REP'S INTERVIEW WITH STH
STH: Please tell us your name and how you came about this name.
I go by ReP, its stands for Representin’ Extraordinary Poetry... I actually got this nickname from some of my friends that I started out rapping with. They probably called me that because I was always known to represent something.
STH: Where are you from?
I hail from Brooklyn, so I’m a New York head but I did spend a lot of my life in Florida also, so I’m a little of a mix.
STH: What influenced your decision to become an artist?
I’ve always been creative and I’m an Aquarius so I think it comes natural for me to create. I will say this, my surroundings and friends enhanced the inspiration to do this.
STH: Who are some of your musical influences?
I’m a big fan of the great music period but I like Outkast, Kanye, Jayz, Nas, T.I., Lupe Fiasco, De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, The Killers and ColdPlay....Shoutout to Gregory Porter he’s dope also!
STH: How long have you been pursuing your dream of music?
I started rapping maybe in the 6th grade or a lil bit earlier. I was just having fun but when I got into high school I started taking it serious because people started taking me serious. It’s now 2012. That’s a hell of a long time so I’d say it’s been at least seven years that I’ve been pursuing this dream.
STH: What are some of the challenges that you face in the business?
I don’t have challenges...nah, I’m lying (haha). I’d say it’s trying to be consistent because the game is over saturated with a mix of everybody but that's what makes being ReP great cause I can stand out more.
STH: How do you overcome those challenges?
I always speak with confidence during my interviews. In life, when you overcome obstacles, you first have to have the confidence to do it. As a result, my outlook on all challenges is, approach with confidence and of course always work to get better.
STH: What are you currently working on?
Right now I’m working on a mixtape with Dj TwoFive which is called “Just To Get A ReP”. It consists of unreleased & throwback material but the concept is dope. I’m also about to wrap up my album titled “Dare To Fly” which is also a dope ass concept within itself.
