-Introduce yourself; give a little background about yourself and what you do?


Whats good I go by last apostle Im a spokenword artist; For those of you who might not have heard of spokenword: its poetry that is created with the intension of being performed.I was born in N.Y ,but I rep VA, however i currently live in Greenville SC, and you can catch me at the COFFEE UNDERGROUND (open mic spot)inlighting the masses.







-What do feels separates you from others in your field?

Im different then other poets maybe because I feel like a prophet, as when I speak on the truth with no fear of how it makes me look or who it offends is how I believe i become the mouthpiece for God.





-How does society and its struggles act you and others I your field?



The pieces that Im inspired to share are 90% about struggle and the ills of society.



-Where do you see the current state of hip hop at in 5 years?

The current state of Hip Hop is revealing its intensions for the youth and culture slowly infratrating every medium and nation.It seems its goal is "the worship of self" You are God and with a puffed up chest and proud look we follow after lucifer.In five years you will see mainstrem rappers openly gay, and or satan worshipers that widely accepted by the media.







-What role does family and friends play in your career?

Family plays a major role in my career because i consider how what i do effects them, and friends are my critics(which i gladly recieve and need)





-What do you thinks separates winners from losers?

I believe T. Roosevelt one of our Presidents said"whether you win or loose is not as important as getting in the game, the spectators will only know the thrill of being in the arena." it went something like that.A losser is some one who never steps out for their dreams; a winner gets up after he losses and goes in again and again.





What advice can you give others in your field that you learned thru trial and error?

- Only advice I have for poets is dont compromise, never hold back give every thing for a group of two just as you would an audience of a thousand.







-Do you have any political views since everyone in today’s society does?

My only political view is not to believe anything they say its all a stage play.I personaly like Obama I pray for him , and I know the power of prayer.

I personaly like Obama I pray for him , and I know the power of prayer

-Switching to a serious subject, what is you view on drugs? Users, Abusers, Pushers?

Drug abuse is a big part of the subject matter in my poetry because it effected my life and everyone around me in such an adverse way. My father abused crack, and most of my male cousins sold it.

Im working on a project called REVOLUTION MUSIC"hip hop is dead" which will be something of a four runner for the movement NEW JERUSALEM RENAISSENCE-part spokenword,play,movie accompanied with the book SLUM PARADISE.
