Here is an old Attitude interview by Inet6thestar, where he talks about how he started rapping and his earliest work, thanks to Trevor Banks.
TB: Who was the first emcee you looked up to and said "That's what I want to do"?
Attitude: It's a mix between LL Cool J & Run DMC. The first album I had though was 2 Live Crew. Me and my boi use to sneak that tape and listen to it . It was so nasty but so good.
TB: Growing up in the south, tell me about the struggle in the game?
Attitude: Coming from the south, especially Alabama in particular. There wasn't a whole lot of outlets for Hip Hop music in our area. There were no venues to be heard either. Now in 2006 , they're starting to play music from this area. Coming from Alabama you had to believe you could make it. I couldn't see myself doing Hip Hop if i didn't believe. There was no encouragement from anybody saying you could be a rapper, ballplayer, doctor ect..You have to have unity in a community in order to come up.
