YNW Bucks, a rapper born in Brooklyn, NY. As a child, my mother moved us to Durham, NC. Later on, moving to Washington, NC; where Trappin’ made IT Happen.
He loves music because it is the poetry behind self expression. Music is a healer. The food that feeds his soul. All souls really. Growing up with similar household situations and demographics many of “Us” have been faced with, he needed an energy source. For him, that was and still is music. Many are taught to hide our expressions, esp. men. Music became his voice. The outside view of who he is. The words he wasn’t able to express in his household or the emotion he felt when he was neglected. The art of him, “YNW Bucks.” Truly, the one thing he is good at.
YNW Bucks feels as an artist, he stands out because he is willing to explore various genres of music & fashion. He is not a great singer but he has attempted R&B, created some Country & Blues hits, and Reggae; even Rock’n Roll. He not afraid to step outside the comfort of what Rappers can and should do in music. As far as he is concerned, if it’s real then he can speak on it. Again, poetry. Giving the people what needs to be heard without the limitations of what is actually possible. “I am a creative talent!”
In 5 years he hopes to accomplish visibility. Continually working on his story. Exposure to the listeners who hear him. The people who support his progression. Success is a mindset. As long as he is doing what he loves, handling his responsibilities, and feeding souls through music – he is moving in the right direction. The hustle is never-ending. To hustle and remain humble. Five years from now he hopes to be seen, heard, felt. Alive.
In life he wants to accomplish real fame. “Peace in doing what soothes me and my listeners”. A legacy left behind to always follow your dreams. The greatest accomplishment is trying. Making that move to either fall or stand. He wants everyone to know that he was fearless. Continuously working on his art; myself as an entertainer. “Mind over matters.”
When it comes to the music world, he feels that he honestly brings “Real World Struggle.” Many of us bring real life situations. The struggles are the reasons behind the music. But, he brings the willingness to explore. Explore various genres; music for All. If he knew an Opera singer, he states “I’d put her on a track”. He just loves music. And, I want the WORLD to hear his music, his heart, his pain. He wants the listeners to see & hear ME.
He wants to be remembered most for being “Fearless.” An artist without fear of rejection or disappointment. Even without fame he will continue to work and do what he loves. That is music. His fans and those who know him will remember, “I’m the rapper who can rap and/or sing about anything.”
To my biggest fans – my sister, Ms. GMack, and my lil cousin, Big ReeRee. I love y’all!
