I’m from where the majority of all of us are from, right in the middle of the bullshit. I grew up in the major cities in Minnesota. South Minneapolis, North Minneapolis & Brooklyn Park. I come from a real mixed family you know that I had to overcome many obstacles in life which made me who I am today.
Where are you from generally ?
The state of Minnesota and I lived in Minneapolis most of my life. I know I have got a family of my own in my home town.
When did you start making music ?
I started making music in 2017. That’s where I started to learn my flow and sound. It wasn’t easy at first quickly, but I took a liking quickly to my voice.
What inspired you to get into the music industry ?
My brother Jodé Exo suggested we do it one day and I just, ain’t ever stopped, since it’s been a passion of mine ever since.
What is the most challenging thing you have overcome in your life ?
Honestly, it’s staying motivated day to day. You know, that shit is a new challenge every day to wake up and find whatever it is you need to be self-driven.
Do you have any current projects or sing out, if yes, tell us more ?
I just released a new album titled “Two Tone Demon”, 17 songs, and it’s really just some of the best music I’ve made to date. I think it’s something for everybody on there.
Who inspires you the most musically ?
Artists such as Lil Wayne, Young Thug, Future & Youngboy. I think the way they’ve always approached music is just with a relentless nature. So that’s something I mentally always try to tap into when I get into the studio.

I think it’s getting people to recite and memorize words that are about my life. Ain’t really topped that.
