- About Jacksun -
When did you first start writing bars? Was it something you did from an early age or something you came into later in life?
Early like 9 or something, but it was more garage then, "1,2, 3, a, b, c" all of that... then got back into it more or less recently.
***
Name your top 5 artists and why?
Ooo your gonna get me on here for hours...
1. Dizzie Rascal: boy in the corner, showtime, no ones done what he’s done, he’s our Biggie Smalls and 2pac all in one...
2. Nas: cause he was one of the first I got in to and he's just effortless, ‘the gold child wise as the old owl’... tabancle... he was 19 when he did Illmatic, wtf? Anyway...
3: Miles Davis: they gotta be rap? Otherwise Miles Davis... classic albums you can listen to 50 years later like they came out today, timeless pieces... all you other rappers keep your hands off the Miles Davis samples, if I hear any from now on we know you copied me, I said it first, it's proof here...
MIB: (lost count from here... peak!)
Who else? I dunno, the basics Biggie Smalls, Lauryn Hill and Camron. It's hard because I like artists for individual moments, albums or songs. Like early 50 or mixtape Juelz rather than them and there whole career and what they might be doing today, know what I mean?

Which tune has taken you the longest and which has taken the shortest amount of time to make?
Some of the ones for the next tape lol... because they still aren't finished. I would say the shortest I can remember is The Motive, took like a week.
***
What effect, if any, did going to university have on your style, flow, delivery or content?
You know it actually helped me to align subject matter and get to the point of what I'm trying to say easier, all the essay writing drills it home.
