When did you get into Hip-Hop music?
"When my brother passed away I kinda started getting more into Hip-Hop after that because it reminded me of him. One of my homies, a year before my brother passed away, showed me how to make beats because I always used to bang on tables when I was in school. He got me into making beats in 2009. I got into hip-hop because it reminds me of my brother and it's also something spiritual, something that was meant to be." - DJ Ra Ra
