WHEN DID YOU REALIZE MUSIC WAS YOUR CALLING?

Caesar: I was about 7 years old, living in homewood. This kid, everyone called him Lil D. He taught me how to rap. Even til this day i can remember most of the lyrics he taught me to recite in front of his friends. I felt on top of the world when they applauded, ooe'd, and awe'd. Later that year, I found out Lil D was murdered in Homewood. so I kind of promised myself to keep spitting in memory of him. Now I just incorporate life lessons, emotions, family, and friends into my lyrics.

Caesar: As an artist, I feel like I am King. Thats why my MC name is Caesar. I want to be King For Life. I strive to be recognized as the best. I have love for my city, so when I make it out I intend to put other artists on that I feel deserve recognition. I was raised from nothing. Quite frankly, I still have nothing. However, I plan to change that dramatically.


WHAT ABOUT YOU STANDS OUT FROM OTHER PITTSBURGH ARTIST?

Caesar: I have a wider ranged vocabulary. I am more of a creative and inspirational thinker. With that being said, I can spit something that most rappers will never think about. Because it comes from my heart, mind, and soul..

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ALBUM OF ALL TIME?

Caesar:My favorite album of all time. Sheesh thats a hard one. However, i like My beautiful dark twisted fantasy by Kanye. He really broadened the expectations of artists today because of his great production and videography abilities.

TODAY'S MUSIC IS ABOUT COLLABORATION WHAT "HOT" RAPPER OUT NOW, YOU WOULD LOVE TO WORK WITH ON A PROJECT?

Caesar: If we are referring to industry rappers, definitely Drake. He kills everything he gets on. Also i wouldnt mind learning a few things from a vet . If we're talking about locals: Shad Black. He's nice.
I like his flow .

ANY SHOUT OUT'S? 

Caesar: Shout out to God, my friends and family, and Pittsburgh for teaching me all those well needed lessons ..

WELL I HAVE TO SAY THANKS FOR YOUR TIME...

Caesar: No problem.
