We caught up with DC-based Ra The MC for a second to talk about her latest project, where she fits into the hip-hop game and her motivation to rap.
What brought you into rap?
I think it was a combination of frustration and inspiration. I always
loved to write because, as an only child, writing was my only outlet
when I was frustrated. I was also a big Fugees fan growing up so
eventually my stories and poems grew into raps.
What’s it take to be an emcee from your town?
Good music, a heavy grind and tough skin. DC is a city full of rappers
and critics – you have to have something that separates you from the
next emcee.

I caught up with Allido Records/Interscope recording artist Wale for a couple of minutes today right after he posted the name of his next release, Attention Deficit, up on Twitter. Wale gave me a few answers to questions I had about the album and explained the reasoning behind the title.
