His dedication to the studio and understanding the music business when it comes to doing songs with catchy hooks, delivery on the mic , and self promotion, etc., he has been catalysts in separating him from other aspiring artist who think they have what it takes just because they can freestyle for one hundred bars. ‘Only other rappers are caught up in those things, I make my music for those who are going to buy my music, period.’, says Big-B.

One of Big-B’s goals is to eventually executive produce for other aspiring artist. ‘ I want to get my career jumped off first, than I will go back and help others who supported me. I feel that the MD area is about to take off and I want to be the forefront of the whole thing.’
