1. When you were 12, what did you say you wanted to be when you grew up?

Lets do this: 3 Fav LPs right now: Electric Circus, Are You Experienced, and Silent Alarm. 2 fav artist right now: J*Davey and  Mickey Factz… naw f*ck that we gotta do 3 I love Theophilis London a lot as well. Shit Heavy too! I can [go] on and on with music! And let’s not forget my band The Roots!

3. What’s the strangest place or situation where you’ve received “special attention”?

I have f*cked 5 times at the Gallery Bar in the city. Shit one night I f*cked 2 times there in one night.  I ate… ahh never mind hahaha. But I have f*cked in a cab….got kicked out midway home. I have f*cked outside. I have f*cked on a bus, in a  movie theater.  ANYTIME ANY PLACE baby!

4.    Boxers, briefs, or commando?

I like boxers the most. But if you know me I will go no draws when I run out of boxers. I don’t like briefs. I hate the way my cock and balls feel all snug in them. Not cool!

STDS, Steve Christie, and rubber bands.

Gimme 5! is T.O.U.R.’s new column, where every week we ask influential industry heads some off-the-cuff questions to see what they’re thinking about outside of their offices. In just 5 questions, we shoot straight from the hip - whether it’s a writer, an artist, photographer, director or an E.P. (Executive Producer for you slow pokes) no one can escape our hot fiya! (LOL)
