He was responding to a users question: "At what age did you FIRST step into a studio to record music?"

As for his choice of the stage name, Cheque said he picked it because he would usually say those words (Check) several times whenever he was about to start rapping or singing.

A Twitter user had asked if he chose it or it is friends in school that have him the name.

"Go it in school , cause I always say it too much before I started rapping then," Cheque said.

"I just explore any mood I’m in at that particular point and I go in on the beat , I just vibe, then I write the Lyrics after I finish the song."
