2Z: I was born into music. My older sister was a DJ. She noticed my love for music and by the time i was 8 i had 2 turn tables, a mixer and about 3 crates of records in my room. I’m inspired by Life and my purpose.

24: What makes you Unique as a artist and different from other rappers out now?

2Z: 1st off I don’t like to call myself a rapper. I’m a “Artist.” What’s going to make me stand out is that I’m not standing in no BOX. I’m not afraid to take any chances. And i don’t wanna be like anybody.

24: Tell us about what you are working on.

2Z: Well right now I am working on this GOOFOFF movement with my Brother 12 and shooting a new music video.

24: What producers have you worked with and who would you like to work with in the future?

2Z: I work with my Friend Shomari Wilson aka ShoNuff aka Sleezy on most of my records. He is definitely one of the best Producers in the game. I also work Madd Scientist and Bad Man Productions. At this time I am content with my team… But I am open to work with dope producers.

24: Are you happy with the feedback you have been getting from people on material you have released?

2Z: I’m so happy with the feed back I been getting weather it’s good or bad. I’ll take it.

24: In today’s free download age, what do you need that you don’t have to make yourself a household name?

2Z: Well as long as everyone is ready for a breath of fresh air I think I will become a household name due to my good music, crazy live performances and originality.

24: How do you feel about the current state of the Hip-Hop scene?

24: Where do you see yourself going in 2012 and how do you plan to separate yourself from the other artist out today to get the recognition you feel you deserve?
