Interview – X Slimxo
What do you feel like is one of your biggest accomplishments?
One of my biggest accomplishments would be being able to travel and perform all around the world. I love performing for people no matter where they are from.
Where do you want to see yourself in five years?
I hope to have a family by then. I want to be able to take care of myself financially so I can provide and live comfortably.
What's your favorite place you've visited?
I really enjoyed going to Malaysia last year. I had never been there before so it was really different. The locals were very nice and it was just beautiful scenery that I saw while there.
What inspires you?
My father inspires me because he always tells me that we're blessed and that we should make sure we give back as much as possible to those less fortunate than us.
Interview – Aliyu 1c
1) What is your name?
My name is Aliyu. It means truthful in Arabic.
2) How did you come up with the idea for this song?
I was on my way to a show when I heard one of my favorite songs by Drake and Jay-Z called Somewhere In America. The song talks about how no matter where you are from or what race you are, we all share common experiences. I wanted to make a similar type of song that told our story as African people growing up in the States but also talk about our parents who immigrated here for us and sacrificed everything so that we could have better lives. The only thing missing was an African rapper so I reached out to my friend Young Kiddo who is originally from Nigeria but now lives here too.
Interview – Youngkiddo
I'm a young rapper from New Orleans. I've been rapping for about 4 years now and I love it. My favorite part about it is just being able to express myself and talk about what's going on in my life. It's always been my dream to be able to share my experiences through music and make people feel something so they can relate to me. That's what I do; I make people feel something. If you're feeling sad I'll try to put you in a happy mood or if you're feeling low, I'll tell you that everything will be alright. You don't have to keep going by yourself because we are here for each other and no matter how rough things get we have each other's back.
