How does your background play into this song?

Answer:

So, I just started making hip hop music 1 month ago. I have written casually on acoustic guitar in the past but went through a huge trauma at the end of 2023. As a coping mechanism, I started writing poems, and they were pretty good. I found Rapchat and started turning them into raps. A week or so later, I started teaching myself how to make beats and splice / re-work samples. I'm a huge 90s/00s hip hop fan (I'm from the ATL) and thought it would be a fun concept to sample some classic bangers. Once I got the beat done, I thought it would relatable to Millennials / Gen X-ers everywhere to make it an ode to the 90s and 00s stars and songs we all loved. I had a blast making this song and am already thinking about other concepts I could do this with.

At this point, I'm just having a blast. I have a good ear for music, melodies, lyrics and just want to make fun and enjoyable songs. That's what's most important - having fun, feeling fulfilled through my art, and making music I'm proud of (and like myself).
