Please introduce yourself real quick…
I'm a artist born and raised in Denver CO. I'm a student at Metropolitan State University in Denver studying Jazz Drumset. Musician at heart. Just going to make a difference in our music scene today.
What do you do?
I'm in an independent label called Bottomless Pit Records. I've worked with artist from Unspoken Words, and set up collaborations with other local artist like Aye Dee, K.O. Mic, Purpose, and my own friends within my label. I've played the Showcase Tour in Denver at the Black Box in Denver this year, and just finished a show a couple days ago at the Mutiny Information Cafe for HUSH. I mainly study music in a theoretical sense. I study Music Theory at college and use what I know to make my own music from Rap to Rock.
What´s new right now?
Check out my Soundcloud for my new music. I've got a album in the works called the Psychological Labyrinth. With many versatile songs. I'm part of bringing lyrics bback to our mainstream scene we have here in Denver. Not new wave, but simply my own wave (303Flow). Here is a link to my page. https://soundcloud.com/wicked-j-303/tracks

Are you a superfan of anyone? How did you become a superfan? Do you remember how you become a fan and what turned you into super fan? Have you ever thought about why you´re such a fan?
Tech N9ne is a huge influence in my life. He helped me see a new light in the world. This influenced my music as well. I remember my first time listening to "Tormented" when I was in middle school. I thought it was such a sick track! So I then listened to more of his music and soon enough I became a huge fan listening to his discography. Man's a genius. I think I became a fan because I related to him being that odd one out of a group. I was that weird kid most my life. So his music really clicked with me.

We meet again in one year. What has changed?
In one year. I would have my album finished and have been doing more shows. I would be more exposed as an artist. I hope that I can expose myself to artist in the scene and start to build an alliance with local rappers to make a difference in the scene.
