Divine Styler

You guys did-

That's the perfect example, you know? Put me in a room with one of my best friends, Divine Styler, one of the best producers I know, and one of the craziest Spanish rappers I've ever heard, and-

Yep

... let's see what happens.

And I used to hang out with a bunch of guys, and they rapped.

A guy named Divine Styler and a few other guys that went on to do a few things.

But I would do it just to make fun of, like, you know, joke about your mom or whatever.

But I'd do it rapping.

I mean, it wasn't about money or it was about, knowing what it was like

this new thing like um uh and so they were making demos and stuff and i kind of would be painting with them and you know or or hanging out at the houses doing outlines or whatever just while they're wrapped and i i make up raps to like as jokes you know i mean kind of a thing like you know your mom this or that but i'd do it with with a rap kind of like and and my buddy who is is uh known as the divine styler pulled me aside and said you know you could really rap you should give it give it a shot and i made a demo and ice tea signed me so it was kind of like um I feel like that's kind of how, you know, I'm a very fortunate dude.

I don't know what I did in a previous life, but the road signs are always clear where I'm supposed to be and what I'm supposed to be doing.

I've never questioned it, good or bad.

So what I love to do here is I love to ask the question, for you, I'd love to know who was the one artist that inspired you the most, whether it be personally or creatively?

Ooh.

Um, the one the most, my friend, divine styler, you know,

first guy to encourage me to rap.
