GRACIN GLORY






WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU WANT PEOPLE THAT AREN'T YET FANS OF YOUR  MUSIC TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?

I just want my fans to know that im here to please there headphones & speakers.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYNA BRING TO THE GAME?

What I'm trying to bring to the game is cinematic music. Real story telling, about my life and dealings within it. #truestories. lol

WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR MUSICAL INFLUENCES?

Nas, Cormega, Mos Def, Common,  2pac, Jay z, and most importantly Will Smith. They all bring there own flavor to the game, some more than others.

WHO/WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

There are many things that inspire me,  I can look at someone on the train and from there facial expression they can tell a story of laughter or pain, that might inspire me to write a story about just what I seen in there eyes.. Just everyday life inspires me.


WHO TAUGHT YOU ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE LESSONS IN LIFE?

I would say, that 2pac taught me a valuable lesson. Live life today, because tomorrow isn’t promise. Live in that moment, thank God once you wake up cause tomorrow ……. Tomorrow isn’t here yet.

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOUR LIFE WOULD YOU? WHAT WOULD IT BE? AND WHY?

I wouldn’t change anything. Everything I been through happened for a reason and helped me become the artist I am today. It helped shape me and mold me into the man I am right now.

IF YOU HAD TO WORK A 9-5 WHAT WOULD YOU SEE YOURSELF DOING?

I would see myself doing retail. I love retail, its easy, plus I love interacting and seeing new faces. Just the thought of me helping the customer is great. I can relate that also to music… Music and retail are pretty music the same form, gotta satisfy the customer. Lol.

WHAT DO YOU WANT OUT OF LIFE WHAT WOULD TRULY MAKE YOU HAPPY?

I would say that having a family would make me happy. Wife, kids, the whole nine.  I think that would top it off.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVE SPORT AND TEAM?

My favorite sport is Basketball and yes I’m a knick fan……(haters are staring). lol

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ABOUT THE STATE OF MUSIC?

I think the state of music is at  a point where it needs something fresh, everyone is trying to be like the next rapper, no one is really bringing there own originality. And the record labels are only signing one hit wonders.  I think music is starting to take shape now that J.cole (big ups to him) is helping the push towards.

HOW LONG YOU BEEN RAPPIN?

I’ve been rapping for about  6  years. I started off writing poetry, then I slowly transitioned  into rapping.

WHO ARE YOU TOP 5 MC'S

Nas,  Jay z,  Common, Kanye West,  Kid Cudi

WHAT ARE 3 THINGS YOU CANT LIVE WITHOUT?

Haha, that’s a hard one.. ummmmm …… Clean Clothes,  Notepad & Books

IF YOU COULD PICK 3 ARTISTS PAST OR PRESENT TO WORK WITH WHO WOULD YOU PICK?

Damn….. I would say  Kid Cudi,  Daniel Merriweather &  Ne-Yo

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE: COOL LAID BACK, IN YOUR FACE, CONSCIOUS?

I would say conscious, I write Cinematic Music. I like to tell story, and I try to paint vivid pictures of whats going on, I can be really Graphical, but hey, its my style. lol

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING TO SUCCEED?

I really don’t know, its all up 2 the listeners  to tell me if im going to succeed, but ill tell you this. I will not stop grinding though. I love to write music, and ill continue to give my 100%

WHEN DID YOU REALIZE YOU LOVED MUSIC MORE THAN THE AVERAGE PERSON?

I realized it when I was writing one day with my boy Noel and Adam, I was just playing around then I found myself, in a cypher at school, then it just kinda came naturally.

IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME AT HOW RAPPERS CAN JUST GO OFF THE TOP WHEN FREESTYLIN... HOW DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU, DO YOU JUST SAY AIIGHT IMA GO ON THIS TOPIC OR DOES IT JUST COME TO YOU AS YOUR SPITTIN?

I usually have just let it come to me.  I don’t get the chance to freestyle a lot but when I do, I gotta let it flow, and the more you do that, the more you become better at it.
