Welcome to BuzzMusic Volatile Shae. Props to your latest banger with "Different." What inspired you to write "Different," and how did your experiences growing up influence the lyrics and message of the song?
Thank you. The main thing that inspired me to write "DIFFERENT" was that I kept seeing and hearing the same sound, attitude, personality, and style. Nobody had any unique quality to them or any real type of lyrical skill, and it frustrates me because I put a lot of time and effort into my music. This wasn't a decision I just woke up one day and decided to make. I've been working towards this pretty much my whole life. Music and writing were my only outlets growing up. So music means a lot to me, and I take it very seriously. This is what I want to do with my life, and the people I'm seeing, to me, are like the kids that trace a picture and hold it up saying, "look what I made," like you didn't make shit and there are so many of them that it makes it harder for real artists to shine through all the gunk.
The line "Rap is my superpower, I will defeat all you cowards" in the song suggests that you view rap as a powerful tool for self-expression and empowerment. Can you elaborate on how you see rap music contributing to social change?
I believe that writing and music are extremely powerful no matter what form. Whether through rap, pop, rock or just a book. It's all about your connection with that song or piece of literature. What you derive from it and how it influences you. That matters, but it's all based on your experiences and the factors that have influenced you. I could make a song about creating a secular humanist society, but that doesn't mean it will make a difference. People need to be willing to accept change and growth; it can't be forced.
In the second verse of "Different," you reference wanting to reach the top charts but suggest it's difficult without compromising your authenticity. How important is staying true to your artistic vision, and how do you balance commercial success with creative integrity?
It's very important for me to stay true to myself and who I am. Because this music is like therapy to me, I'm not making music to make music. This is how I express myself. If I sacrifice any part of my creative freedom, then I've sacrificed part of myself, and the last thing I want to do is become another puppet of the music industry. I'll continue writing and creating music even if I don't make a dime.
You're not only a rapper but also a music producer. How does your experience producing music affect your approach to creating lyrics and composing songs?
Sometimes it can be challenging to create an instrumental because I'm mostly a lyricist. I've only been producing for a couple of years. So my mind gets distracted and wants to focus on the lyrical aspect rather than the producing one.
Your song "Different" lyrics suggest you take inspiration from various hip-hop artists. Who would you say has impacted your style most, and why?
The person with the biggest impact on my style, hands down, would have to be Eminem. I've been listening to his music since I was in elementary school. His music connected with me in a big way. I experienced and went through many similar situations as he did, and through him, I became influenced by various other rappers.
In "Different," you mention the difficulty of reaching the top charts in the music industry. How do you measure success as an artist, and what goals do you hope to achieve with your music in the future?
I believe success as an artist is connecting people to your art and reaching as many people as you can, and that's exactly what I want to do. My goal is to be regarded as one of my generation's top lyricists and earn my peers' respect.
