Alana: Do you think it is important for artists to write their own lyrics and why?
TRY: As for me I think is very important because I believe that music comes from the heart. When you write something that’s from your heart other people can relate more to your songs and experiences. That does not mean that I have anything against Artists that don’t write there own lyrics.
Alana: Which recorded song of your own or another artist has made a big impact in your life and why?
TRY: In my First Album I had a song entitled (Daddy), every one that Listened to that song was like " wow man that's a heart felt song". This was because the song was very personal, I was rapping about not having a father figure in my Life.

Alana: Are you looking for a record deal and if so would you rather be signed to an independent label or a major label deal? And why?
TRY: Right now am signed to an independent label " 2minds Records " and so far we are doing ok. If a major label comes along with the right deal I don’t see a reason to object because my aim is to distribute my music to a wider audience.
Alana: What is different about Try-Stevens? Compared to what the industry is offering at this current point in time?
TRY: Realness…. Some of what the industry is offering right now is alot of artists making music just for the money and not for the passion.
