My hometown.
Ive been meaning to speak about this for awhile now and Ive finally got the time to sit and push this out. Hello Fall River, It’s me: H.W.
Ive been rapping/managing/performing hip hop music for the last 7 years at least and all the while I have got little to no respect in my hometown. We started (ie Delusional Records) doing shows in our hometown thinking that support would be huge, I mean as far as we knew, we were the only people throwing hip hop shows of any kind down in the river. It started off well for a few gigs, we had many people coming out to show love but as I started to realize these people didn’t really support the music, they just liked being apart of something bigger then themselves, and once they realized they couldn’t be involved in the rap aspect…most of them left.
I’ve been pushing myself within this town for along time, too long to still have next to no one even know who I am around the streets of Fall River. I’ve been featured in the Herald News a few times and Ive had my name and stickers plastered all over that city for years, and I still haven’t received much love from my hometown. I’m known all over Boston and Providence and nationwide for my music, Ive toured with some great acts and opened for big names, I think the only way my hometown will ever support me is if I blow up BIG TIME, and that might be coming real soon. (Ive been signed to a major distro deal with Leedz)
Why all the hate and anger in this post?
I recently did a show with the only other crew that has talent and is pushing real good music (check them out here) I pushed this show as hard as I possibly could, Ive been asked a ton of times when I would return to Fall River and perform for the hometown. I finally broke down and did it, and only 5 people came out for me. I know I have at least 300 people in fall river asking about me all the time and when Im coming down to perform. I get frustrated because I used to represent my hometown so hard when I went on tour, I even have a song dedicated to my home town on my next album (be on the lookout for the summer) and I still feel disrespected.
I recently found some hateful words towards my crew on a youtube video from an actual artist I used to believe was a good emcee and respected, but he decided to flip the page and try to build off my name and my crew with his shitty youtube song, I would post it here but I would be giving him shine and that’s what he wants to happen.
in closing I just want to say I will always love Fall River, but I wont always love the people that stay there. Stop hating on what my team has been doing for years and build.
