It's good to do something that feels like a challenge because it helps you grow and give yourself a room for improvement.
Acting and Rapping... How are you handling or balancing the two?
For now it is easy to balance them because I just got supporting roles.

When I write stories through lyrics on my songs I also feel like I'm boosting my acting career because I take every song as a story.
