Deep dives
Working with the Avalanches and MF DOOM
When working with the Avalanches on their album 'Wildflower' and featuring on the song 'Frankie Sinatra', I felt that the collaboration was special and that the music would resonate with listeners. Additionally, being a big fan of MF DOOM, I found inspiration from his unique style and incorporated elements of it into my own music. I admire his ability to create themed albums and his skillful beat-making.
Dealing with Cliques in the Music Industry
It is unfortunate that some artists and communities in the music industry tend to click up and shun others who aren't part of their circle. This is not unique to Cincinnati and is a common issue wherever you go. I advise focusing on your own craft and not getting caught up in the politics. Being a likable person and having good relationships in the industry can go a long way. It is important to stay positive, work hard, and let your talent speak for itself.
The Evolution of Making Music
The process of making music has evolved over time, and today, it is much easier to create music using digital tools and access to a wide range of sounds and instruments. However, it is important to remember that talent and skill still play a significant role. It is not just about having access to the tools but also having the creative vision and ability to craft unique and captivating music. Taking inspiration from various genres and artists can help foster creativity and push boundaries in your own work.
The Impact of Adderall on Music Creation
During my Adderall days, I would experience bursts of creativity and productivity, often spending hours writing and working on music. However, it is important to recognize that substance use should not be a crutch or relied upon as a source of inspiration. It is best to find a healthy and sustainable approach to creativity and music-making without the need for external substances.
The Importance of Finding Your Rap Voice
Finding your rap voice is crucial for artists. Experimenting with different styles and techniques, like Eminem and Lil Wayne, can help in developing a unique sound. It's essential for the voice to match the lyrical content, creating a cohesive artistic expression. Juice WRLD is praised as a rapper with a fire voice, while also showcasing impressive freestyle skills. Understanding your purpose in rap and finding your voice adds depth and meaning to your music.
The Intriguing World of Horoscopes and Aliens
The world of horoscopes has a longstanding existence and carries a level of mystery and intrigue. While some view it as mere entertainment, others believe it holds a degree of truth, especially when analyzing how astrological alignments can influence connections between individuals. On the topic of aliens, there are mixed opinions. The existence of extraterrestrial life and encounters with unidentified flying objects (UFOs) captivate people's imaginations. While some dismiss these occurrences, others see them as signs of something greater, potentially opening up doors to a new understanding of the universe.
