1. It's looking like a hobby more than a career. Of course I'd like the career but at this point it's unrealistic. And #2 tells why.
2. My biggest challenge relatability and content. I don't smoke, hardly drink, don't do clubs and strip clubs, not into fashion, not a ladies man. I express myself. But my self-expression is damn near unique to me. And I'm not going to switch up.
3. Honestly here.
4. Hell no.
5. Define supportive.

1. Do you rap as a hobby or potential career?
Hard to say. I'm not serious about being an artist as a full time career but I am serious about the message I'm putting out there. Also I'm serious about the actual recording aspect and could see myself owning a commercial studio location full time.
2. What are your biggest challenges as a rapper?
Finding the time to give it the push I want to give it.
3. What publications / sites do you frequent to stay in touch with what happens in the industry?
Not much. I don't care about the industry or what the next guy is doing.
4. Do you have a fan base?
Nothing big enough to brag about. Been on the radio a few times and the music gets recognized often.
5. Are your family/ friends supportive?
Very

1. Do you rap as a hobby or potential career?

Hobby with career potential but only if it's organic.

2. What are your biggest challenges as a rapper?

I think my voice, cadence, and maybe subject matter. You want to have a strong mic presence and some people have that naturally. It is something I have to stay conscious of at all times in my performance. My cadence has been criticized constructively on this forum and I have felt it was valid. my subject matter tends to be more about my personal struggles and point of view which I understand is not always relateable or contemporary.

3. What publications / sites do you frequent to stay in touch with what happens in the industry?

I read this forum a lot. I go all the way back to the Ill Community on allhiphop back in 2004. I figured out early that message boards were the sources lol. The original social media.

4. Do you have a fan base?

I like to think I do though it is primarily friends and family.

5. Are your family/ friends supportive?

I am blessed with overall support from my people. I do not ask much of them but I feel they would back me if asked.
