I mean, there are easier ways to make money, cuz music is hard to do, and especially be liked by enough people to keep making money for years.
What would you do to succeed in music?

Commitment.. HA..
Since mid 04, I have written every single day, usually 2 tracks a day, I work on my lyricism so often that right now my rhyming skills exceed most underground rappers. I rap almost every single time I go out, my friends get pissed at me sometimes cause music and rap is mostly all I talk about.. I've studied careers of highly successful music artists from rap to rock to heavy metal, I also write both rap and rock lyrics, rap & sing and write poetry.
I aspire to be the greatest in Australian hip hop that ever lived. Saying I got dedication and commitment are understatements.
But rap isnt all I work on.. Philosophy is a big subject in my life. I've dedicated plenty of time to the study of religion, the mechanics of the universe, creation theorys etc etc etc.. And I have decyphered things such as the meaning of life, what god is, why religion is how it is and its importance in modern society AND the future.
Music and philosophy IS my life.
I'm not your average rap artist, in that I dont just bumble around with a few verses over loops.. I make full blown music and I have a message that I convey through my music and through my speech. I have ambition to fulfil extremily large goals but I am an artist.
My influences include names like Tupac, Leonado Da Vinci, Freddy Murcury, Eminem and so many more I aint gonna sit here for ages listing them.
Hip hop defines my existance brutha man and its only natural that music will be my career. I got a destiny.
And yes I am 10x's better at lyric writing than Kanye West.
