#PeepTheVisual: Pounds – “Hard Times”

Evie Blanco

I hail from Corona, Queens NY. I'm a Music Head, a sneakerhead, a mother to a beautiful baby girl who also loves hip-hop, and collects kicks. Music, primarily hip-hop has been a huge part of my life since I got a pink boom-box, at age 5. Listening to Angie Mar, Monie Love, Steph Lova, Jazzy Joyce, and Coco Chanel, I always had an itch to enter the culture somehow, and I did; as an emcee. I gained mad respect and love from some of the illest and most respected rappers, producers, and DJs in the game, and for that, my love for the art will forever be genuine. I always thought I'd get into radio, but in 2014, I found my calling as a journalist, and I've been rockin 'ever since. I enjoy all types of music, as long as it's dope, and my most passionate writing, and truest words, will always come from something or someone I believe in or stand for.
