DX: Can you tell us a little more about the clothing line?
P: It's called Bmore Creative basically a play on words on Baltimore, it's definitely a success right now. We have such artists as Lupe Fiasco, Method Man, The Clipse, Buffie the Body, Big Tigger, Biz Markie wearing our clothes. It's custom made, everything we do is custom made. It's no duplication and it's hand done. We use acrylic paint for our clothes, we also have a personal relationship with the public. Our consumers when they come and purchase our clothes, they give us ideas right there on the spot. So we have a relationship that we build with our consumers, its not just that they come and look at a hot design and say we want this. We add to a design we take away from a design whatever the case might be, as long as they know that this is something that they really wanted to buy. I'm the Co-CEO of Bmore Creative, the head designer is Andre Williams. I'm the marketing genius behind the whole clothing line, I don't design - not one shirt; I don't touch not one shirt. Andre takes care of the head designing. I will give him advice, but other than that, I make sure the shirts get out there.
DX: I've read that you come from a musically talented family, who exactly in your family has music ties?
P: Music-wise, my pops is not a musician but was always into music doing promoting, doing plays, across the country booking artists like Maze & Frankly Beverly, LL Cool J, Queen Latifah. My father was probably one of the first ones who put them out there when they first started. Its the new generation of my family that's really musically inclined,which is my cousins who both have deals with Scarface and DJ Clue. With our collabs and our experiences just to be open to a cultural background. Most of my aunts was in dance groups, and growing up in that type of history it effected with our music and what we do now. I had a few uncles that played in a few bands but nothing major, performing in front of us on like Christmas and Easter back home in Panama. It adds up and brings growth, so that's what I mean when I say I come from a musical background across the board.
DX: Which area, out of fashion, music, and acting, are you looking to most excel in?
P: I'm looking to most excel in acting. Acting is my passion. Acting is some shit that I would do for free. I love to act. I went to school for it for a reason, to sharpen the craft, to make sure when I step on screen or step on stage its going down. That's what I'm looking to most excel in. Rapping comes second, rap is more so I was getting great feedback from people was feeling the music. I understood the game, I studied such artists as AZ, Jay-Z, EPMD, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common from everybody, and allowed them to influence me, and breath what I thought was a smell of new money, A new fresh of breath air type of music that I do, and I'm really bringing me.There's no character, no gimmick this is just what I do. But to excel in acting, and music would come second.
DX: For our female readers, Are you single and what do you look for in a female?
P: Yeah I am single. For the ladies, I'm looking for a shorty to be real. Personality is major with me, but to still have a pretty face; I ain't even gonna front. Not just a nice personality, I'ma keep it funky with you: I like naturalists, I'm not really big on makeup. French manicures is my shit, you know colorful nails, diamonds all crazy. All your teeth, I need all that. I'm really looking for a cultural chick, one I can really relate to but If I find a girl that can rock with me and understand my struggle, and understand it's gonna be ups and downs, we can get it poppin'.
