Hello World, Let me start by saying thanks Ms. Chriss for the opportunity you get a big ”salute” for that. Now let me introduce myself for those who don’t know my name is Darrien ”Young FM” Scott a 19 year old rapper in Columbia Sc by way of Amityville Ny. I have been in this state for about 4 years now and let me start by stating how hard it is to ”make it” so to speak in this state as a rapper.I have been subject to allot of let downs and been ignored by the best of them in this state, lets go in! For example my tenth grade year at Blythewood High ”Lil Ru” & ”Collard Greens” came to my school to talk to the students and ”encourage” them i guess anyway long story short i end up doing a impromptu ten minute 100 bar freestyle both said they loved it i traded number with Ru ”him saying he was gonna do a song with me and basically put me on Head Hunter Records” well i called the number and it was a whole different story he was very cocky (for no reason) and yells out prices ”blah blah blah” long story short i ended up hanging up and calling it a day. i can go on for days with stories like this you cant even imagine how radio play can cause a rapper to think there a better person than others. Here’s another more recent example not too long ago (like last summer) right after ”Lil Brod” dropped the ”Do You Mind” song he dropped ”Runnin My City” me seeing this as a time to get exposure scour the net find the instrumental and record a unofficial remix (inspired by Boss G doing It to ”Mr Taylor’s Shoot The Fuck Up”) well i wrote a verse recorded it and sent it to Nine Mill and waited…and waited… well you get the deal! finally one night they did that Head Hunter TV and i sent it to them DUMB MOVE first off they was all drunk and if it wasn’t a Head Hunter Song they didn’t really give two shits about it(pardon my french) well long story short Brod played it and after the first 2.5 seconds stopped listening and began talking over it not hearing one lyric at the end before he could say ”it was wack” or whatever he was gonna say Collard Green stopped him shouted me out and went back to drinking. Now as i sat and pondered why Brod would not like my song was it because the original song didn’t do as well as “Do You Mind” was it because my verse more lyrical (IMO) or was it because recent radio play had him thinking he was better than a young rapper on the come up i honestly to this day do not no well just a another day in the life of a young ”Karolina South Rapper” These are just two of MANY examples i have here’s another one. One day on twitter i decided to send a tweet to every DJ in the state and ask them to follow a hungry rapper i had to send it to about 50 DJ and outta them 50 djs two count em TWO! djs followed me Dj Phingas And Dj Gogetem i just don’t understand it! i don’t understand how a person like Nine Mill can say they put on for SC but when i message them i get no reply! And A special Shout Out To Charlamenge The God because i asked the man to follow me on twitter and guess what He did! if i send him a tweet even if he sends his trademark ”Pow” back i know he’s paying attention and he gives two shits about the artist in this state! And hes hands down the biggest to ever do anything hip hop related in this state so what does that say about the rest of you??? But yea I’m going to be 100% honest when i say this after living here for as long as i did i kinda understand why Lil Ru did what he did to this state NOTE i said ”kinda” Like allot of fellow younger rappers come up to me in person on myspace twitter etc and say ”how can i get on this rap shit” and you know what i wanna tell them so bad ”move out of this state!” I’m sorry but that’s just how i feel its more to say but ill leave it for another day so long for now and ill leave you with a quote from one of the realest in the state.
