Here's the Interview: One-On-One with Karahche Lee!

1. How did you come into wanting to become a rapper?

I always loved music and Hip-Hop. But otherwise, me and a couple friends started off just freestyling in the cypher for fun in middle school, and I just hit the ground running from there.

2. What separates your music from other artists? Describe yourself as an artist?

What separates me from other artist, especially now-a-days is my approach to song making. I compose music that satisfies the taste of a wide variety of fans. It's a mix of ignorant or turn up, with actual lyrical content. I would describe myself as a versatile, conceptual artist.

3. What artists do you look up to?

There's so many artist I admire and look up to from all aspects of music. But a couple are, Nas, MF Doom, Wu-Tang Clan, Action Bronson, Curren$y, Starlito, Jonwayne, Charles Hamilton, Pro Era, Dom Kennedy, Dilated Peoples, Blu, Gucci Mane. Just to name a few off the top of my head.

4. Why is pursuing your music important to you?

Pursuing my music is very important to me because it's my God giving talent, my purpose on this earth. My fate is to share this beautiful artform to people from my perspective though.

5. With you being from New york, HipHop has always been BIG there. Did the sound of early hip-hop/rap influence your music in anyway?

Yeah, thanks for noting that lol you guys do your research. But yeah I'm from the Bronx, New York and that definitely influenced my taste in music being that it's the very place hip hop started and all of the important artist to come from that area. I have a special spot in my heart for 90's Hip Hop. Big L, Big Pun, Public Enemy, KRS-1, Brother Ali, De La Soul, to name a couple I remember.

6. What direction you think you're settling for your city music scene?

My direction for my city right now is mainly underground, I don't really make mainstream friendly music. My goal is to become a established underground staple in the game nationwide.

7. What do you think will help your city artists become more mainstream?

Honestly, in my opinion my city is doing good right now. South Florida is carving out a good spot for it self in the music game currently. I see a lot of success in the near future. We got Kodak Black, Denzel Curry, Robb Banks, and then the heavy hitters, like Rick Ross and DJ Khaled.

8. Where can fans find you?
