Hip Hop Ave Forums: What is a typical writing process of one song for you
Bosco: i write some lines down, go over them, change a few words, go over it again, and if i have to change it again, i tend to read and revise all my material several times until it is close to perfect, but nobodys material is perfect, but i want it to be the best it can.
Hip Hop Ave Forums: How much have online sites help you distribute or even improve your game
Bosco: well as far as online sites, music sites, i dont post my CD tracks, i post my practice, freestyles, or tracks that made it nowhere to give out a taste n not waste the music that makes the money, and battle sites like the ave, get me more into battling, chance to see where my text game is, and meet and collab with other emcees, something i enjoy.
Hip Hop Ave Forums: As an artist, what is your biggest accomplishment so far?
Bosco: hmm good one....probably releasing the CODE OF SILENCE, because ive seen SEVERAL people bumpin it in thier cars, when i meet people and mention my name they say, oh i copped your CD, or heard it and it was hot, i just get mad love for what i do, i feed off of the fans enjoyment, and i will keep it going
Hip Hop Ave Forums: What are some goals you want to accompish in the near (or far) future
