I would like to introduce Songwriter, Rapper, Businesswoman and Entertainer Miss Aja 'Lioness' Malone.
Miss R: You wrote your first rhyme at the age of ten, Do you remember the lyrics?
Lol, I wish I could but I'm sorry I do not I just know my first rhyme was some A, B, C stuff very basic lol...but what a lot of people may not know is I started writing R&B songs first. I can not remember the song or what it was even about, but when I would write I absolutely loved putting how I felt on paper. It was soothing & helped me free my mind & I also wanted to relate to others as they may be experiencing some similar things in their lives.
Miss R: What makes you stand out from other female MC's?
I strongly believe each artist plays a part in music...it's all about knowing your position and staying in your lane but not having a problem to crossover if certain visions/productions call for that. I love to stick to the creativity. I love and absolutely enjoy that fun, feel good music & the lyrical essence of Hip-Hop, so with each song I stick to that form. I can write a song that is creative, fun, lyrical, with a edge & still give you a good feeling with a touch of charm. I also aim for songs that people can relate to, paint a picture...tell a story. People want to know you genuinely and sincerely respect and appreciate. I am letting everyone know I feel you whether it is directly or indirectly. I'm bringing that passion and energy...letting you know I feel it and I feel you. I also love being witty & having that wordplay that will make people think.
Miss R: What's your favourite song ?
Lol, oh my....my favourite song?...there are so many I feel like if I name one I will be taking away from the others lol....that's really hard for me to pinpoint...& I'm saying that from all genre's(Gospel, Reggae, R&B, Hip-Hop, Pop, etc.) I really just love all kinds of music.
Miss R: Mary J Blige, MC Lyte and Queen Latifah are 3 female Rappers who you admire. Who are your top 3 male rappers?
Scarface(Brad Jordan) , Redman, & Jay-Z
Miss R: Who would be your dream collaboration?
Oh wow, there are really so many once again, but I would have to start off by saying MC Lyte, Lauryn Hill, Mary J. Blige, Jay-Z, Cold Play, FallOut Boy.
Miss R: What are you working on now?
My Secret Weapon Vol 2: Cloak and Dagger mixtape which is hosted by DJ Rob-Low is complete. I have dropped 3 single thus far from off the the mixtape "Don't Want None of This," F.Y.E (Top of The Line Jewelry)," & "State of the Art 2.0". The full mixtape will be dropping this August. From there I will be dropping my debut EP album "I Live For This...."
Miss R: What's been your biggest achievement so far?
I'm still working towards having a big achievement. I believe I have a lot more room to grow as a person, artist, songwriter, businesswoman, & entertainer before I can say I have a big achievement. I mean don't get me wrong I've had a lot of great things occur & have been blessed with some really great opportunities but I don't believe I'm at that stage as of yet. I'm still learning and growing through experience.
Miss R: How have you developed as a artist?
I'm still developing as an artist each day I am learning and growing. I see improvements on a lyrical level, business level, etc but I feel like I have so much more room to get better than I was the day before...the song before & etc. I believe it's all a works in progress & it takes God & teamwork. I don't do this all on my own.
Miss R: What other projects are you involved with?
