The Beat Yard: You have a mixtape out right now, Paradise Phone Home, could you tell the readers a little something about the mixtape?
K.W. The Artisan: The mixtape is dope! It tells story about the path to paradise and what paradise really is. It contains skits from an anime called "Wolf's Rain." I have a few features, a bunch of bars and even a few songs for the ladies. There's something for everybody on this one.
The Beat Yard: What type of beats can be found on this project?
K.W. The Artisan: There's a couple of 90's beats, a few familiar samples, and some original beats.

The Beat Yard: Do you producer or make any beats yourself? If so what do you use?
K.W. The Artisan: I am just getting into it. I just bought a keyboard from my homie and I'm going to try Garage Band until I get good enough to buy a program.
The Beat Yard: What producers / beatmakers would you like to work with in the future?
K.W. The Artisan: Any of the producers listed above. A J. Cole and Big K.R.I.T. collaboration would be dope.
The Beat Yard: Are you picky about beats or are you the type of artist that can pretty much ride any type of beat?
K.W. The Artisan: I'm not that picky at all. I listen to a wide range of music so as long as I like it, I can pretty much rap over it.
