St. Louis talent Huey is a phenomenal artist with the world of Hip-Hop on his shoulders. You may know him best for his chart-topping single "Pop, Lock and Drop It," but Huey is looking to astound the world once more with his long awaited sophomore album, Redemption. I was lucky to be able to sit down with him to chat about his hiatus, aspirations and vent with him about the current state if Hip-Hop.

If an artist has been in the industry for more than a decade, there is an automatic inclination to put together a tough line of questioning that parallels nothing they've ever faced in their lengthy career.  The entire trip to meet the artist, the writer goes over the questions their head, prepping themselves for a verbal duet with a veteran artist, hoping to not only leave a lasting impression but to capture their story in a dynamic interview and feature story. When it turns out that the artist is a 16-year veteran who has dominated the R & B world with just the mononymous name, Monica, things become a lot more difficult. When you walk in a room, into the presence of the beautiful, strong, classy and oh so passionate songstress you'd be lucky to remember your own name much less comprehend the disoriented scramble of thoughts shifting up in that head of yours.
