You rap too?
Anonymous
Rap was something that I pursued actively as a teen… but it kinda got pushed to the back burner as my responsibilities with my graphic design career, and family grew. So, it’s always been a part of me and continues to serve as an outlet.
Although, there have been a few periods where I hadn’t written in years… I’ve always enjoyed freestyling. I still pick up the pen and jot lyrics down on occasion, and have recently recorded verses for two of Wyze Mindz upcoming projects.
I also have an afrobeat/hip hop collaboration with Nigerian reggae artist Kalakuta Mozaik, and two hip hop projects of my own [that will more than likely never be released], the METRO Legendary mixtape, and a solo album tentatively known as Soon Come. Besides that, I’ve been working on promotional materials for great SC artists like Marvolus and E-Val Styles. My partner in rhyme, Mistamone, and I often have talks of resurrecting our childhood group Black Language On Wax (B.L.O.W.). Jack Synister and I have recently joked around about doing a few tracks as Gr.O.M. (Grumpy Old Men).
Lately, I’ve been working with my team to restructure FloLympics so that we can grow it into an elaborate festival celebrating SC’s independent hip hop scene, with focus of the artforms of lyricism, DJing, B-Boying, Spoken Word Poetry, and Graffiti, versus just hosting freestyle battles. We’d also like to establish a non-profit to assist at-risk youth with outlets to express their creativity using these same art forms.
