HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR MUSICAL STYLE?
My music is pain medicine. It is witty, informative, energetic, and refreshing. It is the perfect melodic blend of street scriptures and pulpit pictures. The ride is a transformation, meaning, you can't walk away from an OPlus song, thinking and feeling the same way you did when you first approached it.
WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE FROM OTHER HIP HOP ARTISTS?
My music honestly mirrors my life's experiences. Few artists, Hip Hop or other, have been through and survived the happenings that serve as the plots to OPlus music. Few artists no what it's like to grow up in a gang-infested neighborhood, like Woodlawn & Englewood, and still be educated in the best schools in the best neighborhoods. Few artists know what it's like to dodge bullets on the Southside of Chicago one night, and have lunch with Jamie Dimon or Warren Buffet the next. Not many artists know what it is to loose everything in Hurricane Katrina one year, and yet build a record label that financially sustains them the next year. As an artist, I'm able to survive on both sides of the game where other artists have not even seen.
WHAT IS YOUR ULTIMATE GOAL WITH YOUR ART AND YOUR MUSIC?
With my art, I ultimately want to make the best music ever created. I want to unify the masses with my sound. I want to bring people together from all walks of life, ages, races, and creeds; those who would have otherwise been unacquainted finding kinship in their appreciation for my art.
With my music, I want to work with a number of artists, I really enjoy the synergy of having talented people under the same roof, and make a lane for those whose circumstances don't allow them to have the same advantages that I've known. Ultimately, I want to be remembered for being the hardest-working and thus most successful contributor to what we call the "music industry."
WHO AND WHAT ARE YOUR MAJOR INFLUENCES?
They say 'necessity is the mother of all creation' but I'd have to say poverty is. Having to go without, is what influences many of my songs." Life for me ain't been no crystal stair." As far as music icons go, Quincy Jones, hands down....I love that dude! As an artist, Common, Nas, 2Pac, Scarface, and JayZ. As a producer (don't sleep, I'm mean on the beats too) Timbaland, Dr. Dre, 9th Wonder, Kanye West, and Justice League.
