As many local fans are aware, Florida has one of the most overlooked Hip Hop circuits, not only in the region, but the entire country. While it can be tough for local creatives to break out from the scene, Citrus Rap makes strides to continue to uplift the Floridians who are on their way up. Said creatives, seen all over CitrusRap, can be found making moves statewide— some even venturing out of state. Still there are several unanswered questions for these rising stars, so we went ahead and formulated a questionnaire to clear the air. This is a new interview series we call “Florida’s Natural,” so that fans can gain insight on the individuals who we believe have the juice.

I’m outta Jack-Town, Florida; Duval County.
Why do you rap?
I rap for the fam and for the profit.
What’s your views on the local scene in your city?

Being authentic and being real. The crowd admires the vibe on top of the talent.
How do you portray your personality in your music?
On some super hero type shit. Just coming from my city trying to make it to the sky. I bring out my insight on the streets in my song like when I say, “if I’m dreaming don’t wake me up, if I’m copping don’t shake me up.” I know better than to fall for the shake bag, feel me?

Anything else to add?
God first. But yeah man, MobSquad Nard; I’m dead ol’ school but definitely not outdated. I’m solid with a real cold style, for real. I believe in the code wholeheartedly, gold heartedly. It’s that for real with me, I’m a good person to follow.
The 98KB duo of It’s Miggs & Valente gave us the green light to premiere their new visual “Rage SAN” that touches home. “Rage SAN” which SAN stands for ‘somebody, anybody, nobody’ is inspired by their late Grandmother “Monica Ward” who lost her battle with cancer. Every performance the duo screams “F Cancer” in honor of their Grandmother. This is for anyone that has ever lost someone special to them and felt as if they were all alone. Watch above.
