Yes, I come up with all my video concepts myself.
What was it like working with Day Underscore?
Working with Day really set the whole ‘being a rapper’ & really putting in the work in the studio.\ I first reached out to him to for a custom beat & feature. Both Day & his manager Five are like a musical experts. They treated me like family from day one. I still remember when I linked with him at his home studio in blue island. He probably made me redo the same 3-4 bars like 30 times because I didn’t have enough emphasis in my voice. I don’t even know if I would still be making music if I wouldn’t have had that experience with him.
