The Details

Collaborations:
I'm not against collaborations at all and I definitely don't mind working with other artists to create new sounds.  Just don't come at me all rude and cocky and we're all good.  I tend not to work with rappers that are excessively misogynistic or violent.

Responding to people in general:
If you're rude, I will not respond.  If all you message me with is 'ey can u giv me ur beatz???,' I will not respond. Use your common sense.  I tend also to not respond to people who keep asking stuff that's already answered here.

You can speed up the process considerably by sending booking proposals to the email address listed above with the subject line "EVENT BOOKING".

If you're already on my friend's list, thanks for your support.

I know I'm nowhere without my listeners and the people who appreciate my music, so I take the time to read and reply to every comment and message. Sometimes it takes a while, but I do it, because you guys are important to me.

What I don't understand is why guys that aren't even as big as me yet choose to go around with automated adds and comments. You got time-- what else you gonna do after your spam-blaster is done adding 10,000 people? None of those people know you on a personal level, they ain't gonna care about your shit.

Here's my policy on adding people-- if you are an artist and you add me strictly to promote yourself without giving a second thought to MY music, you will be denied.

If you add me with an automated program and you're a nobody, you will get denied.

If you add me asking me to listen to your music, I will. But if your punk ass is too good to take a few minutes to listen to my stuff and let me know what you think, congrats, I get to delete you. Your shit was whack anyways.

I don't give a fuck about your mixtape. Your shit is lamer than a one legged waitress at IHOP. Stop spamming me, stop spamming other people. Spam doesn't get people to care. Caring about others FIRST gets others to care about you.

This was a really long ramble and there are a million things I had in my mind, but I've got shit to do and I'm hungry.

To those of you that take the time to rock my banner and listen to my music, I can't thank you guys enough. I love you all.
