Q&A WITH STRAIGHT OFFICIAL

How did you get started in music?
My father would play records and let me dig through the crates.

Who did you listen to growing Up?
I listened to Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, James Brown & Michael Jackson. He was my biggest influence. Rap music took over and I listened to Kool G Rap Rakim & KRS-One. I moved to Long Beach and listened to Snoop Dogg, The Dogg Pound, DJ Quik, NWA, Eazy-E and Tupac.

How would you describe your sound to someone who’s never heard you?
I’m like Snoop Dogg Jay z Jeezy and Young Dolph all mixed together.

What is your new song Summa about?
It’s about paying homage to the city I grew up in and the city I was raised in (Compton & Long Beach). I wanted to pay homage to the greats that came before me. (Snoop and Dre).

What are your plans for the rest of 2022?
Well, honestly, it’s to continue to create records doing what I love to do which is rap. I want to create more influence and cut through some of this clutter by marketing and promoting myself.

What are something that people don’t know about you. Do you have any hidden talents?
Yeah, I cook very well. My street dudes can understand what I mean. I’m something like a professional chef.

Do you have any shout outs?
Yeah, I want to shout out my God most importantly. Without God I be nowhere. I want to shout out my family and fans. They’re my major support system. Y’all got me here. This one’s for you!!
