Alot of people have told me : "you switch your style up to much . you dont have consistency . etc etc." .
And to myself i think . . why should i have consistency .?
Im not a rapper . I never wanted to be one . I am an ARTIST . A MUSICIAN . i dont shackle and categorization myself down to one single genre , because thats not all i do . My primary thing is rapping , but as an artist i tend to branch out and experiment . try different things . its only right .
On another note it seems to be alot of "rappers" approaching the music thing now . I look at people , and listen to their music , even talk to them . Most of these people arent really doing it cause its what the wanna do . . they just do it for fun . sure there isnt anything wrong with that . . but its becoming a trend . everyone wants to be a rapper . everyone wants to drop a mixtape . I do this , because its what im passionate about .Not because its "cool" . If every person i know quit making music right now , i'd still be doing it . To me , music is an outlet . some people paint , some people skate , this is what i choose to do .
I feel as if music as a whole can be split into two halves . There's the music people hear , that doesnt really do anything or serve a purpose . its just there . . to get people hype or whatever . Then theres the music that has meaning . Music that has messages behind it . . that has purpose and can evoke emotions . I prefer the latter .
Sure i appreciate the fans and make stuff they wanna hear . . but at the same time i make it for me . and people like me . i hope to make songs people can relate to , and that can spread general messages about life and society . People who can relate , and can see that , will appreciate it .
But some wont understand . And those are the ones who will be left in the dark .
"Blank Music / Smooth Tunes" : My First outlet . . coming late summer .
