The Unknxwn Rapper [CBTVondemand]

This young man that I am about to introduce you all to in my opinion is a phenominal artist. I found him a few years back before twitter lol! but I fell in love with his C.B TV presents:The laziest mixtape you’ve ever heard aka why the heck did you put The Konchense Tape and Mixed Signals on one cd? i mean check out the title... anywho just wanted to show yall what i think real music is! so enjoy! ....GIGGITY! oh wait no...Gea Gea GEEEEEAAAAA!


1. if you would please formally introduce yourself.

The name's Jerry Louis Manning Jr...sounds super classy right? lol I go by C.B TV (C.B=Carolina Boi) the TV part is something I picked up from a verse I did on a song called "revenge of the nerd" (09 stuff). I'm from Germany and NC but currently located in Temple Tx (soon to be Austin in aug). Im a 20 year old 2nd year college student woot woot!! almost done =D Im not a gamer, but I can get down on the sticks no doubt! Im an avid anime watcher and im also a ninja...for all those who havent noticed

2. whats your flow?

my flow? um...I dont know really, Im the type of person who goes with the flow. Sometimes Im comical others I'm deep or insightful...there's really no telling with me! I can say all my music is 100% real, if ive never done it or dont do it, I wont lie about it. I label my brand of music "Hyper Active Ninja Music" ADD approved (thumbs up)

3. how'd you get rollin'?

I started writing music after I heard The Clipse's "Lord Willin" album, that was my 1st major influence musically, it was also my 2nd rap cd I purchased lol go figure!! I was maybe 11 or 12 at the time I wasnt really serious about writing until I was 13. I moved from Germany to Tx when I was 15 and thats when I recorded my 1st track over Eminem's "Soldier" beat (the song was horrible). I started making beats around this time too, but only like...a handful of people knew I could do both.

4. inspiration?

I'm inspired by alot of cool people, WAY too many to name! I'm not just talking about musical inspiration either because alot of my listeners inspire me. When people hit you up saying "yo I jam your music daily" you cant help but get inspired to give people your best. I believe i have the coolest listeners...and i dare anyone to test that lol As far as music im inspired by all those who stay true to their craft and make what I think is cool. Im inspired by movies, anime, and other visual art forms, I was always the kid who seen something once and soaked it in. I turn what I see into ideas and build my own universe of thoughts around it.

5. look in my crystal ball, what do you see?

I see myself out of college in 2 years and living in Austin...to be honest thats as far as I can see because thats a MUST!!! Hopefully the other things I want to do fall in place. Almost forgot...married to the lovely Keyshia Cole, thaaaats right!! She wants me, just doesnt know it yet lol

7.unknown or known?

I'd rather be known, and I say this because I have a point to prove! I want people to see that there are artists out here who are able and willing to be human when they are in the spotlight. I want to show kids its cool to be different and no matter what people say, they cant strip you of what makes you unique. I hate to see people outcasted because they are interested in things that are not meant for black people or things that are "lame" to their peers. Hopefully my words can reach all those who are going through what I'm going through or have been through it. I just want my messages to be heard by all...thats all I ever wanted lol Being an only child sucks. But if I never make it, I'll still be grateful for all those who stayed by my side the whole journey.
