What makes me unique from other rappers? Well, I rap in English and/or Cape
Verdean and sometimes I mix the two to create a unique prospective. I also
write my own lyrics and Produce my own beats. This allows me to create
exactly what I feel inside. In addition I absolutely love Hip Hop.
I use my music to both entertain and to enlighten. For example my single
“White Girl” will make you dance, laugh and think about the horrors of
drugs. White Girl is slang for “Cocaine”. The song White Girl is referring to
cocaine as “White Girl” it’s not making the comparison between a white woman
and cocaine.
Simply, Cocaine is rapped about like it is a girl. Some artists like Nas and
Chamillionaire have written similar songs that refer to “Money” as a girl.
