    I love how much he’s involving the audience in the interview. The way he keeps looking and talking directly to everyone says a lot about Peggy as a person. One of the best artists out right now, IMO. He’s gonna influence A LOT of upcoming acts.

  • @spencerdick8945
    @spencerdick8945 4 ปีที่แล้ว +341

    I lived in Baltimore for one brief year in 2017 and caught Peggy live with maybe 20 ppl at the Crown before Veteran got released without knowing who he was or anything. That's maybe the only time I've ever heard completely new music live and instantly got hooked. there was maybe one other white dude there and JPEG said something joking like: "Idk how these white ppl got in here". It's crazy seeing him go from playing tracks live from his phone to speaking at Cambridge. The music speaks for itself.

    He speaks with such conviction, like he's always known what artistic statement he wants to make from the very beginning. Seriously one of the most talented guys in hip hop right now, a true ONE MAN SHOW. The fact that he taught himself everything from producing to mixing and mastering is seriously incredible, I don't think a lot of people understand how difficult it is to put all of those tasks on yourself. His work ethic is inspiring.
