Before we delve into the nitty-gritty, it’s essential we’re on the same page about what it truly means to be a professional, full-time rapper.
It’s not what you might think. Let’s debunk some myths, ok?
Emblazoning your name on the global stage, or topping the Billboard charts, isn’t the crux of it.
No, that’s not the yardstick.
The real mark of a professional rapper is more humble yet profound: you can provide for yourself and perhaps your family, solely off your rhymes and rhythms.
That clarity is crucial. Why? Because realizing your dream of being a full-time rapper is absolutely within your reach.
Let me paint you a picture from my life.
I’ve traveled the world, stamping my passport in over 15 countries, and traversed from coast to coast in the U.S., all on the wings of my rap career.
Yet, despite these globe-trotting adventures, I’ve never achieved that ‘clout’ - you know, the Billboard charting hit - that your average Joe might associate with a ‘real’ rapper.
For me, one of the most challenging hurdles was becoming at ease with the perks of being a full-time artist - minus the ego boost of fame or clout that comes packaged with household-name rappers.
It’s an intriguing, almost paradoxical situation to find oneself in. Imagine it: you’re right there, in the thick of it all, living and breathing the vibrant, exhilarating life of a full-time rapper.
The thrill of the mic, the resonance of the beats, the liberation that comes from following your passion - it’s all yours.
Yet, in this thrilling reality, there’s a disconcerting void. The public recognition, the ‘clout’, the fame that often validates an artist in the eyes of the world, might be missing.
“Hey, why haven’t I heard of you?” Brace yourself to face this question regularly on your journey to becoming a full-time artist unless, of course, you’re already basking in the glow of heavyweight clout.
This is where pride might rear its head, attempting to steer you off course.
But your task is to swallow it, eyes fixated firmly on the road ahead, steering your path towards a full-time rap career.
Let’s peel back the layers of this industry reality. A significant number of people tend to appraise rap artists by their ‘buzz’.
The greater the hype, the more credible the artist seems to the masses. It’s a widely held perception that if someone’s heard your name, they believe you’re either dripping with raw talent or you’ve mastered the tactics to monetize this rap game effectively.
Let me give you a secret, a little nugget of wisdom that could be your springboard to a full-time music career, regardless of whether the industry gatekeepers acknowledge your talent.
That secret? It’s becoming a master at the craft of writing songs, not just any songs, but tunes that influential individuals or businesses find irresistible and profitable.
For more than two years, my own journey has taken me across the globe, living the life of a full-time rapper, fueled largely by the music I’ve crafted for businesses.
They were eager to tap into the pulsating heart of the Hip-Hop audience, and I was their conduit, using the universal language of music.
But here’s where the plot takes a slight twist. The music you create for these ventures may not be a reflective pool of your personal experiences. Instead, it’s a melodic echo of their brand narratives, tailored to their specific needs. Yet, the trade-off can be unexpectedly rewarding.

One day I’ll invite this man to my show and give him his flower for changing my life. 5 years ago I had no idea about rap or song writing now I’m up like I was born for it.
Trust me. Youll know when youre a rapper when you feel you found your purpose. At that point NOTHING will stop you. Cause you know its apart of your soul
Thanks for this, We also need a video about dealing with hate.
Nothing to do about it big homie. Don’t let it get to you🙏🏻 they’re toxic and acknowledging them just gives them What they Want.. Attention. Let your fruits show what kind of Tree you are homie
Honestly, learn to differentiate the kinds of "hate" there is. Because there's actual hate and then there is criticism, you can't just say every negative or semi negative comment is hate because that's just not true. Some stuff may sound negative but you might have to listen to it, like critiques about your flow, or beats, or singing and whatnot. Then you got other comments like "you're trash and you'll never make it" which is actual ignorant, no feedback giving hate. Learn to differentiate both and take in what can make you better and what doesn't throw it away.

@@jeanfredperez1631 got it. 🙏🏾
I think once you know that even your favorite rappers have haters it gets a lot easier to deal with. especially back when they first started rapping, there were people telling them "you won't make it, you're not good enough. you're not this, you're not that. blah blah blah." and guess what? they made it and you can too. just keep your head up and don't let the hate get to you. they'll all be singing a different tune once you make it. good luck! 🍀🤞🍀
Thanks Big Homie; I finished my demo album on February and you helped me a lot with this channel. As a Puertorican who is alienated from mainland society man I love to have homies like you that have knowledge bombs✌🏻(spanglish is my thing)
Thank you so much for this you're the first person that literally helped me to realize that you do not need mainstream clout wise success to be considered a successful rapper N to be able to do it full-time and make a a living. #GOALS 🎉✈️
Good video, I like a lot of the things you talk about Drew, I sent one of my songs via a platform called Groover to somebody in France and he said this is 'true Hip-Hop', it made me feel good because I put my heart and soul into this thing. You said something like 'touching others lives' yessir for me it is definitely about that. I've been watching your videos for a long time homie, keep it up. Peace.
I hope everyone here becomes successful and reaches there goals to at least make it a lucrative business
I live the 24/7 rap life. Thank You Homie for this channel.🤍 really feel like Eminem when he was raising his baby after winning custody. (I won custody too) still celebrating lmao🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Should I become a full time rapper?
Hello, any mentors for songwriting and rapping, or producers that are in the Burbank or Los Angeles County or just California areas? I live in SoCal.
What's this guy's Spotify pleassssse
India also have lots of talented rappers like Emiway,divine, kr$na so please make video on indian rappers ❤️
If I was sniffing "Coca-Cola" right as I type this, would that effect my talents or choices when I give a thumb up on this video? I was planning on giving the thumb up in a matter of seconds.
Why does this video only have 350 views?
Because it was just uploaded when you viewed it 😅 youtube doesn't always update view count in real time.
If you care more bout the clout and not just do it because it's your therapy, tell your story, etc. Might as well stop before you begin
