Deniro gotta say I'm a huge fan, Cliff of Death is bumping in my car 24/7.

Just wanted to ask what your writing process is like? A lot of your songs have really dark narratives and wanted to know how you channel it so damn well.

its just where my life was at the time of me writing cliff of death was no process involved the music is to pure it just flows

 

Hey Deniro, Shane Morris here - Child Actor's / Baby E's manager. I have always wondered this, but I think this would be a good time for you to answer publicly: What makes you choose to work so often with pop artists who are so far removed from your roots in gritty, street-level, rap? Also, you've done several tracks with Child Actor - which one is your personal favorite?

i mean other rappers aren't on the same level as me I'm in my own lane anytime i go outside of it to work with another rapper its because we are on the same path i love the combination i get wen i mix my music with quote on quote pop artist and my fav child actor tract is hold on and this is it and death or forever and can't take it with me lol i love working with them can't just pick one

isn't the saying "quote, un-quote"?

Just last week, someone on here put me on to the joint you have with Flosstradamus and I was pleasantly surprised with the music you're putting out.

In school right now, but I'll be listening to Rebirth later. What are your plans for the next 6 months after this project? A tour? Who would you like to collab with on the next one?

working on a new ep with ryan helmsworth

 

Hey Deniro, love your work! I got two questions for you: Dream collab? Favourite release of 2014(aside from Rebirth)?

my dream collab is with 40 the beat maker and a project with ryan hemlsworth

 

Any plans on further collaborations with Denzel Curry?

most def thats my bro

 

Are you going to do anything more with BSBD? That shit is so fire.

Also, what's your definition of cult rap? I think there's often times a negative stigma around cult stuff, but you seem to spin it pretty well.

cult rap is music thats based off substance and i don't know maybe in the future myself and bsbd will work together

 

What up deniro, your music is probably the dopest I've heard in some time. The production is damn near flawless and thank you for giving a gritty real taste of what it's like in the streets. from California to you and back, the streets signs may change but the streets dont.

are we ever going to hear Cliff of Death pt.2? any chance of working with Tree out of Chicago again?
every child actor song you have featured is awesome so what music outside of rap do you listen to on the road and what inspires you?

With that said I just wanted to say keep it up man. and thank you.

my life inspires my music and no cliff of death 2 and i haven't spoken to tree in a min but I'm open to working with him again in the future

 

Hey Deniro thanks for stopping by!

Where do you see yourself in 10 years in terms of your music and your life?

Do you see yourself continuing to do music or are there any other ventures you wish to accomplish?

to be real with u i don't live in the future or the past i live in the moment so i can't tell u where ill be in ten years

 

Who/what influenced you in your early beginnings as an artist?

Who are you a fan of that people would have not guessed ?

How did you work with Blue Sky Black Death? Did they send you beats or did you guys get in the studio and start the project?

my old team was cool with bsbd and they got me a few beats and we started to build and I'm a huge adele fan and kings of leon

 

You ever gonna headline at cats cradle in Chappell Hill? You killedthe oopening last month

one day I'm sure i will have the pleasure of doing so

 

What was your inspiration behind the "Just In Case The World Ends" video?

the world was suppose to end around the time i dropped my mixtape with bsbd so that was my farewell to the world track lol

 

My question is, where would you travel to if you had to get away from your everyday life?

to brazil i heard its gorgeous

 

Can we get any more details / insight on why Cliff of Death 2 was scrapped?

That album would've blown my mind.

i actually have a full cliff of death 2 EP RECORDED but it just got scrapped maybe one day it will surface

 

What is your favourite movie? + what are your opinions on the recent Macklemore incident?

i don't keep up with macklemore sorry i have better things to do lol but my fav movie is limitless. just the whole concept and idea behind having full access over your brain is really dope to me

 

I gotta say you're dope and I've been bumpin your shit for awhile man. Keep it up. What is your favorite non hip hop artist?

adele

 

What are your thoughts on Lil B the Based God?

love his energy
