Today we are looking at Forever Young: a 8-song project by up and coming rapper out of Atlanta, Ga. He goes by the name of Draft and he sat down with us to answer some questions and give us his own take on each of his songs.
RS: What brought you into the rap game?
Draft: Since I can remember I’ve always been interested in music. I remember being 4 or 5 dancing to Kool Mo Dee. I just always felt like I wanted to be heard. Add that with a love of music…an emcee is born.
RS: What aspect of the music do you enjoy most? Do you prefer writing, recording, or performing?
Draft: I love the writing aspect of music. When you write that hot song, [there's] no better feeling [than] when you see everybody react.
RS: ATL is full of people trying to break into this game, what does it take to stand out in Atlanta?
Draft: I think it takes individuality. [What is out there now] is so much of the same thing.
RS: Have you found the hip-hop world to be more collaborative or competitive?
Draft: I mean, its a little of both. I’ve collabed with a few people…but at the same time it is a business.
