<p><strong>AllHipHop: What area exactly?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Poiison:</strong> I’m from Ozone Park. While I’m not from the more famous parts of Queens, I still carry that Queens pride.</p>
<p><strong>AllHipHop: Forest Hills has its charm too. All areas of Queens have their own vibes.</strong></p><!-- Ezoic - wp_long_content - long_content --><span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-130" data-inserter-version="2"/><!-- End Ezoic - wp_long_content - long_content -->
<p><strong>Poiison:</strong> As an artist, I’m both a singer and a rapper. My creativity knows no bounds, and I’m enjoying every moment. I’m here to stir things up.</p>
<p><strong>AllHipHop: Let’s discuss your recent tracks featuring Cash Cobain.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Poiison: </strong>He’s incredibly talented right now. “Me, Her And You” is a track I created, and my connections pointed me to him. I thought, “Cash Cobain is the hottest in the city!” We decided to collaborate, and I instantly knew which song to send him. It’s a little different from his usual style, but we really connected in the studio. He delivered an amazing verse, and I’m grateful for it. I believe our collaboration allowed us both to explore new territories.</p><!-- Ezoic - wp_longer_content - longer_content --><span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-131" data-inserter-version="2"/><!-- End Ezoic - wp_longer_content - longer_content -->
<p><strong>AllHipHop: How do you perceive the current music scene in New York? It's always been a hotbed for talent, with icons like Nas and Nicki Minaj. How do you find your place?</strong></p>

I plan to keep moving, showcasing my distinctive style. I’m bringing fun and authenticity, while also addressing meaningful topics that connect with listeners. This is part of the new wave.</p>

<p><strong>AllHipHop: That track resonated with me.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Poiison: </strong>It’s definitely a classic.</p><!-- Ezoic - wp_incontent_5 - incontent_5 --><span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-133" data-inserter-version="2"/><!-- End Ezoic - wp_incontent_5 - incontent_5 -->
<p><strong>AllHipHop: Indeed, it is a classic. Could you share more about the inspiration behind that record?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Poiison:</strong> “Pills For The Pain” came from an authentic place. I was living well but struggling to find internal happiness. I visited a friend's studio, where I poured out my feelings, and he encouraged me to record. What emerged was organic. The lyrics came effortlessly: <em>“Pills for the Pain on a Sunny Day / I don't know what love is. It just faded away.”</em> That moment transformed into a popular song that still resonates with listeners today.</p>

<p><strong>AllHipHop: Can you elaborate on that message, especially for young women?</strong></p><!-- Ezoic - wp_incontent_12 - incontent_12 --><span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-140" data-inserter-version="2"/><span data-ez-ph-id="140"/><!-- End Ezoic - wp_incontent_12 - incontent_12 -->
<p><strong>Poiison: </strong>The track “Big Boys” addresses the importance of positive male influences.

It was great to receive his brotherly advice throughout the process.</p>
