24HHH: Introduce yourself to everyone that doesn’t already know who you are?
4EvaBreeze: I am "4EvaBreeze" an up and coming rapper, entertainer and entrepreneur fresh out of Flatbush Brooklyn.
24HHH: How did you come up with your Artist name? Tell us about it.
4EvaBreeze: The history behind "Breeze" comes from my childhood. The "4Eva" came after I discovered who I was and what exactly I wanted to pursue for the rest of my life. 4EvaBreeze means "I am Breeze for eternity" no gimmicks no made up shit. I am forever me and will continue to be 4EvaBreeze.
24HHH: Where are you from, and what was it like growing up there?
4EvaBreeze: Flatbush Brooklyn is where I'm from. Living in Brooklyn isn't the sweetest environment for everyone but for an individual of my caliber who has been living there all my life and becoming a product of the area, it was a struggle…but not as ruff as others. Brooklyn is my home..
24HHH: Who were you raised by? Tell us your family situation. Got any brothers, sisters, or any siblings? Tell us about your childhood, and how it impacted your music?
4EvaBreeze: After getting taken away from my father and loosing my mother to drugs at a young age….my aunt took legal custody of me but regardless I floated from group home to group home, detention center to detention center and as I grew older the consequences of my actions became greater. But all in all the streets raised me. I have a younger sister and two brothers who unfortunately endured the same pain and struggle I did throughout our childhood. At the end of day my prison sentences and life experiences leave me with no regret…they have become the ingredients that have made me the person I am today. I now only use my past as my motivation which is the key to my hunger in this music business.
24HHH: What age did you start making music?
4EvaBreeze: Believe it or not I never really started making music until my last incarceration at 19 years of age. I have always loved hip-hop deeply, especially what I have grown up on. I have always had the skill and ability to rap but never took it seriously. Being incarcerated exposed me to my calling and talent.
24HHH: What inspired you to pursue making music?
4EvaBreeze: Everyone around me has inspired me to pursue music at the time of me actually realizing I can really rap while locked up. Being locked up I used to rap in the yard, cell or with other inmates and the response I would get back was positive, encouraging and motivating. Everyone loved my verses and bars and pushed me to make something out of my talent once released. With the fact of having two felonies and a lower chance of getting a "blue-collar" job I started to grind immediately and make myself known in the music industry….starting with 24HourHipHop
24HHH: What artists/producers do you work with? Or rubbed shoulders with?
4EvaBreeze: At this time I am more focused on myself as well as other members from Money Train family. I am focused on telling people my story, pain,struggle, and hunger. I want all my loyal followers and supporters to be able to feel me and know me without distractions. I am currently working on a new project and will save the big names for then.

24HHH: What else you got coming out? New Album? or Mixtape/EP?
4EvaBreeze: My latest mixtape titled "Full Time Jack Move" is my introduction and takeover of the music game. Over 15 tracks of straight bars and prominent lyrics…honestly there is no one delivering what I am delivering on this level of rap. I will represent NYC to the fullest with no scripts, no guidelines, no sets beats. At the end of the day it is all about what the people want and they shall receive. I believe "Full Time Jack Move" will give me a prominent stance n this rap game.
24HHH: Tell us about your newest single "Hunger", how did you come up with that, share us the story?
4EvaBreeze: My latest single "Hunger" has yet to be released but something to watch out for. The title speaks for itself…I give you nothing but pure hunger through this track. I am able to implement parts of my life into this track while keeping it catchy and relate-able.
24HHH: Any new travel plans, what you got going on?
4EvaBreeze: Due to my current complicated situation I am unable to travel how I want to. This summer I have several appearances and shows lined up for the public…stay tuned.
24HHH: What is the biggest thing to happen in your career?
4EvaBreeze: Believe it or not the biggest thing to happen in my career thus far would be my music video appearance of "Lions Den" on WorldStarhiphop. Maybe not big to others but a huge stepping stone in my career. Just the fact that my video did extremely well and gained the respect from individuals across the world showed me enough. I was compared to some of the top artist in the industry and the track I produced was a response to Kendick Lamar's "Control" verse. Not only was it a warning to him and everyone else in the industry but it was also my introduction into the game and for anyone unfamiliar with me and the MoneyTrain dynasty. Throughout my travels I'm prepared to continue to show the world my why i belong here and why my position in this game here is a must…I'm destined to take over and theirs not much standing in the way of that.
24HHH: Where can people find you?
4EvaBreeze: I can be found in any hood near you or you could follow me on twitter @real4evabreeze…instagram @4evabreeze…facebook wabu smith or catch me on youtube and soundcloud under 4evabreeze.
24HHH: Where do you see yourself going in 2014 and how do you plan to separate yourself from the other artist out today to get the recognition you feel you deserve?
4EvaBreeze: This year I see big things happening for me and my team. I see myself in a position where I never saw myself before. Doors will be opening and success will be at its finest for an individual such as myself. I see a record deal in the making and in any event will always remain humble. This journey will take me places I have always dreamed and hope people will see me for who I am and respect the work I have created. I am here to offer what the game has been missing and truth be told there aren't enough words to cover it all. The best advise I can give is listen to my music and my life struggle.
24HHH: Any last words or shout outs?
4EvaBreeze: I definitely want to thank my loyal followers and supporters, 24hourHipHop for believing in my talent and making this interview possible. When everything is said and done I have so much to say and so many people I want to acknowledge but timing is not always on my side. Once again listen to my music and you will see for yourself. I would like to give a special shout out to my MoneyTrain family because without them I would be way behind…nowhere near the progress I have had this far. This train will remain on track and that's on my life! 4EvaBreeze is here to stay. Brooklyn, NY till the day I die! As I creep through I want you all to pay attention to the next best female MC since Lauryn Hill, Foxy Brown, and Lil' Kim..(and that's combined)."Ms. Haze"!!! MoneyTrain ….now or never…now stand clear of the closing doors!
