But music has ALWAYS been there… 
Who influences you?: Well I put it like this: (cough) Im the bastard son of Eminem and Lauryn Hill, but was raised by Talib Kweli and his brother Mos Def. All my uncles came to visit me, A tribe called quest, De La soul, rapped me to bed. Jill Scott and Musiq sang me to sleep. My big brothers Kanya West and Pharrell kept me motivated and the God Father Dr Dre keeps me inspired…

The Real Laww has been writin’ since he was small, lil songs to entertain company his ‘mom dukes’ had over, “… but I really started to get serious about this in the 9th grade. Battlin’ other EMCees, performing at shows, making my own music and networking. I don’t know, wit a MIC in my hands its just a natural High, and I know, for you who do this music thing, know what I’m talkin about…” In 2003 started working with Thunda Pound aka Centerpoint out of Raleigh NC, where The Real Laww started to record his first pieces of original music. He worked on various projects with the 11 man team such as Centerpoints: Point Made 2007 and The Bums: Likes This 2009. “I always worked on songs but never really had an album, there are about 40 to 45 songs out there, that no one has ever heard and was never pressed up.” In 2009, before being deployed to Iraq, The Real Laww released his first Solo project: A Mix Tape Vol 1. it got pretty good local reviews, nothing real big though,” i didn’t have anyone promoting it but myself.” Then in 2010, after returning from a success deployment in Iraq, The Real Laww released his second Solo project: A Mix Tape Vol 2. where songs like “Sweatin” and “Future” were played in clubs in NC and ATL and received some radio time in Milwaukee and various internet radio stations.
