Wowwwwww 🔥🤯🥶 I made it!!! To even be considered for “Chicago Artists To Watch 2026” by @whatsthewordtv is a reminder that when you stay consistent and obedient to your vision… people eventually notice. 🙏🏾🔥 brooooo as a shorty i use to always look at magazines and check out the rising artist page. now look at me❗️ nominated to become one! Man i love hip hop! i'm the type to read the credits! i'm so blessed to be able to live in & off my purpose! nothing is more satisfying.

• Built my nonprofit Obey Your Dreams Academy

• Created “Rhymes & Real Talk” a program where youth get PAID to learn the history of Hip Hop while gaining opportunities, exposure, mentorship, and access to new people, places, and experiences

• Shared my spotlight with so many incredible artists across the city because Chicago wins when WE win

And the craziest part?
