Astro says he enjoys acting like the next man but didn’t even consider to record so much of a song for the Echo’s soundtrack.

“The rapping and the acting are separate,” he maintains. “I’m not trying to combine the two. The acting is the job, the rapping is just something I do. The film’s I have done have been fun and I’m not going to stop. But I am going to take a break after this TV show I’m working on and then focus more on the music.”
