STROKES
A.D. THE GENERAL: What does the name Strokes mean?
STORKES: The name Strokes came from my pops; growing up I was
always called "lil Strokes" because of our close resemblance, so i
took it and ran with it. Believe me when I tell you that its a name to
remember!
A.D. THE GENERAL: Do you remember the 1st rap
you ever wrote? Give us a few bars off that.
STORKES: It's been 8+ years since my first rap but the song was
called "Young Carolina
Boyz" and me and my cousin Beezo Money went in on that song!
A.D. THE GENERAL: How was your first experience at The
Elegant Hoodness Musical Program? And would you recommend the program
to other artists in sc?
STORKES: I always put on a show whenever I perform because i
just like to entertain so i really enjoyed the experience. I encourage other
artist to bring the A game because an AnR once told me that it takes 10 seconds
to tell if an artist is worth their time, and 5 seconds to know if you're not
so if you get 6 minutes to perform it should be the best 6 minutes that you
have ever had on stage; every performance should be treated like its your
concert and the audience is your fans.
A.D. THE GENERAL: What’s your goal as an artist? Why do you rap?
STOKES: My goal as an artist is to make to the next level and
the next level, I plan to be the best entertainer in hip-hop history......Music
is my life.
A.D. THE GENERAL: What has been your biggest accomplishment in
music thus far?
STORKES: Opening shows for various artist such as Travis Porter
and Juvenile and Performing in venues from Virginia
to Georgia.
A.D. THE GENERAL: Where can our readers listen to your music?
STROKES: You can check out more from Strokes at Cdbaby.com, amazon.
