Getmybuzzup: Tell us a little about yourself? 201 Sunni: My name is Suarez, stage name 201 Sunni. I was born and raised in Bennettsville SC. I am the oldest of five boys. My hobbies include fishing, recording music, and spending time with my family. I am currently an IS/IT Deployment Specialist. I love to travel and shop. Getmybuzzup: How long have you been in the music industry? 201 Sunni: I have been in the music industry officially for about three months now. I dropped my first official song on streaming services on December 20. I have been helping promote other artists for over 10 years though. Getmybuzzup: How did you get started in the first place? 201 Sunni: I was always a big fan of music growing up. So one day in 4th grade we had to write a song for our journal entry. I remixed “I Got the Hook-Up” by Master P into “I Got the Hiccups”. After that, I joined a few groups. Moreover, in 6th grade, my daddy brought me a tape player and a tape recorder. I took a song the Hot Boys made and the instrumental for the song to add my verse. All on a cassette tape. I did a St. Lunatics song the same way. People at school thought I was the shit. Lol. Getmybuzzup: How would you describe your sound? 201 Sunni: It is hard to describe my sound. Well to me anyway. I listen to so many people as an artist that it is hard for me to put a sound on it. I try to keep it original and do my own thing. Getmybuzzup: Who are your inspirations in the music industry? 201 Sunni: I would definitely say all Atlanta musical artist inspire me. I love the way Atlanta’s music scene is and how the music makes you bounce whether the lyrics ride or not. Nate Dogg has a heavy influence on my music as well. He was like the hook god back in the day. Old School R&B inspires me too. I was raised on all kinds of music so everything influences me. Getmybuzzup: How do you go about writing a song and what is your process? 201 Sunni: When I write I normally write to a beat. I listen to a beat for about 10-30 seconds sometimes shorter and then I start writing. Some songs I write with no beat. I consider those freestyles. Only because the style is free, it was written with no pattern in mind. Getmybuzzup: What is the concept behind your latest project? 201 Sunni: My latest project “2:58am Freestyle" didn’t really have a concept. My homeboy was listening to Splurge and I made a similar style beat and dropped a freestyle on it. Getmybuzzup: Any plans on touring to promote your latest project? 201 Sunni: Yes most definitely. I travel a lot with my job I plan on getting a lot promotional material to get out in every city. I also plan to get in touch with some promoters and hopefully be able to book some shows while I am out working. That would be dope. I am going to CIAA in Charlotte to promote in Feb. and Miami in March for Spring Break. Getmybuzzup: What did you buy with your first check off music? 201 Sunni: I have not really made a first rap check but I am probably going but something to make me more money. A studio, something to create clothes, invest in something. Getmybuzzup: What are must-haves when you are in the studio working? 201 Sunni: Voodoo Chips. Herbs. Cellphone. And my Glock. I might have the Pap with me too. Getmybuzzup: What is the best piece of advice in this business you actually followed? 201 Sunni: Never wait on the next man to put you on. Make your own moves. Getmybuzzup: Will you be collaborating with any other artists on this project or in the future? 201 Sunni: I plan to work with everybody in the future. I know that is impossible but I want to work with all artist. This upcoming project might feature Tiggy, Veto3X, TayTheSix, JE Misfit, Big Freeway, & Frank DiNero. I am not really set on a tracklist yet. Nevertheless, I want to work with Lisha G, Litty Vuitton, and NSB Mali Renni Rucci. All them Carolina artist by the way. Check them out. Thank me later yawl. Lol. However, I want the Carolinas to win. Ion care who win for us. Just win. Oh yeah, I want to work with DaBaby too. He Carolina as well. Getmybuzzup: Do you think your music is mostly enjoyed more for the beats or for the lyrical flow and content? 201 Sunni: Kind of both. I do not think I mumble rap and I always liked to do bars. Therefore, I would say both because I can put bars on a catchy ass dance beat. Getmybuzzup: What area do you need to improve on in regards to your career? (Example: Better production, Delivery, Stage presence, etc...) 201 Sunni: Better promotion and marketing. I am a one-man team right now far as online marketing and promotion. It gets hard trying to find the right blog. The write website to post. I need large amounts of improvement in those two areas, marketing and promotion. Getmybuzzup: What is your all-time favorite song? 201 Sunni: I honestly do not have one. I tried to think of one but come up with nothing. However, right now for real for real.

I use to do Soundcloud but that is like the norm. Everybody can post on Soundcloud so that is like public school. But not everybody knows how to get in Tidal, Spotify, Amazon Play and other sites.
