"the come up..."

We all know somebody trying to come up in the music industry today. There are A LOT of people trying to mountain climb their way to the top but not everybody is going to make it. Of course, I respect everyone's grind but the fact of the matter is, as well as in any other field, not everybody is good enough to be great. Nowadays, if you want to "make it" in the music industry, you cannot just do you (sadly). You have to worry about what the audience wants to hear. $$$. That's why everyone's good music comes out before they are famous. Because after, for a lot of rappers, it becomes about whats gonna make the most money. When I listen to a up and coming artists songs, I rate them upon 1. their style/flow/voice 2. their lyrics 3. and if it is actually something I would put on my ipod. I think having the right voice is crucial. If your lyrics are great but you cant deliver them, whats the point?  For example: Meet, filipino born, Kixxie Siete out of Hawthorne, California. I think he has that voice/sound.

Do you guys know what "sound" I'm talking about? Its not easy to find. Sometimes I come across peoples music and I'm just like "Whhhhhhy???". But you gotta respect their grind, you know? This blog probably sucks but nobody hates me for it...I think.
