What inspires you to create music?

Life. I'm inspired by things I feel, things I see that need to be heard about- my experiences socially, spiritually and emotinally .


What is your favorite album of all time?

That's a hard one. I love "Killuminati" by 2Pac, "There's One in Every Family" by Fiend, "Vivian" by Vivian Green, "Marshall Mathers LP" by Eminen, it's so many. This year I got hip to a STL artist named Kenny Knox. His album "3Pac" is one of the best albums I've ever heard.

"Tha Committed" Promo Cover

Tell me more about the PulseOfTheCity Music Group. What is the driving force behind the label, and how long have you been involved?

POTCMG is a collection of really good lyricIsts. I've been rocking with it for about three years. We just wanna deliver good music and raise the bar while relaying real life experiences.








What about your collaboration with FeMcee City? Can you inform the readers on the movement and goals?

Femcee Nation Logos

Femcee Nation Org. LLC is a company myself and four other womrn formed to provide outlets for and promote unity among female artists.


Personally, what are your intentions for your musical career?

I intend to tell the truth, educate, vent and give the world a piece of me. My music is my diary.


A woman of many talents. I see you are also the head-writer of a mobile magazine, called inBox Mobile Magazine & DVD. Can you tell me more about that?


I've been writing for www.inboxmag.mobi for a little over a year. I use this as an outlet to stay in touch with STL underground and to educate people about issues and ideas that pertain to our communities.


Any new sounds or collaborations in the works?

"Tha Committed" by our squad, H.A.R.D Asylum is due to drop very soon. This is going to be one of the dopest projects in the Lou because it bypasses lyrical requirements but has that aggressive delivery and complexity that makes it so different.  My solo project "The Great DeBates" is in its recording stage and it'll probably be one of the most controversial mixtapes from my city. I talk about some serious business, song by song, and I'm almost certain I'm gonna upset a few people.

To listen to music produced by TeeZee Hottrax visit: soundcloud.com/dattee

Get  soundtrack 'Coke N Paul' here on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/album/id670770282  

How long have you been producing and managing music?

I am actually not a producer I do not create beats or engineer. I recorded my first song in November 2012, performed live for the first time Jan 2013, and have been managing talent since Sept 2013.


What was your inspiration behind starting Studs N Hip Hop?

Studs N Hip Hop

My inspiration for SNHH was simply the lack of avenues tangible for aggressive lesbian women. I believe in strength in numbers and I wanted to create a movement that would connect stud artist around the world and have a strong impact. I wanted to show all people how talented we are so maybe they would realize that good music is not defined by sexuality or image. SNHH promotes all artist regardless of their sexuality because if we don't promote or play music made by straight people how will we get them to listen and take our craft seriously?


Out of the many acts you have managed, which is your favorite? Which was the most challenging?

I once managed a 15 year old stud emcee who was both my favorite artist and one of the most challenging ones. Her potential caused me to take her under my wing but her lack of dedication made it hard for us to maintain our business relationship.





As an artist, producer, manager, and radio host; which of your many titles do you feel most inspired by?

I am inspired my the music I create because I am a versatile emcee who not only educates but entertains as well. If people listen to my music they would notice that no two tracks are the same. I reinvent myself every time I create a new song by switching up my delivery and lyrical content. I speak on a wide range of topics rather it be poverty, drinking and driving, sexuality, discrimination, partying, or striving to make it.


New To The Game Not The Hustle, what can you tell us about your debut album?

"New To The Game Not The Hustle" The concept basically means being new to a particular way of hustling but knowledgeable about hustling all together. This album will display just how versatile and talented TeeZee really is. N2TGNTH will educate fans, make them think, laugh, cry, and will even piss some people off. If fans heard my sophomore mixtape "this that hip hop" they already know the political and inspirational side of my music  and if they heard songs like "work" or "That A1" they also know the party side as well. This album will is expected to be release in September 2014 and will be available on itunes or official hard copies.

What future plans can we expect from Teezz Hottrax?

Future plans for TeeZee Hottrax: continuing to create good music and new opportunities for LGBT artists!
