I’m a conscious rapper, I rap about stuff from my life, my surroundings. Most of these rappers are either punch line rappers, bars rappers — I tell stories with my raps. I speak about my life and what I go through. I love doing club music so I also rap about stuff that goes on in a club. I let music speak for me. Whatever I’m thinking at the moment, that’s what comes out. I rap about how I feel about the beat. If the beat is on point and it hits me hard it’s going to be a good song. I’m especially good at ghost writing for RnB songs.
I like to hear tropical beats and trap beats with good melodies, usually with piano. I’m taking a beatmaking class at AS220 Youth to learn how to use the machines and get more professional. I’m the type of person who gives advice to other people because no matter what your songs can always be better. It can take me three or four years to complete a song sometimes because I’m a perfectionist and sometimes I don’t even finish songs. I like to explore the environment or different places to give me different ideas for what to write about next. I like writing poetry as well. Nas influenced me — he showed me how to tell stories with my raps. Also Lil Wayne helped me with metaphors because his metaphors are crazy, you’re like, Oh I could’ve thought of that, but you didn’t. He has people thinking. Chris Brown influenced me with his dancing. I know how to krump, a dance style invented by Tight Eyes aka Chez. One day at church a guy told this testimony of how dancing saved him from gang violence so I took the initiative to go up to him and ask him if he could teach me how to dance. So I started going to church and learning how to krump. Eventually I started traveling to different states and battling people, and started chilling with other dancers like breakdancers, popping, electro boogie, etc. I took the time to try all of those and make my own |
