[Illest Lyrics]Thanks for doing this interview All Killah.
[All Killah] No problem homie I figured its about time.
[Illest Lyrics]You have admitted numerous times to using a significant amount of drugs.
How has this affected your writing ability/rapping ability?
[All Killah] Depending what I'm on sometimes it increases my creativity and drive so I get inspired to write more, hasn't really been too many negative effects except not being able to remember verses.
[Illest Lyrics]How has this affected your life?
[All Killah] It hasn't really, I've been to rehab once but it wasn't by choice and I didn't even have an addiction. I live in a two bedroom townhouse by myself which mosta my teachers in high school couldn't afford so I'm doing fairly well. Only thing I can't really quit whenever I want are cigarettes.
[Illest Lyrics]You've also had problems with the law. Do you have any wisdom for others to
avoid going to jail, etc.
[All Killah] Only real advice is to be paranoid as a mahfucka cops are everywhere nowadays. And don't swing at a dude unless he touches you first cause most dudes nowadays can't take an assbeating and leave it at that they're quick as hell to call the cops.
[Illest Lyrics]Do you have any regrets from your actions. If not regrets, what would you
change from your past?
[All Killah] I don't really have any regrets for any of my actions. I've done some stupid shit but nothing to really fuck up my life amazingly.
[Illest Lyrics]I remember in the freestyle rooms on aim you making fun of just about everybody.
Most people blow it off as just internet shit but either way the people you talk
to online have an impact on your life. If my theory is correct. How have
they influenced you.
[All Killah] Uhh... Not too many people have influenced me, alotta cat's have inspired me to write shit by bugging me to collab and shit but thats about it. The main reason I like to make fun of dudes is because of their ego's, if somebodys writing one syllable sloppy structured shit thinking hes nice he needs a reality check.
[Illest Lyrics]What is the single most important goal you have set for yourself, and how do you plan
on reaching it?
[All Killah] Shit... Probably having a family, I just gotta find a women I can respect physically AND mentally and could actually see myself spending the rest of my life with.
[Illest Lyrics]What kinda Mc has all that we have talked about in this interview molded you into.
[All Killah] Versatile, Realistic, Creative, I've experienced alotta shit so I don't have to make up storytelling verses and shit too much cause most of them are non-fiction, I'll alter names or the situations a lil' bit but my lifes definately given me a broad array of material to write about.

[Illest Lyrics] Is rap your passion?
[All Killah] Not really, more like a form of expression.
[Illest Lyrics]I don't think people understand that you make a lot of beats. What got you
into that?
[All Killah] I know alot of producers and I would help my one producer dude with samples and shit and tell him what instruments to add and shit so it eventually just got to me learning the programs myself and making my own beats.
[Illest Lyrics] You really love complex rhyme schemes. What other factors make your rapping
ability unique?
[All Killah] Flow & Wordplay, alot of cats who write with complex rhyme schemes make their bars choppy and structured poorly, I like to incorporate an intricate rhyme scheme into a verse that flows well and drop some wordplay here and there to show I'm not just writing with an intricate rhyme scheme because I know words that rhyme but rather because I can write about any topic with a complex rhyme scheme and have it all make sense and flow well.
