Speaking of setting a foundation for yourself and understanding where you came from, it's always refreshing to meet others who share the same mentality and positive thinking as you do.
I had the pleasure of sitting down and chopping it up with Boston's up and coming rap artist, Fran P, and discussed the current situation with Boston's urban scene. Whereas most artists and dancers from the area are being outsourced and influenced by the brighter lights of New York City and Los Angeles, it's good to meet those who chose to stay true to their roots and strive into putting their hometown on the map. Sure the path may be strenuous but the positive feedback received in the end are by no means unrewarding.
After sitting for no more than a couple of minutes talking to Fran P, it was easy to see that this man is no ordinary individual, shortly after graduating from college, Fran P could of easily secured a career for himself and lived out his life. But instead, chose the path of a linguist and expresses his creativity to the world through his words and messages he puts out. With having only being in the game for a few years, Fran P is already making a name for himself.
Having both agreed that Boston's scene is rich in culture and diversity, it's often overshadowed by its brother cities. To see people from Boston rooting for other sports teams as well as supporting people from other areas instead of our own, it's just unthinkable.
With the wrong people representing Boston's culture and scene, Fran P, along with other Boston individuals plan on making a change to that.
It was refreshing to know that we both shared the same mindset and outlook on life, it was destined that the two of us were to meet. Look out during the coming months for events and collabs between FunkMeOut! Clothing & Boston's Fran P!
