I never lie to any man because I don't fear anyone.The only time you lie is when you are afraid They take my kindness for weakness. They take my silence for speechless. They consider my uniqueness strange. They call my language slang. They see my confidence as conceit. They see my mistakes as defeat. They consider my success accidental. They minimize my intelligence to "potential". My questions mean "I'm unaware". My advancement is somehow unfair. Any praise is preferential treatment. To voice concern is discontentment. If I stand up for myself, I'm too defensive. If I don't trust them, I'm too apprehensive. I'm defiant ! if I separate. I'm fake if I assimilate. Yet, constantly I am faced with people who hate. My character is constantly under attack. Pride for my race makes me, "TOO BLACK". Yet, I can only be me. And, who am I you might ask? I am that Strong Black Man... Who stands on the backs of my ancestor's achievements, with an erect spine pointing to the stars with pride, dignity and respect which lets the work place in America know, that I not only possess the ability to play by the rules, but I can make them as well!

THE INTERVIEW WITH GERMANY FRONT TO BACK MAGAZINE
code:
Known for the beautiful countryside, beaches
and legal smoking, Jamaica has some other
great qualities. Especially introducing Reggae
artists to the world of music. The last year there
came out another talented musician from
Kingston, Jamaica.
Butta B doesn’t make that type of music you
know from Jamaica. He combines Dancehall
with Hip Hop Reggae to a new powerful sound.
This new and distinctive sound, which Butta
delivers, shows us a new side of music
influenced by Jamaican lifestyle and American
life.
Front2Back: You are born and raised in
Kingston, Jamaica. Do you write about your
childhood and all your experiences during
this time?
Yes, some of my material reflects the lifestyle of
my life in Kingston.
You are also connected with the Dallas Hip
Hop scene right? How did you come up with
the Dallas Hip Hop scene and how did that
influenced you on your way?
I did an audition for 97.9 the Hip Hop radio
station in Dallas, Texas. It opened the doors for performances at local clubs as well as features with
other local artist.
How’s your situation with regard to a record deal or something like that?
I am not signed to any label at this time but still have my demo circulating waiting for the right offer.
Can you describe your daily routine of your day?
Get up and grind all day everyday. Music is a way of life for me so therefore that’s all I do.
What do you expect from the future and the rap game?
With my debut album titled “Diversified” coming soon I am expecting to find a place in the
rap/reggae game as for the future of rap I think it will be around for a long time. We need more record
labels to open their doors to new artist to carry the movement of rap / hip hop / reggae.
Do you think there should be more rappers which are rapping for the love and not only for the
money?
Your craft should be done first for the love and trust me the money will follow.
At last can you tell us what you always carry with you when you are in the studio?
A pad sometimes and a Redbull to get that vibe going
