MMNyc718:What would be the first thing people should now about you as a business man?

Hunter: As a business man, everyday is a different. it can be from creating business proposals, doing promo tours, speaking to deejays about records. meeting with KOCH about the street teams, or strategizing with the clients i represent. It could be going out to clubs, hosting tables or just experiencing nighlife, meeting promoters, and dj's.Seeing what is working in the clubs. As a business man you have to do more than one thing at a time. i started a marketing & promotion company that will focus in the areas of mobile, field, entertainment, youth retail, amd premise marketing. I'm currently managing a dj/model from 106&park, a plud size model, and also co-manage a pro boxer.

MMNyc718: What is your opinion about the state of hip hop?

Hunter: The state of hip-hop is a little crazy. And needs attention. The game has changed but not to worry the hip-hop has always had its up and downs

MMNyc718: What would be the first thing you would tell a up and coming artist trying to make a name for themselves?

Hunter: Planning and Identifyng. An artist has to identify with themselves, identify with the type of music they trying to put out and identifyng with there fans and audience. An artist has to create a plan and execute that plan. Use the plan like a checklist so u can see what was accomplished, what works what didnt work and make adjustments. Listen nobody in the music industry can do anything by themselves. Create a team, position your players and play your position as a part of the team.

MMNyc718: In your opinion, who is the "GREATIEST" Emcee of all time?
Hunter:Well in the true essence of the word i would have to say Rakim, but TUPAC is the greatest he was simple but powerful.
