With the help from a 17 year old artist named Reign

We sat down sparked conversation about:

Old souls with a new flow have a place in music.

How his father and his uncles(DJ Flip, TOD) influenced him to do music because he was in the studio with his father

starting at 6 months.

Reign also talks about how he is sure that music is what he wants to do and how he deals with the pressure of other kids his age

about drug and alcohol intake.

This young man is ahead of his time and confident about what he does and you can hear it in his music and see it in his face when talks about it. It was an interesting conversation

Oh and not to mention... we make him freestyle.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
