305djs: How did you first get into the whole music thing and rapping?

Lil’ Brianna: Well, my uncle B.B. a.k.a. G-12, he was always tied in with Poe Boy [Entertainment] because him and [E Class] grew up together and I grew up in it by always being around the studio all the time because me and my uncle are really close. And one day my grandma was real sick and we were sitting in the emergency room and we were in there for a whole bunch of hours and I just started rhyming and whatever. He saw that I was catching on to it and he started bringing me to the studio more and we really started hitting the booth and getting down to it.
