A note for Spady: It’s not every day, in the year 2022, that you can stream new artists and they are bringing that raw hip-hop feel like older artists. Your lyrics can be felt by anyone who has experienced pain, adversities, traumatic childhood and adulthood experiences, and the lost souls that dwell amongst us. Waiting for someone of your caliber to understand them. See them. Feel them. At 34 years old I can say that you’ve accomplished things that I feel like someone from your background would’ve had a hard time accomplishing. Against all odds, against all statistics, you’ve flourished. You haven’t given up. You continue to push through this thing we call life even when the darkest days of your life have knocked you down. That is extremely influential and inspiring. Young men and women can see you, hear your music, and know that they are capable of greatness. Thank you for being the transparent human being that you are. Thank you for being so supportive of me, my blog & my brand. You’re one of a kind. Now let’s get into this interview!
Being from Philly must not have been easy growing up. What part of Philadelphia did you grow up in and what were some of the negatives and positives with where you came from?
I actually had a slight advantage, I was born and raised in Philly, but my family moved to Pottstown when I was about 5 and we lived there until I was 10. So I was able to experience some things that others hadn’t at a young age. Some of my best memories were during that period of my life. But a negative was the prejudice I experienced when I came back. I would often hear how I “sounded white” when I talked because I wasn’t a heavy slang user. A positive was experiencing so many different cultures early. Latino, Asian, European, African, Arab. It gave me cultural competence when I got older.
Being that you started writing rhymes at the tender age of 11 years old, tell us what inspired you to begin writing that young.
It started out as a competitive thing with my cousin. Nothing more than that initially but as I became better I started enjoying it more. This was also the coming age of Bow Wow and Romeo so all the 11-12 year old’s wanted to rap.
What is your favorite childhood memory that involves music?
This is actually a very strange question, matter of fact the answer is just very strange. So my favorite childhood memory that involves music would have to be me being young and always being the one child out of my mother 7 who is up at 2-3 in the morning sitting at the top of the steps listening to her singing The Whispers, Teena Marie and all those oldies. And the reason why this is strange is because she would always be drunk so I also had to witness that.
How much of an impact did the places you grew up in have on your music? What style do you think you’ve incorporated into your craft that has to do with where you came from?
I think that any place I've ever spent time at has impacted me and has been spoken about in my music in some form or fashion. I think this storytelling style of having bars and metaphors double-entendres in the way that I rap has all been incorporated into my craft but it has a lot to do with where I came from. I got talked about a lot as a kid so I had to be witty and it shows in my music. A lot of my relationships with people are often spoken about in my music because they are real feelings so the authenticity is definitely all throughout my craft.
What do you think sets you apart from other up and coming artists right now in the hip-hop genre?
My subject matter, my transparency, my vulnerability and my honesty. I don't think anybody is really touching on the subjects that I'm touching on consistently for whatever reason. I also think that a lot of artists in hip hop are in it for money and that's it. So they stay away from thought provoking subject matter. But me? I’m not afraid to be myself whether everyone is watching or no one is watching. I'm also not a slave to money.
Other than your own life experiences and others, is there anything else that motivates you to continue to make timeless music?
Competitiveness definitely keeps me motivated to make timeless music. But it's not like competitiveness with people who are in my corner or next to me so to speak. I’m competing with the people who have already made it in everyone else’s eyes. I'll also compete with someone who somebody else said was better than me. Yeah I'll compete with them too and they probably won't know it but it's happening lol.
Think back to your first ever performance where you were finally able to touch a stage and bless a crowd with your lyricism. Tell us about that time and how you felt.
Funny story. My first time ever performing I actually choked. I couldn't hear myself I was messing up lyrics it was a very bad night for me. I still have not watched the footage from my first performance. I was nervous for some reason. As soon as I got on the stage… I was nervous. I was fine up until I got on the stage. But that motivated me to never ever have that happen again.
What is the most challenging thing you’ve had to deal with so far in your career and how did you overcome that?
The most challenging part for me has been following through with it. I know I'm talented, I know I got what it takes, and I know the right people are seeing me. But every day I question whether or not I should be doing this and that has been the biggest challenge. The reason why it's a challenge is because music is not permissible in my religion. I am Muslim and we're not permitted to do music. A lot of Muslims don't know it and lot of non-Muslims don't know it so when I say it it's almost new information to a lot of people.
I read that you don’t see music so much as a passion, but more of an expressive outlet for you to create “verbal visuals” as you like to call them. I find this very interesting in a great way. A lot of the time, when someone is asked about something that they do, the first thing they say is “this is my passion.” I love the fact that you are honest about why you make music. What exactly is your passion that drives you wholeheartedly?
Helping people is my passion. Whatever that looks like. Personal life, professional life, spiritually, financially, any way that I can help people I do it. And I understand that the type of person that I am can easily be taken advantage of but I look at it like I'm helping somebody because I want to not for any other reason. So, if they take advantage of the opportunity given to them to receive assistance then that says more about them than it does about me. My reward is ultimately with God not the person that I'm helping and that's based on my intentions.
