Time travel is real. We began our annual “Reflection Q&A Interview Series” six years ago; in each one the participant recounts their likes and growth from the previous year while also sharing what to expect from them in the year to come.

THISENT.com did not exist when the pioneering “15 to 16 Q&A” debuted with another publication in 2016. The beauty of it all is that time has allowed our team to carry the series with us here today.

With that in mind we decided to share the interview with iconic Grammy and Billboard awards-winning, multiplatinum selling singer, songwriter, and producer Joey Beanz Little aka Joe Little III from six years ago!

Following this trip through time, we’ll share what The Rude Boys member is up to six years later. THIS is for YOU!
