“ There is no destination worth reaching if it doesn’t have a few challenges. My challenges have mostly been exposure related. I didn’t know how to market myself in the beginning.”

A. My name is Flawless and I’m from

Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

Q. What motivated you to be a rapper?

A. There are a few people, as well as ideas, that serve as my motivation to become a rapper.

Lil Wayne, Ludacris, Biggie,

Jay-Z, and Kanye West have all been major influences on me. I also wanted to become a rapper because I have a lot to say to the people. I’ve learned a lot of lessons in life that I want to pass on to others in a way that’ll be best received. I also want to tell my stories to express myself, and let the people know that there are others that can relate to their situations. Ultimately, I am motivated to be a rapper to create change and invoke thought, while making music that is aesthetically pleasing to listen to.

Q. Tell us about your single

“Pimpin Ain’t Easy” and why you choose that song to be your single?

A. Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy is a song about doing your own thing and no one being able to do what you do.

The term Pimpin’ Ain’t Easy, in this context, is a metaphor that means, “what I do is harder than it looks.” I chose this as the single

because, not only is the meaning of the song empowering, it is extremely catchy as well. Make sure to check it out its available now on all platforms.

Q. Who is some artist you would want to collab with?

A. In 2018, I actually wrote down a list of artists that I want to work with. They say if you write something down, it becomes real.

That list of artists included Lil

Wayne, Drake, Jay-Z, Beyoncé,

Kendrick Lamar, 6LACK, and a few more. I enjoy artists that put real time into their craft.

Q. What are some challenges you have had being a Rapper?

A. There is no destination worth reaching if it doesn’t have a few challenges. My challenges have mostly been exposure related. I didn’t know how to market myself in the beginning. The music I was making was better than the promotion I was doing for myself.

What good is good music if no one hears it? Although I’m better than I was to start off, I still have so much room to grow in that department.

Q. If you can go anywhere in the world where would you go? A. I’m one of the few people that has probably been to more countries than I have states. I’ve been to

England, France, Australia, the

Bahamas, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and a lot more. The place I really want to go next is Japan. I love how forward thinking the major cities seem to be, and I want to experience the fashion culture over there up close and personal.

Q. Are you working on any new projects right now?

A. I just finished recording for my new project Life Is Flawless. I am looking to release it mid-

October. I’m also working on a collaboration project with an artist from New York and another from Tampa, Froze and Nyze. That joint venture is looking to release early in 2021.

Q. Where do you see yourself in the next 3 years?

A. In the next 3 years, I see myself working with the artists that I have on my collaboration list.

I wrote down everything that I plan to accomplish, so they’ll happen in due time. Right now,

I just have to continually put in work to continue to grow as an artist. Things always fall into place the way they’re supposed to.

Q. What is one fun fact about yourself?

A. Listing fun facts about myself is always funny because it causes me to be introspective about myself in the moment. My fun fact is that I love playing thinking games like chess and connect 4. I’ve probably played connect 4, literally 1000 times in 2020, and I may have lost 7 total games. Anything or anyone that causes me to really think has my attention.
