Exposed Vocals: So tell us your story. Where did you grow up? What
made you decide to become an artist?

When i was young i lived in Texas but i got adopted at the age
of four. Then i moved to norton ohio this is where i grew up basically
its a small town. What made me become and artist was just because i
grew up thinking about a lot of things and as soon as i started

inspiration behind it?

my homies was talking about names and i said that and they liked it so
i ran with that as well. My inspiration behind it was the fact that it
fit my personality because everywhere i go people remember me. drippy
means to leave a trace or memories of me being there.

Exposed Vocals: What do you think about online music sharing? Do you
ever give your music away for free? Why?

I think online music sharing is an excellent way to spread
your music to the world because really everybody has access to the
internet. If you consider giving away music for free dropping music on
Soundcloud then yes but I’ve never sold mixtapes to people or anything
yet. Why you ask because i want to have someone who can promote it
better than i can.

you handle that?

I’ve preformed in front of about 900 people multiple times.

festival. Preforming in front of people is the easiest thing for me. I
don’t get nervous like that i wouldn’t be doing this if i was scared
to preform in front of people.

Exposed Vocals: Where do you usually gather songwriting inspiration?
What is your usual songwriting process?

I usually gather my songwriting inspirations from what I’ve
exsperienced or what other people have experienced i just go hard and
people like it. I usually wake up around 6 am then start my day by
going outside and walking up and down my street while rapping and
trying to remember my verses without using my phone or i freestyle on
bears i havent heard yet.
