Real Name: Justin Jackson
Hometown: Tulsa, Oklahoma
Ok? so now we?re going to get a little bit personal by asking you what do you like to do in your free time?
Besides Sex lol...I really don't have free time because the position I'm in , being a father at my age some would assume video games mtv, bet,I don't have that luxury or the time. I concentrate on making a better way for my daughter and my loved ones. this is all I do its what I live. Hip Hop 24/7 real talk I eat, shit, and breathe THIS.
What made you want to become a musician? Where did you get your start in the industry?
At Age 6 I was infactued with the lifestyle that was being portrayed by the industry through the media. Of course at a young age I was thinking it was easy but as I grew around about 9 years of age I was developing a love for the art writting my own material.
As for, my start battled in many in cyphers in high school which progress to local shows
What is your music background?
I love music but as far as instruments I never really played an instrument besides violin wasn't that great lol. Im more of a lyricists a emcee NOT A RAPPER
Im LayLo Junior FYF Squad Entertainment President w/ Co-Founder Mz. Unique (Made a appearance on BET'S 106 & park Freestyle Friday) might I add who I believe who is much more skillful then what she displayed she just was nervous.
Who are your influences? Who were some of your inspirations growing up?
When I was growing up the first actual artist I payed attention to was Nelly being that he put his city on the map as far as hip hop and that's exactly what im going to do
other then Nelly. Tupac, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Nas, Dipset especially Juelz Santana, Chamillionaire,
Well now on inspirations..of course god my mother, my pops, my grandma and grandfather, and my daughter Nevaeh
What do you consider to be your greatest asset to this music industry?
Right now I would say my voice and lyrical content, let me add my youth, I have youth on my side. I believe with the right deal and label guidance I can manifest into one of the greatest emcee's
What do you feel you have to bring to the music world?
Again, let me speak on m voice. I think my voice is very unique I believe I sound like no one in the industry...google me baby! Lol On the more serious note
Who you know out of Oklahoma with a more creative sound,
Very lyrically inclined at my age, mentioning age im up on my studies with this game. HIP HOP period old and new
Generation. I can bring it all as far as songs. Im a writer
I can make any thing, any subject a number 1 hit.
Are you looking for an independent label deal or a major label deal?
I'm looking for a good deal, nothing shady, an authentic, genuine deal it doesn't matter. Like Kanye "as long as my money right"!
Are you a part of any music label, if so which one(s)?
UNSIGNED HYPE BABY!
How do you feel about the competition out there right now?
There is none lol....not saying like "oh im so great" but that's actually how I feel. I feel like I am up to par on the scale to compete with anyone being it Wayne, Plies, T.I. The Game, Kanye. Whomever it may be! they better look at me like im competition and im still unsigned.
What personality do you want to display to fans through your music?
I consider myself a underdog coming out of Oklahoma. Just give me a minute the underdog will prevail.
Dats all for now.
If you had to say one of each what would be your strength in music, and what would be your weakness?
My strength would be I can write on any subject to make a number 1 hit, my weakness would be my area of the map OKLAHOMA I feel we don't get enough publicity. We get overlooked im really considering moving to Atlanta in the next year or so. That would be the weakness.
What would you say is your hottest song right now?
Even tho "Im On Deck" has the most spins. "Up Jump Da Boogie w/ Mz. Unique" is the hottest song right now being that we just released it and its getting good reviews and feedback.
Describe your fan base. Who is your music meant for?
I make music for the chevy riders in that donk lol And the ladies , I love the ladies. I do it for the streets and when I say that I mean im speaking on the folks the can relate to my views that I see out here. On how I don't want to become just another statistic out here feel me.
Who would you most compare your style to?
This is a hard question I compare my style with no one. But if I had to Plies and Lil Wayne would be it.
Who did you learn from the most?
My dad who is also my manager. Who I also got my name from as in laylo junior

Every one of them! Verse, hook! All of it
What are your songs about?
I write about everything whatever comes to mind it may be life experiences, something that's in thoughts, A female etc etc
How do you describe your music to people?
My music is versatile, hits different angles as far as what I speak on each record im not the typical shoot em up hip hop I make reality music right there in the moment jams, whatever comes to mind. I may speak on the past, present, future. What I want in life or simply how I feel about something.
What image do you think your music conveys?
I think my music come across as to revealing because I say what I want when I want, meaning anything I might state an artist name in a record, say how I feel about a certain person whomever it may be thats how I am though. but I think my music conveys the harsh reality of the world.
As far as image I would say it displays Street but yet educated. Im the guy that proves you don't have to be a thug to speak to the streets.
What are your immediate music career goals?
Want to put out as many mixtapes I can. I mean FLOOD the streets ya feel me. I was told 3 or 4 mixtapes under my belt labels would be callin..I still think that..of course tour, opening for major acts like slowly making my entrance in the game paying my dues.
What are your long-term career goals?
I want to be under a label. Run my own label push my artists I mean cause you can't rap forever to me ya knw bout 40 years of age the game is over for you hip hop has a time limit on it. I want a be in a movie, endorsement deals, own my own club feel me Hip Hop is the door.
