My hustle and grind are unmatched. People who pay to come out and see artists are doing so to see and hear things they can’t get by just listening to the CD. So at my shows, I put forth themes, props, dancing, girls, interludes, and segues between songs and ideas so people are entertained. I get tired of seeing cats walk from one side of the stage to the other, thinking that their music is hot enough that they don’t have to put on a show. That’s bullshit. So I make sure my stage shows are something to behold, with shock and entertainment value to give people their money’s worth and show them I care. It’s a privilege and an honor to have folks want to see you perform.” DALLAS MUSIC SCENE “I’m putting the Dallas music scene on my back. I’ll carry it to a more national vision, and in doing so, open up the door so the world can see the vast amount of talent here. Also, I will try to assist in building more of a music business infrastructure here to support that talent.” INTERESTING FACT “I am not only an artist, but a classicallytrained jazz musician on the trombone. I have an MS in Physics and I have a CCNP certification for Network Engineering. That’s my day job until this rappin’ pays off. I’m a professionally trained Mastering Engineer. Almost everything you’ve heard from me was recorded, mixed, and mastered by myself in my own home studio.” FUCK YOU, PAY ME “I paid my dues and put in my time. So if you ain’t talkin’ about cash, power, and advancement, then you ain’t talkin’ about jack shit with me. If you real, we can swap work.” - Edward Hall
