What is your name and what city do you rep?
My name is Preis Buck. The city I rep Philadelphia. When I first started taking music seriously when I seen the locks in AC this is the 4th biggest concert I’ve been to in life Jadakiss Styles P take the stage and get the shit lit from the rip and it wasn’t like a regular concert. It was more like a party. It made me feel like this shit is too easy. From the moment on, I told myself, I got to be a part of this. This is the job that I always want it and I’m going to keep pushing myself until I get it it’s funny Cuz after the concert I ran into Jadakiss at the hard rock casino. He was at the highroller table. I asked him to take a picture with me. He asked me where I’m from. I told him Philly and from there it was all love. Jadakiss is a very down to earth guy. We sat there for like 15 minutes busting it up about what happened with Mays performance

What inspires you to write music?
What expires me to write music? It’s just the passion that I have for it. I love to write a song and then go to the studio and it come out the way I pictured it. I love when I get somebody to hear my music and they be like damn that shit is a banger. It just feels real good to make a great song.
What do you do when you don’t do music (creative or otherwise) and that you are passionate about?
With things I like to do when I’m not making music first, I’m a football coach, so besides music. This is my big is hobby. I like to work out and build with the youth. And that’s where the song charger pack in the stem for hit different came from me coaching you football. I like. The fact that we give these kids a better opportunity at life because in Philly it’s a lot of drama and these kids grow up becoming a product of their environment so they don’t get the biggest opportunities at life. That’s why we’re here to change it and motivate them. Because there are a lot of great kids fall victim to the system.
Happiness to you is…
My happiness is just growing building elevating Making my present felt every time I step in a room if you ask 10 out of 10 people that know me they’re going to tell you the energy I bring is crazy because I’m going to make myself noticeable and I’m going to make sure you remember me
What do you wish you were told when you first started making music that you think would help artists just starting out?
The things that I wish I was told when I first started making music is just to push it grind keep grinding. Show people that you want it. Pay for quality stuff push yourself, promotion and just keep working. Because until you get in your groove, you’re going to have people downplaying you you’re going to have people telling you that’s not hot. You’re going to have people just trying to knock you off your square it’s up to you to keep grinding. Because if one person tell you something not hot 90 billion people might think it is. So that means you gotta fill yourself first you gotta be your biggest critic you gotta want it
