Hardwork is said to be the prerequisite to success. Do you disagree? Surely one person who doesnt is Lance Eustache, aka The Specialist. The New York City product has been perfecting his craft for quite some time, capitalizing off of a focus and determination second to none. A true music connoiseur, Specialist is a master at the art of freestyle, but understands the importance of substance and songwriting. The Mad Music representative has long since been a student of creativity, in the form of Hip Hop. At 25 years of age, many would say he comes across as a person far beyond his age, yet very identifiable with his contemporaries.
Adrenaline rushing, sweat pouring, articulately giving his all, you can catch Specialist at home at a show near you. Hustle personified, his mixtape offering " Now or Never" is available now. Take a walk with me, as I present to you......
What other genres of music do you bump, outside of Hip Hop?
I listen to rock, soft rock , jazz , a lil bit of country and classical.

what defines Specialist as a person and as an artist?
Basically if you know me , you would know my friends nickname me special because of the type human being I am. I'm very rare , the things I say and do are uncommon just like my music .
Why rap as a means of expressing yourself?
Growing up I was always very shy and quiet but loved music. Music touches my soul and brings out the inner most feelings and thoughts of me .
If you only could have 5 songs on an ipod, what would they be?
That's a tough one but I would have to say Joe Buddens- all of me, Micheal Jackson's- Human Nature, Specialist- Trapped, Eminem- Spend some time and Zoneout- therapy
