Deep Reasoning
I've been writing since I was 17 and hip hop is my real passion although I do love various other types of music also such as Radiohead, Bjork, Imogen Heap, The Prodigy, Daft Punk, Royksopp, Tiesto, S.O.A.D., Q.O.T.S.A. and John Legend.
I love the golden era of hip 88-94/95 the most, this was when the best shit was made in my opinion.

Anything else?
If music isn't fun for you, then stay away cos it means you're doing it for completely the wrong reasons. It should be something that you feel connected with. So try to ignore critics unless their feedback is constructive, as they can deter you from having fun with it, and destroy the brilliance that music creation and music itself provide. Represent yourself, have a laugh but take things serious at the same time, there's only one you so run like that make it work for yourself, call the shots.
