I’m talking from the bay. And I have shows all weekend. So it’s work as usual, lol.
Skope: When were you introduced to hip hop music and when did you start to make music?
Music has always been around me. I remember been real young an my older brother would play a lot of east coast music an they always had catchy punchline. So at the age of 17 I started to pursue music as a career.
Skope: When did you get the alias C-MOney and how does that alias rep you?
I got it from an uncle he used to always say. “You always on the money” an I just ran w/ it an it’s reps me cuz I’ve had a expensive taste. So when you see me you C-money, ha ha.
Skope: Your bio states you grew up in Oakland, California but you listen to a lot of East Coast rappers. Why is that and who were your favorite?
Def. I just feel east coast was more competitive about rap. An no offense to my city or coast but around the early 90’s the east had it on lock. An my favorites were: Nas, Wutang, Big L, Das Efx to name a few.
