I got a very distinctive sound You know how you got some artist you hear and be like he sounds like Thugga or he sounds like Young Boy, nah that ain’t mean Uno sounds like Uno.
How do you currently feel about the music industry? Has COVID slowed you down at all?
I feel like the music industry in shambles right now forreal-forreal only the real hustlers gone survive if you ain’t doing features or getting streams how you gone eat? Ain’t no shows popping off right now traveling at a minimum so if you ain’t an all-around hustler you probably fucked up. COVID can’t slow a hustler down it just reminded me it’s more than 1 way to eat.
