Starving artists

Let's be real, being a starving artist is tough. It takes grit, determination, and a whole lot of hustle to make it in any creative field, but especially in hip-hop where competition is fierce. But for those who truly love the art form, it's all worth it.

For hip-hop artists, being a starving artist means sacrificing everything for the chance to follow your dreams and make it big. It means putting in long hours in the studio perfecting your craft, while also working long hours at a day job just to make ends meet. It means performing at shows for little pay, or sometimes for free, in the hopes of getting recognized and gaining a bigger fan base.

But you know what? Despite the challenges, these artists keep grinding. They create music that speaks to their experiences and resonates with fans all over the world. They mix their own unique styles with the influences of those who came before them, creating a rich tapestry of sound that represents the diversity of hip-hop.

And let's not forget the entrepreneurial spirit that drives so many hip-hop artists. From forming their own independent labels to securing collaborations with major brands, these artists are not just musicians, but savvy businesspeople who know how to hustle and make things happen.

So to all the starving artists out there, keep going. Keep grinding. Keep creating. Hip-hop is a culture that celebrates authenticity, hard work, and dedication, and there's always room for those who are willing to put in the work. Your struggles now will only make your success that much sweeter in the end.

I rap because it’s fun and a lot of random strangers think my music is cool.
