The Great-One (indiepiphany records)
What has influenced me is seeing, young and older rappers and not just rappers but anyone who has the courage to follow what they believe despite what the odds are or what others think. Although not a fan, a perfect example of someone who acts as a good influence is Kanye West, because before he ever recorded on a mic, he made beats. When he tried to make that transition from producer to producer/rapper people told him not to. " You'll never make it as an artist" they told him, "just stick to beats, your beats are good." But, he didn't give up. Instead he worked hard, stayed in the studio and worked on his lyrics and flow until it was great and presentable. Kanye is now one of the most known artists in the rap game's history. It is things like that that inspire me to do the things that i do, and to be so confident in myself because i know that without confidence in yourself, it doesn't matter who believes in you.
