That's Hip-Hop
We're 3 high school friends who share a common passion for Hip Hop. Each of us have created our own albums, performed or started our own channels, but this time, we are collaborating together to share our common bond over our love for hip hop. We are taking a journey into the music. Going album by album to dissect and share our experiences with the tracks. We release a new episode every Monday. Check us out and let us know what albums we should review next!

In a raw, energy-charged chat straight out of the 909, Personal (stylized “P E R S I N A L”) opens up beyond the mic—mixing introspective beats with braggadocious bravado, he pulls us into his world. Born from heartfelt intros, trust in community, and the grit of building something from nothing, he’s not just an artist—he’s a sinner and a survivor. From Pomona’s beat-driven roots to the founding of The Limelight, you feel his drive to elevate his scene, his peers, and himself. He bends genre, flips flows, and wears his chains—both literal and metaphorical—to show where he’s been and where he’s heading.
But don’t let the swagger fool you. Underneath, there’s reflection, confession, and an earnest desire to connect. Personal teaches himself the technicalities until his lyrics snap with emotion—exploring pain, pride, lust, and redemption. He battles darkness, nearly losing himself in the process, only to emerge with purpose: this album isn’t just bars—it’s a lifeline. Through voices of doubt, voicemail confessions, and emotional roller-coasters, he extends a message: even when you’re lost in your spiral, you’re never truly alone. “That is a permanent solution to temporary problems,” he warns—and then dares you to ride the wave with him.
