XXAE47 Perspective on IF NOT ME, THAN WHO ?
My name is Xae I'm an artist from Queens Nyc , I got by the Rap name XXAE47 ( ZAY FOUR SEVEN )
I make boombap low fi rap music , with allot of metaphors and punchlines , I like to make music that speaks to people and will grow a generational
respect , I feel as though music should represent life and culture so that's what I try to do with my music
Well growing up I always thought to myself , If I didn't do it for myself who would and in life sometimes you'll be the only person to ever hold yourself down or the people around you , so if not me than who ?
My earliest memory of listening to music had to be on Saturdays growing my parents are both Hispanic so music has always been a big part of my life being Dominican and puertorican there's many forms of music that influenced me
I knew I wanted to be an artist in 6 th grade I always wrote raps and rapped in school , I felt in my soul that I was meant to spread my words to the masses through music and it was solidified ever since then
This release plays into a mix of genres actually
most boom bap old school rap , a little alternative mixed in and some lowfi elements
