The natural born hitmaker has quite a story to tell. From his first album to Depreciated Art, we all have grown to love Pizzle from the first track we've ever heard. He uses intricate production in very track and intellect in every set of lyrics. Young & Talented, he is striving for nothing but the best for him along with his musical partners. As a positive role model in the music industry, he represents a true mogul in the making. Pizzle's work ethic is astounding and it shows in every project. With the release of the recent CMG mixtape, ATNPL, he is already in the making of Insomnia 2 and Depreciated Art. Other members of CMG are still working on new projects as well. As an artist and devoted father, the community needs a good hearted and incredibly talented person like Pizzle.
How did CMG come about? Who is the mastermind behind it all?Pizzle: I kinda put CMG together. I knew a few guys around the city who I felt were lyrically talented and thought it would be dope to put together a group where each artist would stand out. Not just a group with an apparent standout artist and just a bunch of guys rapping just to make up a label.
How important is the success of your team members?
Pizzle: It's very important. Any success gained by any of us individually is an advancement for us as a collective.
Although you have made songs with other locals artists, how selective are you in choosing who to work with?
Pizzle: I'm very selective. I try not to oversaturate myself.

How long have you been pursuing music? Do you plan to be a performer forever?
Pizzle: I released by first studio album at 14, so about 10 years seriously pursuing music. And not forever, I hope to become succcessful enough though that I can remain in the music business forever, running a label or something in that field.

Who you you say is your "music idol" in the mainstream? Who would you love to work with?
Pizzle: Kanye West. To both questions.
Where exactly do you see yourself and/or CMG as a whole in the next year?
Pizzle: In 2013, I think we all will go back to investing in our individual advancement. This year we kind of dedicated our effort to ATNPL but we all know it's hard to get on as a group. We have faith that when one of us gets in though, there will be a domino effect. Kind of how Kendrick Lamar buzzed hard and the rest of TDE also gained their own followings because of that .
What is your number one goal in this industry? What all do you hope to gain from the success of being an artist?
Would you describe the feeling of performing and hearing your songs on the radio to be of the same adrenaline rush?
Do you feel that when you are signed to a major record label anything will change?
What are you currently working on planning to release? How do you plan to bring something different than past album/mixtapes?

What is your number one goal in this industry? What all do you hope to gain from the success of being an artist?
Pizzle: I want to be one of the greatest artists of all time. Any genre, I just want to be really influential and have my story be heard.
Would you describe the feeling of performing and hearing your songs on the radio to be of the same adrenaline rush?
Pizzle: I love to perform & shows help me gain supporters so I try to get as many gigs as possible. I feel like anytime something major happens in my career, it is just a stepping stone. I'm always looking forward to the next big event in my timeline. So I guess I would describe the feeling as....like a "yeah, that's dope, now how do I capitalize off of this?" kind of attitude.
Do you feel that when you are signed to a major record label anything will change?
Pizzle: Just the attention.
As an underground artist in the small city of Milwaukee, do you feel have any strong competition from other local artists?
Pizzle: I really wouldn't consider it competition. I would like to look at them as like...teammates. It would be ideal for all of us make it and create a name in the game for the city.
Is there anything about the entertainment industry that intimidates you?
Pizzle: Just dealing with the negativity. But I'm getting better at handling it already.

Pizzle: Insomnia 2 and Depreciated Art. And I wouldn't say I'm bringing anything dramatically different. Instead I'm aiming to improve upon what people have grown to appreciate from me. If it ain't broke don't fuck wit it, type sh*t lol.
