    Q. Tell us who VBae is?

    A. VBae is a versatile type of chick; multi-personality but not in a crazy way, ha-ha. She’s outgoing & outspoken.

    Q. How did you become a Vegan? What challenges have you had becoming one?

    A. I became vegan because I got really sick with a tumor a while back. And I just started looking into what was going into my body. I was just becoming more aware, stuff like that. Challenges, I would say are going to the mall and smelling fried chicken, you know anywhere like fast food. When I got into Publix, they’ve got all the hot food, oh my gosh it smells so good. But then I’m like no, it’s not good for you. Period.

    Q. If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go?

    A. I would probably go to Italy because that’s where my mother’s side of the family is from. And yeah, Italy is beautiful. I would love to go there.

    Q. Describe your style and how it is different from others?

    A. My style is different because I only f*** like one-on-one s***. I try to find people who are just coming up and show love to independent business owners. That’s pretty much my style. I don’t like wearing what everybody else is wearing, period.

    Q. What other projects are you working on and where can everyone follow you?

    A. Right now, I am currently working with 112 and Jagged Edge on a set of shows called “The Experience”. I am preparing to tour worldwide with 112 later this year. I am also looking at creating a podcast where I would showcase new artists and their music. I want to give them a platform of their own where they aren’t competing with popular artists of today.

    Interview with M.O Littles

    By: Where It Begins

     

    Q. Tell us more about who M.O. Littles the Hip-Hop artist from Toronto is?

    A. I am a Toronto based, Hip-Hop artist who has been lucky enough to perform my music in over countries around the world. I’ve also had the opportunity to do shows and be on songs with the likes of Machine Gun Kelly, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Merkules, Madchild and Celph Titled & Apathy, to name a few.

    Q. What or who influenced you to get into music?

    A. The first time I heard Hip-Hop music was Maestro Fresh Wes’ “Drop the Needle” when I was 10 years old. That was a defining moment in my life and started me on a lifelong pursuit. I’ve had many influences throughout my years of making music, however, Tupac was the biggest during my formative years.

    Q. How is the music in Toronto different from the U.S. music?

    A. The music, itself, in Toronto isn’t all that much different than the U.S. because of the internet, we all get instant access to new music so things that are trending in the U.S., or anywhere else in the world, are simultaneously happening here as well. That being said, artists who aren’t necessarily following trends and creating music that is more based in their reality, can definitely come up with their own sound.

    Q. What are some of your other hobbies?

    A. I’ve always been into photography and have been working a lot more on it recently.

    Q. What is one of your best experiences or accomplishments you had being an artist?
