About

I wanted to do this challenge to prove to myself I have what it takes to bring what's in my mind to life. I love rap music but I feel it has become so saturated with the same messages/lyrics to the point where it reflects very negatively on black people. Being African myself, I wanted to get a bit deeper with the messages coming through my music in an attempt to showcase how multi-dimensional rap can really be.

Favourite Moment

My favourite moment was studying other artists and cutting and rearranging each individuals strengths to create my own sound.

Advice

Start as early as you can. Work on it consistently so you can be proud of the final product.
