Once my pops jumped behind me as a manager and started to show me full support I started to pursue it as a career because I know how serious the music game is to him. 

Music's Week: Can you tell us about your songwriting process? How do you come up with ideas, and what inspires your lyrics?

When I'm writing I just let the beat take me somewhere and where ever it takes me I let my creative thoughts do the rest. How do you come up with ideas, When I come up with ideas it's from real life experiences or from something I've seen before other than that I just be rhyming and writing what comes to my head. and what inspires your lyrics? When I'm listening to other artists it makes me see their success and realize we are very similar so I think to my self if they can do it I can too. 

Music's Week: What do you think sets your music apart from others in your genre?

FP Relly: My music is my voice and your voice is everything i don't think nobody sounds like me or have my sound so that's what sets my music apart first because it's only one FP Relly I also talk about money and everyone not living how I live so if you not making a lot of money or living like me you most likely wouldn't be rapping about it like me. 

Music's Week: Who are some of your biggest musical influences, and how have they impacted your sound?

FP Relly: My favorite artist is Lil Durk I used to listen to him before I listened to any other music on my own my pops gave me his cd along time ago because I had a radio but nothing to play in it. All I used to listen to was Lil Durk.

It wasn't easy for me to make it out at all I been through a lot of situations only god could get you out of but I'm still here. That's what inspired me to create my last tape called perseverance because no matter what I continue to get over all of my obstacles that come my way.

Mhmmm I would say still moving forward after feeling like it's all for nothing and losing a of of important tools or pieces such as people, music, and other things I've worked hard on to get or w.e may be the situation but basically I'm saying the challenge is still pushing knowing that you feel like giving up. I overcome them by just believing in god, praying, having a good spirit and keeping my energy and hopes high and knowing I will get through what ever it is I'm going through at the time. I also smoke weed and get high to get through those times. 

Music's Week: How do you stay inspired and motivated to continue creating music? Do you have any specific habits or routines that help keep your creative juices flowing?

But me steady constantly seeing progress in different ways from were I've started is what motivates me to keep going. And also when people tells me what they see or how much progress they have seen. Do you have any specific habits or routines that help keep your creative juices flowing? No I don't I just make sure I am high I wouldn't say it's a habbit Is a must that I am high it's when I'm at my best so I can get into my thoughts and get creative.
