Rain - American Dreamin
Written by Monique B.
Staying true to yourself is a rule that one rapper has learned at a young age. Since he was 14 years old, this North Carolina rapper has talked about his life through the gift of rhyming and sacrificed a lot to be where he is today. His family relocated from North Carolina to seek refuge for his father running from the law. Living the street life was a way of life, not a choice that many people seem to make. Throughout the hardships he endured, Rain sought comfort through music. After realizing high school was a stagnant place for teens seeking growth and advice, a 14 year old Rain left for New York to pursue a career in music full time. While most rappers fabricated concepts and stories in their rhymes, Rain talked about the life he lived in North Carolina which didn’t appease industry movers and shakers in signing him. In New York Rain met Jay-Z and Dame Dash, but failed to comprehend the advice they were giving him about changing the content in his music. Even after meeting one of the greatest rappers to touch the mic, who advised him to alter his style of music, Rain didn’t change at all.
