 So TQ, I listened to your first album, and now I heard the second one. I know
how I feel about it. But why don抰 you tell me what makes you different from
many other R&B male artists?

 Huh, what makes me different? You probably can answer that as good as I can.

 How抯 that?

 I mean, you see me right here, you see me on stage. It抯 the same thing. I
ain抰 gotta ?dial? in my hair with all kinds of funny colors and jump around
stage like some kind of a__hole. I ain抰 gotta do none of that.

 Is that right?

 I ain抰 gotta dress all up, put make-up all on. All I gotta do is stay real
and deal with the issues that I deal with and my peoples deal with every day.
That real s___. That抯 what soul music is about.

 Where you heard it for yourself. For all you fake-a__ n____s listen and
learn. This is neighborhood reporting for Headbeat Magazine. Stay real.
B-IOTCH!!!
