What track of yours do you think you should go down in history for and why?
I think the track (Cage) I just released probably has the best message of all the track’s I’ve planned and have released. It addresses the flaws in the high school system which doesn’t necessarily support creatives or ‘out of the box’ thinkers. I think we would see people succeed more or at least quicker had the schooling system not failed to see potential in areas outside the syllabus.
How do you think you approach Hip Hop differently as a White rapper?
As a white rapper I rap what I know and that usually is mental and emotional struggle, I have written and have planned conscious rap but that’s a thin line between profiting off someone else’s loss and fixing the problem. I think I will try to address issues later on when I’m more experienced and frankly more mature.
Do you think you have a different set of responsibilities and a different level of accountability because of your race?
I think white rappers definitely have a higher level of accountability and different set of responsibilities, Hip-Hop was birthed out of oppression and once the genre hit mainstream it was adapted and made into various different forms but personally I think that the people with the true claim to the genre are people suffering from oppression and that by default does not fall to white men in particular as issues of prejudice do not hit us. So by taking up this artform I believe that I have to remember it’s roots and tread carefully to not fall into the trap of cultural appropriation, i.e. Rapping about things that affect me, understanding that there will be resistance to my existence and supporting people who need it.
How did you get your start rapping?
I used to write short pieces of literature and wanted to be a novelist/comic book writer (still do) and when I properly discovered Hip-Hop at 18 I started to see an overlap between what I was writing and what they were saying so I decided to attempt to shorten and make it more rhythmical which is still a task I am yet to fully perform.
What can we expect from your next project Life Of The Party?
A lot of honesty and teenage angst, the project is supposed to represent my late years of high school and the events and emotions that came with that. The projects I am releasing this year aren’t always going to paint me in the brightest light but they will be honest to who I am and who I was.
