New York Rising: You have been performing at quite a few places recently, tell the readers about a few of the shows you've recently done and some of the ones you have coming up.....
Mono Bagends I just performed in Pennsylvania (Club Casa Blanca) and Long Island (Revolution Music Hall). I got 5 more shows booked all across New York. Two this week at Shrine World Music Venue and OTB Lounge.

New York Rising: So far, what has been one of the best shows you've had in recent history and why?
Mono Bagends The last two shows were dope. The show I did at Revolution Music Hall was a lot of fun because the stage and sound system were tremendous...There were lights going on and off on me. It was a great atmosphere. At Club Casa Blanca, when I was done the owner of the club brought me and my people to his private restaurant as a sign of respect for the show I put on. It's an awesome feeling when you are done performing.

New York Rising: What can fans expect from you at a Mono Bagends show?
Mono Bagends: A real performance. We perform the records. There is a lot of energy in the building. Never a dull moment. MC Stik-E is my hype man...he is one of the best of all time. I always get love from people when I step off the stage.

New York Rising: How can promoters and venue owners get at you for future events?
