They’re mostly downloaded from file sharing sites on the internet. I just wait till I hear something I like and then run with it. It’s rare that I’ll have any idea of what I want to make, and, if I do, it’s rare that it’ll turn out like that. I just go up and mess with samples until I hear something. I never have any ideas about what I want to make. Where do you get the ideas for your music? I was hitting up everyone that I wanted to work with and that was when I started to talk with rappers that I’d actually heard of. We got a MySpace page and just started sending out messages to people and sending them stuff. The end of 2007 was when I started trying to get stuff out, and putting it online. I was doing that for years: just bringing out music and not many people hearing it. We used to just take them to school and give them away for free. When I first started making beats I didn’t put them online. How did the transition go from making beats with your friends to becoming a producer? I bought an old Yamaha sampler and was just messing with my friends and rapping over them. I didn’t start trying to produce and make Hip Hop beats until I was about 14 years old and I was in my first year of High School.

When I was really young I used to play drums and was always trying to teach myself other instruments.
