E.H.M.P: What inspired you to do music? Why?

LOUIE P: My inspiration came from seeing how much of an impact music has on somebody, growing up listening to 2pac & being able to relate to the lyrics had a huge impact on me, so now when people come up to me & say things like you inspire me to push or your song inspired me its such a great feeling.

E.H.M.P: What type of music do you do?

LOUIE P: I’m a rap artist

E.H.M.P: What makes you and your music different from any artist out there?

LOUIE P: I bring versatility, you can’t label me 1 specific type/style because I hit you with so much from every direction, anywhere from conscious, party, street, love everything.

E.H.M.P: How has having your music played on 105.1 helped you as an artist?

LOUIE P: Well it exposes me to larger audience, shout to Jovonn.

E.H.M.P: What message are you trying to portray in your music? What are you trying to give your fans when they listen to your music?

LOUIE P: The largest message in my music is don’t let doubt or hate stop you, I want to give my fans everything, I think my fans enjoy my concept records more than anything.

E.H.M.P: What feeling do you get when you perform on stage?

LOUIE P: Honesty before I go on I get the butterflies, but once I’m up there its just energy & adrenaline

E.H.M.P: If you were to sit down with a label, and they were to say: "Why should we sign you? What would make you stand out from all the hit artists Jay Z, Kanye West, Lil Wayne etc"? What would you say? Why?

LOUIE P: I’m all of them put in 1, I’m the streets, I’m the industry, I’m the new blood, I’m here to bring New York forward, I feel there’s a lack of balance in hip hop & I’m here to bring balance.

E.H.M.P: How can anyone hear your music? How can they contact you?
