This is a new phase in my life. I just want people to give the show [This Is Mike Stud] and myself a real chance. I'm pretty self aware and know what people are going to think this show is going to be like.

My music started out as a complete joke, so really all I was doing was going for witty punchlines to make all of my buddies laugh.

Songs will always become a story in some way. I think it's my strongpoint as a writer musically. I don't shy away from it. It's not really an effort. It's how I write songs.

With this project [This Is Mike Stud] in general, I tried to put my life on record. All of these things I'm going through right now, I used to dream about and didn't think could ever happen to me.

Young, wild, and free, my whole life ahead of me. So I'm drinking heavily, steadily making memories.

I'm not big on trying to label it [my rap] or trying to prove people otherwise. I'm just making records that I like and that I wanna make. I'm just making records that relate to me and that relate to my life. If you listen to what I'm saying I'm not talking about anything that isn't my life. I take pride in having truthful lyrics.

I would say These Days. It was the title song to an album I put out, and it's really this song that you'll hear throughout the episodes and the season in the show. I write all my music, I'm an independent artist so we do it all in-house and that song embodies exactly what the title says.

To be honest, I was unaware of the huge frat-rap scene that was taking over the blogosphere until I found myself right in the middle of it. But there are really a ton of talented dudes out there doing this, and I'm just having a great time making music and being a part of it all.

My music is basically all about witty punchlines and lyric progression that is aimed to make you laugh or say Woah.

I didn't have musical upbringing. I never listened to music growing up, thinking I want to make my own music. I just listened to music for pleasure.

A lot of these reality shows do a lot of producing scenes and producing things and drama and all that but we did the deal contingent that we wouldn't do that.

The production companies and some of the networks reached out as well. I don't really know what triggered it, but I think what happened over time is we started to create its own fanbase [for the videos]. It's been a long process to get this TV show [This Is Mike Stud] right, but I'm glad we did it.

I basically try not to waste any lines in any of my songs, and I think the witty phrases and funny lyrics I have bring a smarter sound to college hip-hop.

I don't think we could have given a more honest version of ourselves to the world than we did for [This Is Mike Stud].

This show [This Is Mike Stud] will have a ton of layers that people who aren't necessarily my demographic will actually really appreciate...I'm really proud.

As I have continued to make music and progress as an artist, I think I am steadily getting better at expanding my lyrical content and defining who I am as an artist.
