I remember watching it as late as 2005 and getting really drawn to the Hip Hop culture. Soon after, I started jotting down rhymes of my own, which were ridiculous to say the least. But with every rhyme that filled the back page of my college notebook, I excelled. I started making music because of lack of &#8220;cooperative&#8221; &amp; professional beat makers, now I produce beats for all my songs and other budding rappers too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/desihiphop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/10400012_10206147845869222_8067885339613735922_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13690\" src=\"http:\/\/desihiphop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/10400012_10206147845869222_8067885339613735922_n.jpg\" alt=\"10400012_10206147845869222_8067885339613735922_n\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jcsoftwaresolution.com\/desihiphop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/10400012_10206147845869222_8067885339613735922_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/jcsoftwaresolution.com\/desihiphop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/10400012_10206147845869222_8067885339613735922_n-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jcsoftwaresolution.com\/desihiphop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/10400012_10206147845869222_8067885339613735922_n-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Who were your inspirations?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>J.cole,\u00a0Eminem, Lupe Fiasco, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, Dr.Dre, Drake, Lil\u00a0wayne, The Game, Jay-Z.

As\u00a0clich\u00e9\u00a0as it may sound, I live, breathe &amp; think Hip-Hop. I am so drawn to the culture, so influenced that I almost feel like an\u00a0African-American sometimes. I emulate their fashion, their lingo, their lean, all of that. I think in rhymes, if I happen to notice a difficult word somewhere, I start breaking it down &amp; finding different ways to rhyme with it. I cannot imagine life without\u00a0hip-hop and I will do this till the day I die. Not for anybody else but myself.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/desihiphop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/mmv2pO4ubMuQwLQyeNuW5h65exBkicoIj76ZRPv2Alc.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13691\" src=\"http:\/\/desihiphop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/mmv2pO4ubMuQwLQyeNuW5h65exBkicoIj76ZRPv2Alc.jpg\" alt=\"mmv2pO4ubMuQwLQyeNuW5h65exBkicoIj76ZRPv2Alc\" width=\"600\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jcsoftwaresolution.com\/desihiphop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/mmv2pO4ubMuQwLQyeNuW5h65exBkicoIj76ZRPv2Alc.jpg 800w, https:\/\/jcsoftwaresolution.com\/desihiphop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/mmv2pO4ubMuQwLQyeNuW5h65exBkicoIj76ZRPv2Alc-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jcsoftwaresolution.com\/desihiphop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/mmv2pO4ubMuQwLQyeNuW5h65exBkicoIj76ZRPv2Alc-768x479.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Did your family and society support you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well I never told my family about my dreams until the past couple of years. And by then I&#8217;d gotten to a pedestal convincing enough for my family to support me. I remember my dad calling the entire family and his circle of friends when I was on MTV, he was really happy and proud of me. He stills boasts about my accomplishments more than my resume ever could. My mom writes blogs(she&#8217;s an author) about my music, gives me fashion &amp; health tips.