How does it make you feel when you are out, on the pavement, physically alongside of the very people you are giving back to through your philanthropic efforts? Has your experience being able to give back to the community changed you as a person at all?
It's the best feeling. We all get this euphoria from when we do something right. Nothing makes me feel better than knowing that I did something right. And that could be morally, religiously, or upholding justice. And I mean real justice not the justice we see here in the United States of America. I don't think it changed me as a person I do think that it always resets my level of gratitude for what I have and what I don't have. I believe I’m a good person to my core, but I’m not exempt from taking for granted the things that I have access to every day and I can admit that. I do that a lot, we all do. Doing for other people makes me realize how fortunate I am in all aspects of my life.
Having a Degree in Health and Human Services must’ve been a major accomplishment for you! Tell us about your time in school. Also, did your studies affect your perception of the world around you?
So I do have an Associates Degree in Health and Human Services. My time in school started right after high school when I was a teen father and I jumped right into college. After a year I ended up having some financial aid problems that kept me from going back to school. So I started selling drugs. I went out of town and made a lot of money and then I quit selling drugs like a year or so later. I went back to school And I ended up graduating with a youth-works certificate and an Associates Degree in Behavioral Health and Human services. I was the first one of my mother's kids to graduate college & high school. There were two classes that really changed how I view the world and those were Psychology and Sociology. Sociology really bothered me because it showed that we know what's wrong with the world and we just refuse to do anything about it.
How was your time during 2011-2018 during your music sabbatical? I understand that during this time you were focusing on your religious obligations. What did you learn about yourself during this time of having your focus elsewhere? What was it like to not be able to express yourself through verbal visuals as you do now?
This was a rough period for me. I really think through all of this was the making of me as a grown ass man because I was just being hit with adversity on top of adversity on top of adversity. The most important thing that I learned about myself was that I am me and I'm not anybody else and I had to learn to accept that 100%. No second guessing, no questioning, just acceptance and that acceptance was my self-love. It wasn't bad until it got bad. And here's what I mean by that; when times get rough we can pray and things will get better. But when times get rough and we pray but we are impatient, there's nothing for that. In those moments of frustration and anger where I couldn't find myself praying through it, I was able to write and that was my expression. The problem is my writing always rhymes lol. My writing always has a beat to it. Then the guilt kicks in and that's when it becomes bad.
As a rapper in this game who is also Muslim, how do you overcome adversities or negativity you’ve received for saying or doing things that others may say aren’t “okay” for you to do because of what you practice?
For me there's no fighting it. If you're right about something I'm going to tell you you're right. If you're wrong about something I'm going to tell you you're wrong, but I'm not going to fight either way. I also encourage people who support me not to defend me when other people are right. This is my journey, this is my life, this is my decision and I have to answer for it, nobody else.
I know that you have a goal to sell 5,000 copies of your latest project Perception, as an independent artist. How has that been going for you so far?
It's going good actually. We have a plan that I'm going to put into play very soon that will hopefully help with what we got going on so we'll see.
Tell us a little bit about your project “The Beautiful Let Down” which I absolutely loved. It was raw, it was real, and it was truly unmatched. I haven’t heard something so raw and beautifully expressed in a while. How was your mental health during the time of writing something so vulnerable? What was the biggest motivator behind the entire project?
The Beautiful Let Down was my therapy during a time that my mental health was very unstable. In the beginning, I didn't know my mental health was unstable. By the end of it I ended up seeking professional help. So it all came together In the midst of a lot of turmoil, a lot of pulling back layers, a lot of mistakes, and a lot of forgiveness within myself. The biggest motivator was my brother Bankwitdadank. He really pushed me to put that music out publicly because I wasn't going to and I was very adamant about not doing it. Bank has the realist one liners ever. They can change your whole view about stuff sometimes and it's one of his gifts so, shout out to him for that.
A Song for Bruce from The Beautiful Let Down really stuck with me. Understanding that this song was made for your father, may his soul rest peacefully, do you think that your perception (in this song) of the way life was with your dad growing up had a lot to do the experiences you had as an adult? What is the most important thing that you believe your father taught you that you carry with you now today?
I don't think my perception of the way life was with my dad growing up had anything to do with my experiences as an adult, hands on. What I will say is that it really made me see that I didn't know what the fuck I was talking about as a kid. We think we know things because of what we see but when we get older we understand that the things we saw were not what we actually should have been looking at. My dad is very influential in my subject matter. When I first started rapping I rapped about all the stuff that I never did and he had a problem with that. He would always tell me you got to rap about your life, you got to rap about what you really do and what you really been through. A lot of people don't know my dad was a poet. He didn't want me to rap because he felt I was not being truthful and he was right. But as I started to experience life more, that's what I began to talk about.
I watched an interview with you in which you were asked what was your favorite song on “The Beautiful Let Down”, and you had a hard time answering it. You ended up saying you love all of the songs you don’t have a favorite. And let me be honest, I could hardly choose my favorite! As you can see I have more than one, LOL. But, if you can answer, what song on this project had the deepest effect on you? The song that when you were done recording, you had to go roll up, and be to yourself because it was just so powerful for you.
