Well, I've always loved music, especially Hip-hop. So i've been writting for a couple years now and it hasn't been until recently that I've set up my own studio in my room. It's not very professional, but then again i don't have the money to do much better, so take it for what it's worth. I have been making my own beats lately, but a lot of them I have gotten from friends. I ALWAYS write music for myself, and anybody who wants to listen. I never plan on getting a record deal or anything (although it would be nice). I say do it for the love of the music, not for someone else!
