Hanging with Abe ep 10! 

2021! We’re back with a new episode with one of my favorite up and coming rappers, Ricky. Make sure you all remember his name because this is one special kid. He’s only 17 but has already written and produced over 10 tracks. Ricky is a versatile artist whose goal is to make music that people can just vibe with every day on repeat. You can hear the lyrical power that he just pours into all his music. As a rapper, this power that he holds comes from his ability to tell stories through his music, stories about his experiences and those exact emotions he felt at particular moments in his life. At a young age, he has already mastered the art of freestyling learning from his favorite rappers like Juice WRLD. His favorite albums that got him to start his rap career are Kendrick Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d city, and J.Cole’s For Your Eyez Only. His mastery of his craft at such a young age will for sure put him in the level of the greats in the near future. Tune in to hear some of his songs like Pool, Monsae, and my personal favorite, Poor Man’s Dream!

Ricky’s Top 5 Favorite Rappers:

Kendrick Lamar

Andre 3000

Biggie

Big L

Pop Smoke

In episode 7, I have A Manski, a very special artist and friend with me to talk about his process in creating and producing music, the Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion shooting situation, and the difficulty of being black in America and how Hip-Hop is helping shape the rap culture and black visibility. We also talk about A Manski’s biggest music influences and how those rappers helped him in becoming the rapper that he is now. Rapping is a talent that just comes natural to him and it stems from being surrounded by people with like-minded aspirations and energy.
