JproD

Over the course of my life I have realized that life is way to short to not do what you want to do. You should always do what feels right to you, even if people don’t agree or necessarily like it. You have to be you.

It is all about asking yourself , “Could I die tomorrow and be happy with what I did Today?” I feel my music has extreme crossover mainstream potential. I try to write lyrics that relate to anybody in any situation. I try to capture my feelings at that exact moment.

At one time or another, everyone has felt sad, scared, turnt up, angry, forgiving, careless, etc. The music I write literally comes from my soul. You can’t fake the realness that I put into my songs. It wouldn’t feel so genuine.

I like to think I am rare, at least as a hip hop artist. I feel like everyone tries so hard to fit the “Hip Hop” image. That is something I have never done. It is just who I am. I dress the way I dress because it is how I like to dress. It is not because I saw the same outfit in a music video. I talk the way I talk because that is how I express myself. My music is just me documenting how I live. Almost like my biography up to this point in my life.

I believe I have similar traits to not only music greats but also of business greats. I fully understand the business side of music but I am not willing to compromise my art. Money, girls, being thought to be cool, none are my motivations. Granted, it comes with the territory, which is cool but that isn’t why I dedicate my life to my music. My goal is to transcend rap. To make it every race or culture’s favorite music.

One thing that I think separates me from a lot of artists doing it is my ability to adapt. Throughout my life I have been around every culture, I have had conversations with every type of person. The fact that I have favorite rap artists from the west coast, east coast, dirty south, Midwest, really gives me a leg up. It enables me to know how to convey my message to each person from each region.

I pride myself on being original and going against the grain. I embrace how different I am and how different I think. Being different is a small price to pay for being a genius. Einstein never gave a f*** about what anyone had to say about him.
As far as making moves to brand my movement or break songs, I do it the way I want to do it. I don’t care what people tell me I should be doing. I don’t believe in paying people a ridiculous amount of money for promo.

You do not have to worry about that if you make real trill music. People will gravitate towards it. I am not looking to be a one hit wonder or pop off for one summer. I want to be the topic of conversation 10 years down the road. I do not want to be the biggest rapper, I want to be the biggest artist.

I want to be a role model, in the sense that I want people to feel they can achieve their dream. I want people to be comfortable with who they are and not be afraid to be different. Different is trill. Trill is real. Real is respected.
Trill Shit, I really mean that. Yetati.”
