About Uptoppapi
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
I remember the first time my mom played me The Notorious B.I.G I fell in love with hip hop.
But When I heard my dad play Jay Z's Black Album and Blueprint I knew I was hooked.
It was love when God put me at that lunch table and I started rapping.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
JAŸ-Z, The Black Album
Nas, Illmatic
The Notorious B.I.G., Life After Death (2014 Remaster)
Life After Death for me was literally the blueprint of what a great album is supposed to sound like from start to finish. The Black Album was a muse of what hip hop needed for innovation at that time.
Illmatic the most cinematic pieces of audio art.
