How do you supplement your career as a musician?

I don’t know if I’m doing a good job. I’m quickly burning through my advance in typical rapper fashion. So now I DJ at “bro bars” in NYC on the weekends.

Do you have a side-hustle?

I’m working on developing an app with a couple tech dudes.

What is the worst job you ever had?

Waiting and bar tending in LA was terrible. I was at a bougie restaurant on the beach. The clientele was not my scene. A lot of smug ass families and cocky business men in suits.

What is your biggest obstacle as an artist trying to make it in a busy industry?

Biggest obstacle: keeping up with all the connections I make in a solid way. There’s so many people I want to work with and everyone is just as busy as me. Finding that time to grind and collab can be hard at times.
