BKRY-How do you feel about the current state of Hip Hop?

I feel like hip hop will never die, it only evolves and its coming back to what it used to be , but with a new twist on things , at the same time putting that emphasis back on the lyrical content that it has missed for so long.

BKRY-The music game is saturated. Describe your style and why there is room for your music.

My style is straight to the point!! No fuckery or beating around the bush.. Lyrical, conceptional, and heart felt!! There's always room for that..

BKRY- What's a studio session like with B Rock?

My sessions are pretty much structured . and short depending on how many songs I'm recording. I usually have everything ready when I go there, cause these are paid sessions. But I usually get my head right, while going over what ever it is I'm recording, then I just go in and lay it down. Simple as that.

BKRY- Anything you want to say to everybody?

Thanks to everyone who supports what I do and what I'm trying to achieve. And special thanks to all who doubted me and never thought I had a chance.
