update: we smoked a cig.

Oh man that's a tough one. I'm going to give you more than you probably wanted. I opened for Mac Miller at Mariucci Arena in Minneapolis, that was dope because we had giant monitors and wireless mics and were on a jumbotron and shit. It was mind-blowing.

On the flip side, last year my friends Glassworks Improv had a house in Eau Claire that they did basement shows at, it was where I really learned proper crowd work and banter. The place as crazy, a bunch of drunk kids throwing shows all the time. It was raw. Amazing. The kind of place you felt completely free to be as weird as you want. So that's one of my favorites for sure.

I want to play at Low End Theory in LA really bad. Its like the hub of alt-rap right now and sort of seems like mecca for me. Obviously playing the garden or somewhere like that would be incredible. First Ave Mainroom is also a dream of mine.

My sexual preference plays a huge part in my experience in the world. Being gay has had a huge impact on my life.

idk man, I feel you and I struggle with this as well, trust me. But I'm proud to be gay and I am open about it because there's a ton of kids that can't / aren't because of their situations. Maybe me being like "yo Im gay and I rap and its okay to be proud of who you are" will help someone out. I'm not sure. I'm just livin and doing the best I can.

I've only been "in the scene" for a few years now but from what I can tell the music scene is becoming more and more diverse all the time. We've got guys like sloslylove making this rad dance music. I caught a band called Terminator Jeans at Mousetrap last night that was a new experimental noise rock project. We have an unbelievable amount of music being created for the size of the city. Hell, some nights I'll go to 3 or 4 different shows. Hopefully the future holds more collaboration and cross-genre shows.

I love Minneapolis. I love Brooklyn. I've never been to LA but LA altrap is my favorite type of hip-hop right now (hellfyre club, ect.). I wanna check out LA and I might end up there. The problem is that I can live really cheaply here and focus on writing and rapping. I also miss EC really bad when I leave. For now I'm happy here, we'll see how I feel in 6 month.
