I met BAMZ and OHLA 15 years ago and ever since day one we've been closer than brothers, TANBOYS is more than music we're literally a family.

Just being from the BRONX, I mean it's the birthplace of hip hop, and me being from the bronx and growing up in the  culture, it was just natural.  


How long have you been doing this?
  
I've been writing rhymes since like 1999 but never took it serious until i saw how hard BAMZ and OHLA were going with it, they both inspired me to go hard.

My parents.

It was cool, grew up like any other kid in the hood. Seen alot of crazy shit being we're I'm from and all.
 
 
What do you do on your spare time?
   I rarely get any free time but when I do, I watch netflix or sleep... 

 
Who do you have no respect for?
   People don't get respect from me until they earn it. You have to show me respect and loyalty to get my respect.

   Patsy's on 119th st and 1st ave, Pio Pio (peruvian restaurant ), Carmines (italian restaurant) and the fish market on my block
