My homeboy Drevell Herron actually initially got me in the booth.  It all started out as a hobby, just something I enjoyed doing.  Real shit, I just liked hearing myself over a beat, lol.  Over time and after hearing the mainstream music<br \/>\n that&#8217;s currently out, I felt that I could develop and and produce a better quality product.  So gradually, after putting in work day in and day out, I feel that I&#8217;ve found my niche.  What inspires me to make the music I make is just life, my life, and lives of those close to me.<\/p>\n<p><strong> What have you learned on your journey<\/strong>?    1) &#8216;Veterans&#8217; who&#8217;ve been doing<br \/>\n this for a while, will take advantage of a hungry indie artist (financially).  2) If you want something done right, do it yourself.  3) This shit costs an ass load of money and if you&#8217;re a &#8216;nobody&#8217; in this<br \/>\n game, just as I am, you have to be willing to invest!<\/p>\n<p> <strong>How do you prepare for your gig<\/strong>?    A red solo cup (contents undisclosed), and I normally spend an hour or so before performances watching performances of other artists on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Special projects or shout outs<\/strong>?   My EP, &#8220;Simple Dude, Complex<br \/>\n Thoughts&#8221; will be released late winter or early next year. The team that I am apart of, Audible Hustle Entertainment, will also be releasing a mixtape later this year.  Feel free to check out<br \/>\nwww.audiblehustle.com and check out more information regarding me and most of the other artists affiliated with Audible Hustle Entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Sit back and enjoy the newest flavor to hip hop, The Realist!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1GX3CnIthmc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presenting Rodriquez Goldsmith aka Rod McCoy, born in Montgomery Alabama, serving our country and sharing his art.
