He also dropped one of the best features this year on the Nick Straight track “City of Hell”. We talked about his influences, his goals and his upcoming project.

Grey: What got you into hip-hop?

Tac0o: I was always rapping and putting words together at a young age (around when I was 8 years old). I met Alley Rocket when I was 16 and he’s the one who inspired me and gave me that drive that I can accomplish all the goals I put in front of myself

Grey: What are your goals? Both short term and long term

Tac0o: For short term, I want to build a true fan base and have successful releases. For long term, I want to have an impact in the world with my music and I want to influence others just like me to achieve whatever they believe is possible no matter the hand they’re dealt

Grey: How would you describe your style of music?

Tac0o: I would describe it as raw and uncut. I treat my music like therapy so if you listening, you could tell how I’m feeling or how some shit made me feel

Grey: What’s your creative process like?

Tac0o: I just be tryna clear my head when I’m cooking. Like I said I treat this music like therapy. Most of the time, I’m alone making music and I try not to overthink. The homies are the first one to hear whatever I cooked up and 8/10 times they be loving my shit. At the same time, I know there’s room for improvement so I’m never content

Grey: You’ve hinted at dropping a project called “The Preseason”. Can you tell me more about that?

Tac0o: Lmao. The Preseason was something to grab everyone’s attention. The plan was to rap on some legendary hip-hop beats and show my skill off. Really grab everyone’s attention and let them know I’m different and there’s no one coming how I’m coming

Grey: Who are your biggest musical influences?

Tac0o: I would have to say Lil Wayne, J Cole, Alley Rocket, 50 Cent and Chief Keef

Grey: What are your dream collaborations?

Tac0o: Anyone one of them that I listed above. It’s an honor to get to work with Rocket already. Ill also like to work with T-Pain. That’ll be a hit fasho. G Herbo too, he was an influence on me as well

Grey: What’s next for Tac0o right now? Are you going to keep on dropping freestyles for now or should fans expect a new track in the near future?

Tac0o: You can expect something NEW. The freestyles are done for now as I’m transitioning into the Biggest Outlaw. I’m excited for what I got coming next
