Salt & Peppa!
WHAT HAS THE HARDEST OBSTACLE AS AN INDEPENDENT RECORDING ARTIST BEEN?
Probably promotion and marketing it hard to get good footing in this industry.
WHAT PLATFORM ARE YOU USING TO DISTRIBUTE YOUR MUSIC AND WHY?
I use tunecore. I have been using it for years and years and it is a great way to get your music on the market especially when everyone has a streaming subscription these days.
HOW MANY ARTISTS HAVE YOU COLLABORATED WITH LOCALLY?
So many! I recently did a record with Capotol Records recording artist August Bleu that’s about to drop. Record is crazy so be on the look out.
HOW SERIOUS ARE YOU ABOUT MAKING A LIVING FROM MUSIC? ARE YOU A STUDENT OF THE GAME?
I’m very serious about my brand overall.
WHAT IS LACKING IN HIP HOP MUSIC THAT YOU THINK YOU CAN CHANGE?
I think originally, lyricism and the overall craft in itself is missing. People are making songs to sell instead of making songs that sell.
IN ORDER, RANK YOUR TOP 5 PRODUCERS IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW?
Dj mustard, Mantra, pharrell, David Guetta, The Storm
FAVORITE ALBUM SO FAR THIS YEAR?
Probably Scorpion
IN ORDER, RANK YOUR TOP 5 RAPPERS IN THE GAME
In the game currently… Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, YG, Ty Dolla
IF YOU COULD COLLABORATE WITH ANY SINGER MALE OR FEMALE FOR A JOINT ALBUM WHO WOULD IT BE?
Kelis I love that lady man! She is so amazing people dont understand
DO YOU THINK THE STREAMING ERA IS HURTING OR BENEFITING ARTISTS THESE DAYS?
I think with anything you have to take it and make it work. Streaming is hurting album sales but you gotta take that and sell merchandise, book shows, tour, so it’s all about how you look at it.
Straight outta Compton!

I have always been in to monarchy and my friends and family used to call me king so I came up with Flykingi and havent looked back.

I will be the first of my kind. I am influenced by allot of people. Ludacris, Busta Rhymes and many more but there is only one me you can look at my artwork before even listening to see that.
-What motivated or inspired you to record your last project?
I have always been inspired by the blaxploitation era. So movies like super fly and the wiz etc so this is a very funkadelic era. My new song is out called “SuperFLY” and it is some of my best work yet!
-Has there been any time in your journey where you felt like pursuing something else instead of music?
No I am a born entertainer this is who I am and what I will pursue and conquer straight to the fucking top!
If you had one song of yours to perform on national tv which would it be?
My new smash single SuperFLY the world is gonna love it!!
If you were offered a perfect distribution/sponsorship from every major company in america which company would suit you and your brand the most?
I would say Capitol and Atlantic based on the brands the have made popular and legandary and my esthetic.

Favorite movie is Low Down dirty shane and favorite actor is Will Smith.

My charisma, the way I approach records and my personality.
