Well Me & Qwik Money Both Decide That Having Different Graffiti Backgrounds & Walking Down Alley Ways Like Back In Days I Wanted 2 Almost Be Like The Real Friends Video But Instead Having Everyone In It I Wanted To Be The Only One In it To Show That You Are Your Only Friend & No One Can Ever Break That

There Are No Friends With It Comes To This Music Business & I Mean Not Unless They Came In The Game With You

*From your own experiences , why do you feel people hate and/or envy people that are progressing (carving a better future for themselves?)

That’s Not True Cause People Still Listen For Lyrics I Mean I’m Not Gone Lie I Like Most OF the Bubble Gum Rappers Music Sometime Lol

*If you could work with ANY artist and have ANY producer make the beat, who would these two people be? And why?

Mrs. Petite of "Black Hoody Fam"- Ghetto Kween

*Who is Mrs Petite of "Black Hoody" ? What hood / borough do you rep?

I am Mrs petite from Blackhoody Fam the name speaks for it self,i am a five foot shorty with a whole lot of SWaGg and a big passion for rap and entertainment,hailing from Long Island,NY

*Who directed "Ghetto Kween" ?

TBP (The Button pusher) Killer instincts music productions

*What is your message in the video ?

The message in this video is that beauty can be simple.Don't get me wrong im a trendy chick but as a female you can get people to listen to your music with out showing your body its about your talent.In my video im just coming real raw and reminding what rap was when ppl where hungry.It was about skill not what kind of clothes you have on and hey who says you are not a kween because we are from the hood.It doesn't matter where you are or what your doing as long as your holding your fort down

*As an up & coming female artist in the music game;what are some issues you have faced on your journey?

Well for me i feel like the biggest issue now a days for up and coming artist we are just in a hating era,where ppl feel they need to pull others down get above.

*Nicki Minaj is the #1 female rapper right now in the game ; how do you feel about her music?
- do you feel her music is relevant to hip-hop?

Well I give Nicki Minaj her props for coming back out for the females i like some of her music but i am not a fan,I don't think she represents for all Females in a positive way i do think that their are other Females in the underground industry who deserves that spot, i feel she sends the wrong message to young girls im not really into the rock star rap thing,But Nicki is doing her thing right now she is relevant because for a minute the world forgot about female emcees in the mainstream world.

*How would you describe your flow as an artist ?

i feel that my flow is Tight ,creative and complex because i use a steady flow and make different transitions so it is original.

*Take me to the moment when you realized "hey I have talent . I can be one of the hottest female rappers out" ?

Every since i was 11 years old i would freestyle with my sisters and friends playing around,and as i got older i met the Blackhoody team(Bangum,Notesand proph) which was a group before i was in the group i admired their work and was always a hip hop fan i wrote a verse and they let me get on a track called beef and my first time being on wax was all i needed to hear every since that day i have never put my pen down i new this is for me.

*What do you feel it takes to make it in the mainstream lane?

i think it takes being a versatile rapper who stays persistent and can own the track,with a killer image.

*What are some of your future goals and what are the steps you plan on taking to fulfill your goals?

My future goal is to eventually turn the Blackhoody Fam name into an independent label and not just a rap group.We have all types of talent in our group including singers,song writers beat makers and producers.The steps i will take to make this dream a reality is to push forward for mainstream audience by making quality songs that the game is missing and appearing and performing at as many venues as possible to get our name known.

NewShoes advice from Mrs Petite:

i would say just stay in your own league never let anyone discourage you because ppl think you dont have what it takes,you never know you may be the next person to start a new trend or the next one on top basically don't feed into the haters.When you make your music put your all into it and believe in your work.

The director of the film is named Issan Muhammad from Anu day media films which is a media film company he owns..The concept came from me inspired by the record "Dream: is a dream that I actually live out everyday but at the end of the day I still look at it as a dream...That is the reason for the rewind at the end & the black & white gave it more of a classic feel for the track along with bringing out more detail in my surroundings...

~ What is the DREAM about?

My dream is about motivation,Growth in my life music helps me become a better man & look at life different..Be a better man then last month and great role model changing others lives & showing them you can be whatever you want to be if you set your mind to it.".Achieve" ...Success takes patience,hard work,courage,but most of all having the gift to inspire others..
