 24: What made you want to start doing music as a profession?
Stacks: Music has always been my passion and it has always been in my family for a long time. My father use to manage groups like Family Stone, and Peaches & Herb to name a few. Then when me and my family moved to Miami from Philly, we started a label called Sobe Entertainment and put out a couple of acts such as Urban Mystic, Brooke Hogan and I was working on my project on the side and my love for music grows every day.

24: You always seem to have the right collaboration with artist from “M.I.A.” with P.Diddy to “Money Ova Here” featuring Lil Wayne?
Stacks: I think it’s the relationships we have with people. I started off with the cooperate balling type of song with P.Diddy which is what the fan’s would have expected and to throw people off, I decide to do a more street track which came out perfect with Lil Wayne called “Money Ova Here” and after 2 years from the track with P.Diddy it seemed to be the right record to comeback.

24: What should the people expect from you when they pick up your album?
Stacks: A real album is something you can pop in and listen from start to finish and actually really appreciate compared to a lot of the albums that are out today which is 99.9% bullshit I feel like the people will agree every track on the album will make it a classic, plus with the people associated with it it’s going to be a classic I promise you that.

24: What producers have you been working with and producer you have not worked with yet that you would love to do a song with?
Stacks: I worked with Scott Storch, Steve Morales (Who recently produced Fabolous’ new single “Diamonds On My Neck”), Swiss Beatz, and a lot others but a producer that I have not worked with but would love to is Dr.Dre and Timbaland.

24: Recently Miami has started a powerful Movement with the release of Rick Ross album, DJ Khaled, Pitbull, the recent signing of Brisco (Poe-Boy Ent. /Cash Money), Flo Rida (Poe-Boy Ent. /Atlantic), and your recent signing (Sobe Ent. /Cash Money) but what will you bring to the table to further the movement?
Stacks: I going to bring something that Miami has not seem before. Rick Ross and Brisco have their own style and subject matter and I feel like I cover a part of Miami that no one has yet touched on. I live right here on South Beach and my issues and subject matter is completely different and I feel like I cater more to the youths to be honest with you, and Miami right now is a melting pot of the world and you will here a lot of different things.

24: You are very well known for always driving the hottest new rides what are your favorite everyday car and what car is your show stopper?
Stacks: I usually drive around in a white Phantom as my everyday car and to pull up to the club I have a black McClearen that I actually drove to a Core DJ’s Atlantic party recently.

24: In your past video you chopped of the top of the Phantom so were you extremely happy when they came out with the convertible coupe?
Stacks: Yeah, and the white one I’m driving, I got it at a discount price because of that and I felt like it was the next thing for them to do. They debuted it a couple of weeks ago and I got to see it and it was beautiful man I think they always wanted to cater to the urban community and Hip Hop community and we just help them by chopping the top off.

24: I recently saw you in DJ Khaled new video for “We Taking Over” and Lil Wayne & Birdman “You Don’t Know” so when will the fan’s get to see the video for “Money Ova Here?”
Stacks: Hopefully soon. We are trying to plan that out because Birdman & Lil Wayne is on tour right now so I’m trying to organize that ASAP.

24: What do you think is the biggest misconception people have about you?
Stacks: I think people see me and see what I have and assume a lot and it was always an issue with me coming into the game based on the back ground and my family being blessed with money but because of it I have seen a lot of shit the average person have not seen it’s a gift & a curse as well [More Money, More Problems]. I put my education on hold to for this because I feel the industry is fucked up and I feel I can do it better then 99% of the artist that’s out there today.

24: What was the last album you bought?
Stacks: I actually just went CD shopping yesterday so the CD I’m bumping is Paul Wall “Get Money Stay True” that shit is the shit!

24: What’s next in line for Stacks?
Stacks: Just getting this album out and ready with this Sobe Entertainment/Cash Money and making sure everything is organized like I mentioned before then we are going start touring and promoting these new singles.
