Let Loose

In recent years, I've developed a newfound respect and appreciation for the craft of writing rap lyrics. Only when I was dragged into writing some myself with a friend, did I realize that it's a really fun but challenging practice. I now believe people should casually spit some rhymes in their everyday life. This is a great exercise for the brain! Luckily, there's this great game on Kickstarter called Vers that can guide anyone into the rap world seamlessly. 

This leads me to write about Brian Imanuel a.k.a. Rich Chigga. He's only 17 and his excitable energy is refreshing to consume. The passion and drive within him is a reminder that anything successful begins with having fun. No pressure, no expectations, no self-criticism. 

In the video (right), he talks about paying homage to trap music and the act of mimicking violent rap lyrics simply because he enjoys it. He has fun with it and magic happens! It's truly inspiring to watch/learn about his process. Enjoy!
