I found out that I could rap my junior year in high school. There was this kid that let me hear a song that he recorded. It was over the "Quiet Storm" instrumental. I heard it and I was like, "Damn!....I wonder If I can do this". So I went home and started writing and writing....I slowly started to improve and I was getting better at it. definitely has to be one of my main musical influences. Pac touched and reached so many people and It's easy to understand why. He could trigger any emotion in you with his music. He could be deep, he could have fun, he could show his true feelings. He wasn't afraid to let it all out. is definitely up there, too, for a lot of the same reasons as 2Pac. Eminem put his personal life out there for EVERYBODY to see. Everybody knows Haile, everybody knows Kim. A lot of people don't know this, but is a big one for me, too. Staind is REAL deep. is one of the greatest songwriters out there right now. and , they are original and know how to have fun with music, they give it their personality and make it real entertaining. for his wordplay and flow. B.I.G has to have one of the best flows in Hip Hop. I listened to a lot of growing up. I'm from Cali so you KNOW and are up there, too. , one of the BEST producers out there. There's too many musical influences to name....and of course all the Latin Rapper that kicked in the door for other Latinos to do their thing. , , .....I know theres more, but I can't think of them all. You know, It's funny because that actually just started out as a joke....One day back before I even started rapping, I was kickin it at my homies house. We were talking about Hip Hop and what our "rap names" would be If we were ever rappers. I had NO idea...I couldn't think of anything. So I said, "I'm gonna pick up this newspaper, close my eyes, and put my finger on something, whatever I put my finger on, THAT'S what I'm gonna go by." So I closed my eyes, put my finger down, opened my eyes and saw the name....AUGUSTO PINOCHET. I didn't know who he was at the time, but it turns out he was a dictator in Chilie. I didn't like the name PINOCHET so I switched it up to PINOKIT to make it my own. I just liked the way it sounded, It has a certain ring to it....It's pronounced PIN-UH-KIT.

Story behind the song
I wrote this at a time in my life where I felt like I couldn't breathe. A time where everything that could possibily go wrong in my life....went wrong. My mom and dad were both diagnosed with Cancer and were at a crucial time, my relationship with my girlfriend/best-friend was over, I had fake people around me, etc etc. People have different ways of dealing with problems in there life. Some people drink tha pain away, some people smoke the pain away, some people talk to friends or talk to a psychiatrist. This is how I release the pain. At first I was hesitant about writing about everything I talk about. I guess you can say I was scared to, because it was hard to think about everything that was going on let alone talk about it. I wasn't sure if making a song about this would make me feel better, make me feel worse, or have no effect at all. Now that I look back, It did help. I had so much bottled up inside of me, that I felt I was gonna explode. Writing and recording this song helped me release the pain. I also wanted to do it for the same reason I do a lot of my personal songs, I thought "I know there are other people going through the same situations, if not worse situations that I am. If I can help them or they can relate to me with this song, then that's a good thing". I quoted Aaron Lewis (Staind) at the end. I heard him say that in an interview one time and I was like "Damn! That is some real shit!" It's so true so I had to put that in the song. This is pure emotion and bottled up feelings released on a song. Check it out.....
Lyrics
Pinokit "Off My Chest" Yo, this song right here...is just some shit that....I had to get off my chest. I gotta do this song for me....listen... VERSE 1 When I wake up, I lift my face up Hopin and beggin that what I been livin Is nothin but a dream A nightmare, fake friends around me I stay segregated That's why the dark surrounds me Thought I was lost Til a special someone found me Thought it was love But to her was only phony Dear Mom and Dad Know that I love you with all this That's why it hurt When death tried to take you from all this The only two people, I can trust for an answer Threatened to be taken from me By terminal cancer Damn, what the fuck is goin on It's like shit is always wrong in my life One big drama goin on, so CHORUS - 2x Let me free, let me finally release this Let me breathe, the pain I gotta speak this Let me be, So I can put my mind to rest But first there's things That I gotta get off my chest VERSE 2 Never in my worst nightmare, I woulda thought That I would live a life Where you weren't standin right there You were the last one I expected To have turned ya back, and walk away Like what we had just didn't mean nothin I ain't gon lie, the pain that I hold inside The tears that I always cry There's days that I'd rather die How the FUCK Do I keep my head up to the sky When the only person who kept me goin Exited my life, but still If you're happy, girl, then I'm ok with it But what really hurts I gave you my heart and you just ran with it Thought that you were the one That I could finally love But instead you turn ya back And act like I was no one CHORUS - 2x Let me free, let me finally release this Let me breathe, the pain I gotta speak this Let me be, So I can put my mind to rest But first there's things That I gotta get off my chest VERSE 3 The only reason I'm doin this song is I hope maybe I can release some pain I hold in Cuz lately my whole just semms to be all caved in No matter what I do, and there ain't no escapin Lookin up over the sky The clouds just seem to drape in Up high over my head And then the rain just sets in Back against the wall Through my body to the floor On my knees talk to the Lord Beggin please, oh God, no more Gimme the strength that I need for me to go on Look at this bottle of Hennessy, It's all gone I'm crawlin in the dark, But I just got to hold on I try to keep my head up, but this shit is so hard Cuz everywhere I look I see nothin but pain, dog Listen as Im spillin my heart all out on this song Evereything I feel, Evereything I touch Everything I think Etched out forever with this ink CHORUS - 2x Let me free, let me finally release this Let me breathe, the pain I gotta speak this Let me be, So I can put my mind to rest But first there's things That I gotta get off my chest You know, right about now, I'd like to quote some shit that Aaron Lewis once said....it makes a lot of sense to me.... "Everything that happenes to you in your life, or throughout your life....still sticks with you, and it still molds you, and changes you, and makes you the person that you are. But no matter how good things are goin in your life, you still can't get away from all the bad things that happened before....some things just don't go away....they leave scars" Life Is Pain...
