How did you get to where you are today, professionally?
In November of 2020, I was really bored because of the Covid lockdown, so I decided to make a list of my top 100 hip-hop songs of all time. I then decided to make the list into a series of TikToks, because I had seen a couple other creators doing similar things. My music taste has changed a lot since making that list, and my followers will often make fun of some of the opinions I used to have, but it was one of the most important things I’ve done in my life, because it eventually led to me creating a community full of hip-hop fans like myself.
