In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I started writing raps at the age of 13. I began pursuing a music career at the age of 17, releasing freestyles on social media. In 2017 I started RTR (Respect The Real LLC.) my independent label in honor of my grandmother who transitioned that year. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Ab-Soul, Control System Kendrick Lamar, To Pimp a Butterfly Lil Wayne, Tha Carter III These three albums shaped my adolescence. The creativity, sonic landscape, and the lyric superiority of these albums here make me who I am. Both Kendrick Lamar and Ab-Soul are two sides of the same coin in my book. I will succeed these two emcee's! Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Rem” This song is an eclectic embodiment of who I am artistically. The beat SLAPS, the metaphors and word play are next level, and the story told here is very personal to my upbringing, soul, and life path. Anyone who enjoys this will get along with me! What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? My whole journey has been memorable. From rapping freestyles on twitter and instagram, to dropping music with legends, I've been fortunate to stand the test of time. What's real will always last, and I will remain humble no matter what I achieve. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
