Meet Sean Randolph

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sean Randolph.

Sean, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
Well. I’ll say that even though I was involved with music ever since I was 16. I never would imagine myself here at this point. I always liked the art of it all. I just didn’t see myself in the place of an Artist. I always enjoyed the actual action of doing the things and living out these stories you hear us talk about. So I chose to do so and never directed my focus or gifts towards anything positive other than my Legacy In the Streets Or to people around me, which was never positive. Along I knew I was running from something I just could never figure out what. Finally, In 2017 which I call the worst year in my life, I had an awakening and breakthrough when I was incarcerated and was gonna be charged with two felony charges putting me away for some time. I remember being In a cell by myself being at a crossroads with myself and God. From that point, I was blessed to have all charges Dismissed and have another chance at life. I can say I honestly wanted to give up life because during it I’ve experienced extreme amounts of Abuse. And I mean every abuse there is was a continuous daily thing so much, so it’s changing the way you think and your perspective. I didn’t see much value in my life.

Lucky for me my daughter was able to remind me of a part of me that was still there and motivate and encourage me to go harder and prove to her it Life wasn’t gonna be this way for her. I still had no clue how I was gonna make something Happen until 2019 and the same Vision I had years back became clear. I suddenly knew what to do and how to do it. The toughest part was accepting the fact I had to let go of everybody and everything around me. I didn’t want too because it was all I knew but that was the toxic part I slowly started to witness. I watched Friends & Family turn they back on me. Once that happened, that person they knew died. And I was able to have a new and clear mind free of doubt. Sometimes You don’t realize how great you are until you have nothing but the gifts and talents Left, Given to you by God and your energy and focus is spent on it instead of messing with it.

Jan 1st, 2020 is when me and my Brother Siiah Released “20/20 Vision” sharing with the world our vision. Funny cause you can listen to it and see it being relevant In this current not realizing that we made and recorded the album early 2019. Ever since we released that album, I can say my life has been completely different. It’s so weird because Even with everything happening, sometimes I’m not sure if The world is completely different or I am. Either way, I’m excited for what’s to come.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
#1 struggle was taking time away from my daughter and working. I miss her all the time. There’s also the struggles of Jealousy and hate I receive daily mostly from my own peers and city but that’s expected. My other struggles were accepting the fact that I wasn’t gonna be the same anymore. I have become someone new, so it’s like starting over and understanding this new person. Not having any more moments with the ones I loved. Accepting life itself will be diff from now on. My city is a struggle. The people here aren’t all in tuned, which Whats important or really going on. They are too worried about the wrong things. Finances will always be the #1 for me tho. Hopefully, that will change.

We’d love to hear more about your work.
The thing that set me apart from others is I’m just 100% true to myself. My Manager Yolo always reminds me to do that. So the things I mention or talk about in music are 100% Authentic. I turned 30 in Oct and still don’t think I’m actual Mc or rapper. I haven’t made music in ten years. But being myself never needed practice. What you see is what you get. And I have no problem explaining what I mean in my lyrics or pointing out a time or situation I’ve been in that relates to what you hear. I don’t listen to much new music, so theirs no blueprint or standard of how I make my music. I do what I like and my Fans love me for that. Everybody else can keep pretending or whatever they got going on. I don’t have any more friends and only hang out with Women. So I don’t know or care what the Trends are. Never kept up with it. I’m done being cool I wanna be great

Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Proudest Moment was this moment when you guys picked up my story. Other from that, I’d have to say Jan 1st once the album released. So much was invested and I know it’s gonna pay off someday. At least, it’s a part of me that will last forever. But to be honest, I’m proud of myself each day I continue without giving up. Cause those thoughts will hunt you daily. We provide a top Quality Sound.
