Describe to us your style of rapping.

Peoples interest in my music is a big motivation for me and its what I think about when I make songs.

Yes, I have. I like Nike and Adidas, but I only spend that kind of money when I find a really cool design.
What rappers do you look up to?
I look up to T(Yoon Mi Rae), another female Korean rapper. I think she's the best rapper in Korea, no question. She can sing and rap well. I have so much respect for that and I'm gonna be like her in the not so distant future.
Have you ever been drunk and woke up not knowing where you are?
Lol, No, Not at all.

I'm ready to release my mixtape this year and I want to participate in all kinds of competitions and performances here in Korea. I think both will be good for my career.
