JO: Listening to your music it’s clear that you definitely want to send a message, how important is it for you that your music has a deep lyrically meaning?

M2: It’s very important you dont really hear positive songs anymore. I have a lot of fans that’s younger then 18 that look up to me. I want to keep making positive music that not only inspires me but everyone else out there.

M2: Seeing that people were asking for my cd from all over the world.

JO: You’ve also had the chance to work with some big names in the underground, but was there one that really sticks out in your mind?
