EvOn: How Hard is it to make it in this industry as a female Rapper, and is being Gay important to sale your music or should you keep ya sexuality to your selfs?

IQ:Its hard to make it in the industry period, its just like going into progessional sports. There are a million people trying to do the same thing you are doing. Its all about perserverance and hard work. I am not sure how our sexuality is effecting out sales. I believe folks have always consideredn us gay and we have always sold our records so I guess it can't be hurting us that much lol.

EvOn: Are there any other artists from the US/UK or from the gay scene that we should be looking out for right now?

IQ:There are a lot of young cats coming up in the game that don't have any fear of their sexuality and are putting our music they believe in. I appreciate all those artists and hope we had an influence on them making that choice.

EvOn: If you wasn't making music what do you think you would be doing right now?
Locked up in a studio mixing and engineering which is kinda what I do anyway, LOL!

EvOn: How important do you think it is for new artist’s to know their history and appreciate the different elements of Hiphop even if they don’t partake in them?

IQ: Very important because if you don't study your craft how can you truly say you respect it.

EvOn: any final words / shoutouts before we finish?

IQ:I wanna shout out Nor my partner and best bud. I wanna shout out all the Noriq Records Artitsts Kay Smith Kas and Breeze lil Bella and all the folks we are producing for currently, Monifah, Aneesa of The Real World, Babs Bunny, and the Infamous Heather Hunter.
