Introduce yourself to our readers, let them know your name and where you’re from.

What’s up y’all my name is Joe Streetz better known as A-class I am from the eastside of Niagara Falls New York.

When did you know that music was actually going to be your career?

I knew music would become my career after the first time I stepped on a stage, the feeling I got from performing was something that I had never felt before, especially being shy around others, once I found a way to break that, the stage became my comfort zone. It’s addicting.

If you could get advice from any artist in the industry, who would it be and why?

If I could get advice from any artist in the industry it would be most likely be 50 cent simply because I admire his business mind and decisions he has made over the years that kept him elevating as well as his career musically it’s almost unmatched as a whole salute to 50

What or who influences your music?

I don’t like to use other artists as inspiration real life events and situations are the real push behind my music , but I do have artists I zone out to like Nas, Jadakiss, Dave East, Styles P, etc but my strongest inspiration comes from my environment

What’s the process of creating music for you?

Creating is fun. I like to find challenges and new things to do during the creative process. I might go sit on the bathroom floor and write two songs … Sometimes I sit at the kitchen table and write the catchiest hooks I can think of , it really just matters how I feel at the moment…Hell sometimes I write bars with no beat playing just the feeling from inside you know it’s all about the vibe you have at the moment I think

Has anyone helped you or guided you in getting your foot in the industry?

Ans: Along the way I’ve had plenty of help from my support system people I’ve been connected with such as Explicit, Gifted716, Casiem NY, 290 Jones, Ma home boy zig , my sister Shizay money, big KCARMA CEO nothing but love for those people. Most importantly my mom she always kept music in my ears as a kid her and my father honestly I was born with this gift I believe lol

Tell our readers what to look out for next from you?

Be on the lookout for the upcoming videos off the get rich or die a king project, I like to be different it’s always fun making videos because I try to think outside of what everyone is used too it’s gets creative and I think ppl will enjoy the videos as well as the music , I also have a joint project with Gifted716 in the works and other music as well

What differentiates you from other artists?

What makes me different from other artists is my versatility. I don’t stay in one realm of content. I make good music in general but it’s always bars no matter what song you listen ima talk to you on it, If I made music to be like everyone else what would be the point ya know lol. I like to be me and show my talent while I’m doin it at all times, I’m ready to rap even when I don’t feel like it. I’m at my best lol. It didn’t happen overnight either I worked hard to be different and consistent

Name your top 5 Emcees

How can promoters looking to book you get in contact with you?

If you are a promoter looking to contact me you can get with my manager 290 Jones or email me at [email protected]

What do you hope to get out of your involvement in the music industry?

I hope to succeed and make a way through the times we living in and not that I don’t care too much about the bad things but I wanna focus on the good and change the way people think about each other I guess that’s the overall goal I mean we all wanna be somebody and be famous or known but it’s more to it then just fame for me, I wanna leave my mark in a way it can’t be forgotten. I wanna be something that lasts forever.
