Tell me something about yourself that people in your profession would find interesting.

I've recorded songs with Bun B, podcasted with Cardi B, filmed with Max B, been photographed by Ravie B, performed with Chase B, and sold out SOB's.

How did you met Nur? 

My brother Jeff and I were brought into Translation, LLC to be pitched for certain client activations; Nur apparently rolled her eyes at our self-named profession, hip-hop sketch comedians. But even though we were not chosen to be the faces for any of Translation's brands, we soon were chosen to be best friends of Nur's, and the only eye-rolling she does these days is if people do not support her favorite hip-hop sketch comedians.

Most treasured way you spent time in 2018? 

Giving out great energy, confident that I'll receive it back in some form or fashion. I love checking in on friends and family, and love being checked in on too.

What advice would you give someone who's leaving NYC and moving to a new city?

Leave part of your heart in NYC and come back and check in on it every so often!
