Today, we’re going to highlight the three hardest parts of being a full-time rapper.
I believe this article will be both an inspiration and a useful information piece for anybody who’s interested in pursuing a full-time career in the music industry…
Especially when it relates to Hip-Hop as their main source of income.
Additionally, if you are an artist who is already making a little bit of money from rap but would like to transition to full-time…
This will help be a guide for future trials and tribulations to look out for as you pursue your dreams.

Full-Time Rapper Choices Overview
Before we start, let’s clarify what it means to be a full-time rapper by saying what it doesn’t mean:
It does NOT mean you have to be globally famous or have a Billboard charting hit.
It means that you are able to support yourself (and/or your family) full-time as a rap artist.
The reason we need to make this distinction is because being a full-time rapper is a totally achievable goal for you if that is your desire, but you may have to sacrifice the dream of only doing it full-time IF you have a hit or are famous.
While a lot of up-and-coming artists say they’d just be happy to only do music full-time, they take a lot of actions that say otherwise…
Such as poorly managing their time to chase an “industry” connect, only making music they think will chart, and many other things we’ll discuss today.
#1) Managing Your Time Based On Lifestyle and Not Clout
As somebody who has successfully travelled around the world as a full-time rap artist, visiting over 15 countries and seeing both coasts of the U.S. from my music…
But never having some of the “clout” that your average person on the street feels you need to call yourself a real “rapper” such as a Billboard charting hit…
One of the hardest leaps for me to make was to be comfortable with gaining the “perks” of a full-time artist…
Without the ego boost of “fame” or “clout” that comes from big name rappers.
So, for example… there are many rappers whose names you’d be familiar with who have never left the country due to their music.
There are many reasons for this whether that be legal issues or their music is not big enough overseas…
But regardless they’ve never done it. Now, on one hand, because I was able to go on a world tour, I should feel like I’m more “successful” than them, or have had a “better career”.
On the OTHER hand, because these rappers are “famous”, have a more lucrative “lifestyle”, and probably have more day-to-day fun than me in their career…
It’s very easy for me to become jaded and feel like I’m “losing” in the game because I don’t have the attention of all the groupies and paid for whips, etc.
NOW, if I only focused on the jaded feelings I occasionally have because I’m not as FAMOUS than those other artists…
I would likely sell-out musically in order to chase the fame they have in the States, or dress an unnatural way…
And in the process, that inauthenticity might ironically damage my chances of being taken on another global tour.
I had to really face to myself, what is more important: the ego boost of fame or the lifestyle of a world-traveling artist?
So, as a full-time rapper, in order to sustain your career…
Often you’ll just have to swallow your pride and focus the LIFESTYLE you prefer over the perks…
If going full-time is your first priority.
2) “Why have I never heard of you?”
“Why have I never heard of you?” Is going to be one of the most common questions you’re going to get as a full-time artist unless you have MAJOR clout.
Similarly to point #1, this will be a time in which you’ll need to swallow your pride if maintaining your full-time career lifestyle is most important to you.
Look, the vast majority of people who listen to rap evaluate artists based on their buzz. If they’ve at least heard of someone, they feel like the artist is either talented or at the very least knows how to get money in this game.
And more than any other genre, being able to generate a buzz and get a lot of money are admired in rap.
On the other hand, most amateur rappers waste so much time trying to think of tricky methods to “get a buzz” or “stack bread” that they try to take shortcuts while missing out on many opportunities that would help them transition to a full-time career if they’d just try it out…
