Who are your rapper inspirations?

S – Nobody

P – My singing inspiration is Tyla, but no if you want me to be serious. I started on a lot of 70’s rock and country music, and then from there I went to soul. Like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, all the classics man. 70’s rock and r&b, that’s what it’s about.

Are you big on collaborations?

Group answer – No, unless we’re getting paid.

How many tapes have you dropped?

P – Lookout for some shit coming soon in 2016.

Do you write, record, or produce under the influence?

P – I don’t, I’m usually sober.

S – As of late no, but usually yes.

What do you guys think of the term “soundcloud rappers”?

S – Haha, I don’t even know how to take that. It is the main platform to listen to music though, so you’re a soundcloud listener then. So if you hating, delete the app. I get it, you’re a guy who’s on soundcloud with a bunch of views but ain’t doing shit. Yeah we’re soundcloud rappers, it is what it is, bitch.

How many shows you guys done?

S – First official headline, one. A bunch where I wasn’t the headliner.

Any last minute shout outs?

S – Shout out to my probation officer, bitch. It’s what inspired the interview since I’m leaving, so shoutout to him.

(A few days after this interview was done, SKYXXX checked himself into a program in accordance with his probation deal for a 90 day stint, he is expected to return sometime in March)
