Arty's Q & A
1) For the new listeners who don't know Arty Basqiyah, Introduce yourself and tell a story about you.
Arty: Well I'm originally from Moreno Valley, California. I spent half of my life in California and half of my life in Las Vegas. I start doing music in 2012 and started producing around 2008. I never really had a rap dream, I was just writing and making songs for myself to listen to but then it started to get really serious for me about 2014.
2) What made you want to become a rapper and producer? When did you start doing both?
Arty: At the time, I was just in a space where I just wanted to try things. I loved English in school and poetry even though I didn't write any and just decided to write. I made a video and asked people to tell me if I were trash or not. And everyone told me it was pretty good, so I kept going.
3) Do you remember your first rap line? You thought it was dope or not.
Arty: I honestly don't remember, I write so much and i probably thought it was dope.
4) What's your thoughts on the new artists in the industry? Who do you like right now?
Arty: I love the new artist in the industry, i don't listen to a lot of new people but I'm pretty sure they have something i would truly like. I love lil'pump, xxx (rest in peace), saba, mick jenkins, noname, asaiah ziv, kendrick, j cole. I listen to a lot of music, it's a long list.
5) Who influenced you to become who you are right now?
Arty: God definitely!
6) Why the title Young Flower Pot for the album? What's the meaning behind it?
Arty: YFP symbolizes me planting a seed. It's my first album ever, so that's what i feel like what's happening. Planting my first seed into the soil and show casing what will be coming in the future. Also planting a seed in the people to go after their dreams. We only got one life to live so don't waste it, tomorrow's not promised to none of us.

Tracks from 2-15 is all produced by me. The features are Obed Padilla on the bass and also helmut zero on the bass as well.

Arty: About 8 months. I started in January of this year and finished in September.
9) What is your number one biggest challenge and biggest fear as a young artist?
Arty: I honestly don't even think about these two questions for myself because I'm always pushing to better myself if i put my mind to it, I'm a do it. If i fail? I'm a rebuild myself and coming back even stronger. In life you win some and learn some. When you hit a wall, take a second to learn about the situation and come back harder.
