When did you decide to pursue music and what grasped you to chose your
particular genre?
C-NOTES: From all I remember I want to be a part of
Hip Hop. I think I discovered I had the gift at age fourteen. My mother passed
away at the age sixteen so I have an old line where I say “my mamma passed when I was sixteen so I guess GOD really wanted me to
spit 16’s”!!!!

You have been affiliated with the Elegant
Hoodness Musial Program since 2006.
They have been in existence since 2004, helping artist create a buzz by
utilizing the media. In knowing this program and the C.E.O., A.D.
THE GENERAL, what type of growth
have you noticed from 2006 until present?
C-NOTES: Man A.D.
and the Elegant Hoodness is the
definition of grinding!! I saw A.D. go from having one poster to now 16
different sponsors and human size banners at the shows. So with that being said
wherever A.D. is C-NOTES and Get Rich INC. is right behind them.
