Jackson: What is it about Brooklyn and rap?

Sportin': What can I say Jackson. Its a lot of hip hop lovers in the BK and the majority of people in Brooklyn listen to Hip Hop more than they listen to any other genre. Plus every young female or male wants to represent Brooklyn to the fullest.

Jackson: Where do you rank yourself with the two artist just mentioned?

Sportin: I respect both of those artists. As far as Im concern they both are putting out good material but Im a good artist myself and with that said, my pops always told me never put another man above myself. So you know Im putting myself in the number one position.

Jackson: When do you think your music will be available for purchase in the Record Stores?

Sportin': Mid-summer for sure! Depending on pending situations.

Sportin': weve been getting a lot of good feedback, people been hitting it up and requesting more and more music.

Jackson: What has been the hardest hurdle to obtain the ultimate of goal a record deal?

Sportin': Patients! Some days I hear a voice in my head telling me that its taking too long and sometimes it feels like its never going to happen but when I look back at where Ive come from it just gives me more motivation to go in the studio and work harder on more material.

Jackson: I get a lot of comments from people who read my interviews. What I want to do with you is give out a dozen or so of your CDs to folks who want to check you out! Can we do that playboy?

Sportin: I dont mind! Ok lets do it!
