SWAG Magazine CA:
What artist do you look forward to working with in the future?

BLKRAW:
I would like to work with Erk The Jerk, Nelly, & and one of my all time favorite artist LL Cool J, if the opportunity presents itself.

SWAG Magazine CA:
Is there any talk of signing with a major label?

BLKRAW:
I had the opportunity to talk with a few labels regarding a development deal, but, I refuse it because the deal was not what I was looking for.

SWAG Magazine CA:
That's completely understandable. Sometimes by a artist being so hungry for success they find themselves signing to labels that are not in their best interest. I believe that is why management is so important.

SWAG Magazine CA:
Who or what has been your inspiration to become great?

BLKRAW:
Artist like LL Cool J, Nelly Big Daddy Kane Kool Mo Dee, 2 Pac, B.I.G have gave me inspiration yet 95 percent of it comes from my bigbrother Sean C. Fuller. Which he Died in 1998.

Your music is generally for the ladies. What message are you trying to send to them?

BLKRAW:
Yes I am all about the ladies, there is no hip hop/ rap artist doing music for the woman, that smooth r&b feel. Since LL Cool J, has slowed down it seems like artist are scared to go down that lane, and that's where BLKRAW comes in at.
