Should I Interview a Rapper or a Nurse?

When I first started high school, I wasn’t interested at all in attending college, the reason being that I was so in love with music and that was the only thing I cared about. Choir was a huge part of my life and I put it before school. I didn’t need a degree for a music career. But my thoughts would go up and down between music, becoming a nurse or a lawyer. I do believe that if I would’ve stayed at Tolleson High School I wouldn’t be attending NAU in the fall because I refused to take a foreign language, which is required for admission to a university. Even though I am studying nursing right now and plan to pursue a bachelors of science, I would also like to major in music production because music is my passion and it will always be with me.
In the beginning, I did not want to do the interview and was not happy at all that it became a requirement. After thinking about it, I thought maybe it would be interesting for my classmates to see an interview with an underground hip-hop artist. Then I started to flip-flop between interviewing a rapper or interviewing someone in the medical field since that is what I’m studying. I was really interested in interviewing Perv, a rapper with Swagga House Records, since he has already had a song on the radio called, “Lollipop Girl” and another single “Finally Made It.” At first I was nervous to ask him if I could interview him because I had no idea what he would say. He gave me a simple yet exciting answer of, “Most definitely!” which thrilled me and it’s an honor to interview an artist like him.
