What’s one reason you are passionate about music and what inspires you?
Hk20dRichJay, H19dRichNard are inspired by being in the studio and just playing around in the studio, trying to find new flows that nobody’s tried before, so nobody’s sounding like them. They got different flows, but they all sound like themselves. We don’t want to be like everybody else, where they have one flow and keep rapping the same way on every beat. So then n—-s get to saying, “All their s–t sounds the same.” We never wanted to be like them. Like I said, We be having like six different flows. So we just start rapping to whichever one we feeling, and bop to that bitch. If we feel like that’s the flow we should go with, we going with it.
