Peace SD Kong ! We are glad to host you on our platform. We like what you are doing out there in Spain. You, in fact, are a Madrid native, correct? We imagine that when you were a kid in Madrid, as in many Italian cities, Hip-Hop was not as rooted as it is today: what was your hometown hip-hop scene like when you were growing up? Who were your local and international influences?<\/h4>\n

Peace, peace! My pleasure. Well I was actually born in the US, Charlotte (North Carolina) to be precise. Half my family is spread throughout the States and I came to Madrid with my mother at the age of 2.<\/p>\n

I was heavily influenced by my cousins who listened to rap music, made a lot of trips to the motherland and learned a lot about the culture, it pretty much took off from there, personally I didn\u2019t have much examples or scene near me when I was growing up other than the records I could gather and very few friends who also listened to rap. That was it.<\/p>\n

First records that come to mind are \u201cBeneath the Surface\u201d by GZA, \u201cAre You Hip Hop Biggest Fan?\u201d by VVAA or \u201cHecho Es Simple\u201d by 7 Notas 7 Colores.<\/p>\n