Well I don't smoke so I didn't roll up. But there were many songs that were very powerful and very moving in regards to my emotions. Four years later and I still cannot pick a favorite song. I think they all affect me so differently and I know that I'm being honest because I don't have a least favorite song. I do believe that Ready or Not is out of place as far as where it takes you but the vibe was too contagious to not put it on the album.
From The Beautiful Let Down, to your most recent project, Perception, how do you think your outlook on music and life has changed in the time between? What is the biggest difference you’ve noticed about yourself lyrically in-between the two projects?
My outlook on music and life has changed drastically from 2018 to 2022. I have things in my life now that I didn't have then. I also don’t have things in my life that I had then. I think the biggest difference I've noticed is the different level of assertiveness that I have now. During the creation of The Beautiful Let Down I was very hesitant about the subject matter because everything was so personal and revealing. So with me being a very private person, that was a new feeling.
What is one thing you struggled with heavily growing up as a youngin, into young adult hood, and being the age you are now? What helped you grow and blossom out of that struggle?
As a kid I struggled with vulnerability because I always viewed it as a weakness. Now at this age I see it now as a strength. The more vulnerable and transparent that I am, the less people can use against me. I subject myself to being judged more but I don't mind that.
What is the one thing that you want your children to take from your lyrics?
I would want them to take away the honesty. Even if something that I said was something that they didn't agree with, I would want them to understand that I was being honest.
Any new projects that we should be looking forward to and/or shows where you will be making an appearance?
I have two EP's in the works: one with The Art Dealer and the other with Roy Dean. Both very talented artists that I met on this journey. I also have a group project with mind my own. I have a show in the works but I can't give any details because of my marketing ploy. So, unless somebody books me it'll probably be all open mics until then.
Are you still planning on going on tour, and if so, what is something you look forward to the most?
Touring is always in the plans. I just want to make sure that it makes sense for me and my team. We aren't people who jump head first into anything.
What is the ultimate message you are wanting to get across through your creative expression?
My ultimate message is accept yourself for who you are. All of you. You will understand that when you learn to accept yourself you learn to accept everybody else. There is less unnecessary stress in that mind state. I promise.
What does your creative process look like when you’re in the zone writing?
For me it's really just a lot of reflecting. Most of my art is drawn from personal experiences no matter how long ago it happened. My gift is being able to paint a picture so vivid that it feels like it's in the now. There's also a lot of isolation. I like to be alone.
If you could sit down and have a conversation right now with any artist dead or alive, who would it be and why?
Sade… Not only do I have the biggest crush on her but I have a million questions for her about her life, her music, some adversities, and other things. I love that woman yo! The person not alive I’d sit with is Nipsey Hussle. He is one of my biggest influences.
What are you most thankful for in your life right now?
I am literally thankful for everything in my life right now. I broke my hand about a week ago and it has given me a whole new perspective on things that I should be thankful for. So literally everything and literally everyone!
What is the end all goal for your life personally and professionally? What will be the catalyst in your life that will make you say, damn, I have finally made it?
Once I am able to have my safe haven for the inner city children. Whether it's just one building or a franchise of buildings. That's when I will feel like I finally made it; and it's coming soon.
Are there any special people you’d like to recognize or give thanks to?
First and foremost, All Praises are due to the Most High. I would like to thank you for taking an interest in my music and me as a person. I appreciate your recognition. Thank you to my brother Bankwitdadank, my kids, Staylo, Roy Dean, the entire Tierra Whack Basketball League, Aaron, Jigg, Mizz, Works Of London, Melissa, and Yup. Past few months have been rough for me…these people have been giving me reasons to smile, laugh and live.
I actually had a slight advantage, I was born and raised in Philly, but my family moved to Pottstown when I was about 5 and we lived there until I was 10. So I was able to experience some things that others hadn’t at a young age. Some of my best memories were during that period of my life.

Sade… Not only do I have the biggest crush on her but I have a million questions for her about her life, her music, some adversities, and other things. I love that woman yo! The person not alive I’d sit with is Nipsey Hussle. He is one of my biggest influences.
What are you most thankful for in your life right now?
I am literally thankful for everything in my life right now. I broke my hand about a week ago and it has given me a whole new perspective on things that I should be thankful for. So literally everything and literally everyone!
What is the end all goal for your life personally and professionally? What will be the catalyst in your life that will make you say, damn, I have finally made it?
Once I am able to have my safe haven for the inner city children. Whether it's just one building or a franchise of buildings. That's when I will feel like I finally made it; and it's coming soon.
Are there any special people you’d like to recognize or give thanks to?
First and foremost, All Praises are due to the Most High. I would like to thank you for taking an interest in my music and me as a person. I appreciate your recognition. Thank you to my brother Bankwitdadank, my kids, Staylo, Roy Dean, the entire Tierra Whack Basketball League, Aaron, Jigg, Mizz, Works Of London, Melissa, and Yup. Past few months have been rough for me…these people have been giving me reasons to smile, laugh and live.
