
8. What genre of music do you create?
I create hip-hop/ rap music, but I’m also willing and able to collaborate with other artists in and outside the genre I do. I did an alternative hip-hop/ rap track called “Cup of Coffee” that’s pretty cool – peeps should check it out!
9. Do you come up with your video concepts?
Well l, I’ve only done one music video and it was one done recently with a few other loc artists. The song is called “Infiltrating Your Mind” (listed as Shepsky on there). Peeps give it a listen and watch it: https://youtu.be/EyxAroKxDdg
10. What was it like working with _____________
I haven’t really worked with a ton of artists so far but working with Scheme Milly on the track “Westside ’til I Die” was bad ass. The recent collaboration with local artists Kody Rain & Dr. Maestro on “Infiltrating Your Mind” was hella fun (first music video experience for me!).
