What is a quote you live by?

Failures are my greatest Achievements. – Abstract Domo 

Mr Domo has some unique pre stduio/performance traditions

Hours before recording I listen to a variety of music relating to the track. I always rehearse my verses. Before recording just to make sessions smoother and faster to finish other projects. When everything is set up  and ready for recording I make sure that I got something to eat.

I always try to stay next to positive vibes being around family or close friends chilling and asking for advice on how I should attack the audience depending on the songs being played.

Abstract raps about his biggest musical influences and his opinion on the industry here

Rakim, Nas, The Notorious BIG, Joey Bada$$, Kendrick Lamar

The music industry right now is in a weird state. A lot of sub genres have cause a lot tension with the main branches of music being R&B, Hip Hop, Rock Etc. Artist should be compared in there respected genres and give more credit for those who help create these sub genres like Alt Rock (Lil uzi). I feel like our generation of music is  getting diluted with artist that are simply recycling other artist sound . Back in the day music videos had legends that were the focus of the video while now a days videos are filled with too many “Stars” that don’t sound any different from each other.
