OTR/@AtticaLundy – What are some of your other talents aside from rapping? Do you sing?
Jaiimoni Starr – I’m a writer. I write music, sure, but also poetry. When I originally got into music, I sang a little…and I’m interested in it but would want to have some vocal coaching. I get asked if I sing quite a bit, However, I’m a natural rapper and that’s my primary focus.
