Q. Why do you call yourself Miss Keke-The Queen of Krunk?
A . Because there's a lot of Kekes. I feel like I have the upper hand, so I put Miss in front of Keke. As far as "The Queen of Krunk," the way I vibe off of Lil Jon is the same reaction I get from my audience. I can put a little more flavor into the Krunk Juice as a female. So holla at 'cha girl, BME Records.
Q. Are your lyrics about personal experiences?
A. They're about personal experiences, mixed emotions, and the people we all love:haters.
Q. Who inspires you?
A. My brother on my mama side because he's my best friend and my judge among judges.
Q. What CDs are in your car/stereo now?
A. A bunch of bootlegs, but don't tell nobody. Crunk Juice, Sex'n after the dark, Twista, and me.
Q. Have you collaborated with other artists?
A. Yeah, a lot of Texas artists such as Super Dave, OE da Thriller, Mixed Breed, Chazz, J-Stone, and Brandy. I'm currently working with Mr. Pookie, Lil' Soc, A. Russ, Daphne, etc.
Q. Do you participate in talent shows or other events on campus?
A. I participated in Wreck da Mic Wednesday on Hump Day, won 2nd place in Spring Fest '04 and 1st place in SIFE's hip hop.
Q. Have you ever performed professionally?
A. I opened up for Wreck Shop Records at the Palm Beach Club in Downtown Dallas. I did a show at Club Nairobi, Tom Cats, and Erykah Badu's Black Forest Theater in Dallas.
Q. What songs do you like best on your CD?
A. All of them between the intro and the outro because I know all the words.
