AGW: Who is your biggest influence?
Jay-Cro: I would have to say between MC Hammer and Barack Obama. I wanted to be just like Hammer when I was little ‘cuz it just looked dope and fun being on stage rapping and dancing so it’s been my dream since. Barack is my influence ‘cuz ever since he’s been my president I don’t know the word “cant”.
AGW: What artist(s) do you look up to in the game?
Jay-Cro: Eminem, Lil’ Wayne, T.I., and Kanye west
AGW: What is a misconception about you?
Jay-Cro: Besides being slept on, that I’m a silly rapper or I just rap freaky. I’m silly as hell and it shows in music a lot ‘cuz I put my life in my records but I can make songs about any and everything I feel is real. That’s why I call myself a universal artist. I don’t go out my boundaries ‘cuz I believe hip-hop is supposed to be a fact.
AGW: How do you feel Twitter has affected your career?
Jay-Cro: Twitter has done things for me that I couldn't have seen me doing in a million years. People ask why I’m always on twitter? ‘Cuz it’s a very powerful tool if used right, you got to know how to work it. My name has grown farther ‘cuz of twitter with gaining a fan base from all over the world, I love it.

AGW: What would be your dream deal scenario?
Jay-Cro: U.S.R./DEF JAM or UNIVERSAL
AGW: Why do you think people look the other way when it comes to the Michigan's music scene?
Jay-Cro: because of the bad reputation we have here, people hear Detroit and think murder death kill, and most of the time that’s all hood n****s want to rap about here, and the artist that actually have something to rap about don’t get heard. But, I think the industry just need to give us an outlet and we will prove a lot of people wrong.
AGW: What do you feel is your role in putting Michigan, more specifically Detroit back on the music scene?
Jay-Cro: I don’t want to say I’m going to be Detroit’s savior but when I get on I’m a mos def put on for my city. It’s so much talent here besides me and my camp I think the world really needs to see how talented Detroit/Midwest Hip-Hop is fasho. My role would def be to open doors up for the city ‘cuz lord knows we need them.
