Which Artist Influenced You The Most?

[JC Blade]

Whether you're a rapper, singer or a producer, you're bound to have been influenced by another artist before you decided to pick up the mic/play the keys.

If you're not in the music game, which artist has influenced your life the most?

Mine was Dr. Dre...2001 dropped and I listened to it on repeat for months. My favorite joints were "Forgot About Dre" "Next Episode" and "What's The Difference" and it just made me want to buy a keyboard and produce beats. In my opinion, Dr. Dre is still the number one producer in hip hop history...hands down.

Which artist influenced you the most?
