Q. What motivated you to start creating music?
I've always had a passion and interest for the instruments of music since I was little.

Q. What age did you begin?
I started writing music when I was about 14 years old.

Q. What's the inspiration behind "Playmaker"? 
I just wanted to have fun with it. My fans have always wanted me to rap in Spanish so that's what I did. Especially since I have a lot of fans in Mexico that only speak Spanish. I decided to balance out the song with half Spanish half English. I really just wanted to show people where I come from and what made me who I am today.



Q. How did you approach rap differently this year compared to years past?
By including Spanish in my music. A lot of my fans have been asking for it. I want to expand my music more towards Mexico and Latin countries.

Q. So how did the collaboration with Snoop Dogg start?
A friend of mine reached out that was putting the record together and asked me if I was willing to jump on it. It was definitely a great experience and I am truly thankful to have worked with a legend.

Q. What do the weeks before a new album entail for you as the head of the label?
I was supposed to release an album this year but decided to release everything as singles instead. We live in a time where there's so much going on on the internet. Day by day people's attention span is getting shorter and shorter. I like albums, but let's be honest, half of the people that listen to them never end up listening to the second half. I prefer to invest my time on each song and dedicate a proper roll out per single.

Q. Why is MusicDigi a great platform for musicians?
MusicDigi is overall a great platform. Very helpful and easy to work with. The love is genuine with MusicDigi and I feel like they overall just want to help. I am thankful to work with them. 

Q. What's next for CNG?
2023 has been a business year for me. I've learned a lot and I'm ready to use that knowledge towards my music. My first headlining tour is set to start August 24th- September 16th. I'm excited to meet all my supporters across states. A lot more music, a lot more goals, a lot more accomplishments and a lot more success. I'm excited to show everyone what's in store. Y saludos a toda la raza! Yeeee!
