Music has been critically important towards my work and life in general. Hip-hop has gotten me through the toughest times in my life, specifically because of the stories I could relate to when there was no one I could go to or talk to about the things I was facing. I chose to specifically focus on rappers from the west coast because they are who I resonate with the most. While rappers from other places like New York focus on boasting about what they have or what they can buy, west coast rappers tend to mostly speak on tough times and life in the ghetto.
