The songs somehow got a lot of views and people were liking it so I said screw it let me take this a bit more serious. 3. What is the biggest opportunity you have earned/received in music so far? My biggest opportunity was probably the Longlivehshawn x Fajita performance. Before that I was not really sure what I wanted to get out of this music thing but after the show I decided I wanted to really take this music thing seriously 4. How does your music stand out compared to other artists? My music is very unique because of my flow versatility and melody game. I am able to combine my soft voice to hard melodic trap beats. I think I am perfect for today's hi
