South Central Los Angeles Rapper grew up knowing he was destined for stardom. this is his chance.

Last Night, just a few hours after the release of his debut album "TAM DOGLIN" we sat down with Jay Okenwha, better known as the king, at verve coffee in the arts district.

Interviewer: So, The King, how does it feel to finally have an album out

"It's Great, Ive dreamt of releasing an album and its true now."

Interviewer: How long have you been making music

"Ever since I was a kid. my momma got me a small computer when I was a kid and I used to produce beats and rap over them on the crappy interface. it worked though and I met some other kids who were into rap and we kept going till we got here."

Inteviewer: That's awesome, who would you say are your main influences?

"I am true to Kendrick Lamar, he was a family friend and I loved his music. Kanye was a big one in my upbringing along with, y'know, Tupac, Frank Ocean. stuff like that"

Inteviewer: Yeah I can see that has influenced a lot of your music

"sure has, actually I got a gig at the geek theatre so I gotta go sorry"

Inteviewer: oh ok. no worries,"
