It’s very rare to find an artist completely in control of their own destiny, but underground rapper Mk. outta Louisiana is making it happen. Combining the freedom of being unsigned with the marketing and production level of a major label with his own network that works to bring him and fellow artists into the spotlight, he’s been releasing banger after banger and shows no signs of stopping. His fans love him for his authenticity - every bar is straight from his real life, and he never brags or flexes about things he hasn’t actually done/earned. You’ll see his straightforward and legit personality throughout the interview, and down at the bottom we have an in-browser player so you can check out is recent single.
(Everything below is directly quoted from our interview with Mk.).
How do you feel you’ve changed the game? What impact have you had?
I have changed the game by being a independent artist who invested into knowledge and built thousands of connections and helped hundreds of artist straight out the gate while still being an upcoming artist earning respect for mainly the knowledge I provide and showing artist hard work gets you far even when I was going hungry and didn't have any money.
What is a valuable lesson young artists need to learn?
Learn how to not get caught up in ignorant story post or industry related bullshit. Growth is key keep growing and you will feel like you on top of the world. Don't worry about what people think and help as many people as you can and support even if you nobody major it comes a long way.
What’s the most fun part of making music for you? Least fun?
Most fun I mean I can really write 10 songs in one day but I like how so many relate or here my life and story. Least I hate the ignorance from people who don't work as hard as me.
What’s the message behind your music?
My message is explaining deeper into my life and emotions and events nobody know about not even folks who know me because I never really had nobody to speak to I was always alone but well known.
Is there a specific vibe or emotion you try to craft on each project?
Not really im a artist who writes songs based off what's going on currently and the past in my life so really just depends how im feeling I got a lot of feelings.
What projects are you currently working on?
March 22nd "This forever" album Dropping 10-20 songs, no features all me so that's gonna be major and ‘What it seem’ my recent single doing numbers On SoundCloud 15k+ and Youtube 22k first month.
