⁣ 🎉😢🙏🏾: Growing up, I read every issue of @vibemagazine. For decades, VIBE has been such a pillar of Hip Hop. The AUTHORITY of the culture, thanks to luminaries like @datwon, who give Black voices and artists the platforms that they deserve. Everything about my life, my voice as an MC, my upbringing is Hip Hop.⁣ ⁣ 🇹🇹As a young Trini kid, growing up in Southeast SD, rapping and recording in bedroom closets, never in a million years could I ever have dreamt up being honored as one of @vibemagazine’s Voices Of The Year, on the cover of such a legendary publication. 🙏🏾⁣ ⁣ 🤍 As I count down to the release of my first book, @blackinterneteffect and new music, I’m beyond honored to have my work seen and celebrated by VIBE and @shemedia, alongside some incredible industry-shifting Black women. Thank you @adellirium for using your voice to shed light on Black womens’ stories.⁣ ⁣ 🎉Please hit the link in bio to read the piece. Thank you @vibemagazine family @eboseta @datwon. FOREVER HONORED. FOREVER GRATEFUL.
