Upcoming 100: I've heard your latest music and it's amazing! I can definitely tell your sound has evolved over the past few years from previous songs we've heard from you online. What are your thoughts on the evolution of an artist and the evolution of music today?

Adam Wise: At this point in my career, I feel capable of creating almost any form of music. ALL ARTISTS ARE SUPPOSED TO EVOLVE WITH THE WORLD AROUND THEM. And I think hip hop has evolved into the biggest influencing 'cool' on the planet.

Jaz Flow: If the person evolves, then he will evolve as an artist as well. The way music is evolving today is the same as man, it's becoming very diversified and more intelligent.

Adam Wise: My advice is I was where you are. It took me a decade to become who I envisioned. NOBODY WILL BELIEVE IN  YOU LIKE YOU WILL. Put action behind your dreams.

Jaz Flow: My advice to a fellow artist who just starting out to venture into music would be to always outwork yourself and always create. If you don't have studio, invest in a home studio to sharpen you artistry in the comfort of your own environment of choice. Preparation is key. Own all your publishing and masters meaning create a publishing company and also be affiliated with ASCAP/BMI.
