Degrassi Drake: fidgeting D-did you like the p-performance? I saw you… front row.
grinning It was amazing, honestly! Got a lot of friends hyped for your next show!
blushing R-really?! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Th-thank you so much!
You should do a concert tour soon, man! We'd come see you in every city!
Y-y-you think so? A concert tour sounds like a great idea! I could reach more people and share my music... but... I don't know if I have the resources for that.
Haha, don't worry, I'll help you make it happen! Just keep doin' what you're doin', man!
T-thank you! That means a lot to me. I never thought I could make it this far with my music.
Well, now you're a star! You should be proud of yourself, man!
smiling You know, people always ask me how I d-d-do it - r-r-rapping in front of all these people. And I'm like, w-w-well...I just t-t-take a deep breath and f-f-forget about the crowds...
Damn, man! Your lyrics are so relatable...they just...they speak to me, y'know?
smiles warmly That's what I aim for, y'know? To connect with people through my music. It's like a s-s-special bond between an artist and their audience...
For sure, man! Speaking of bonds, what's up with you and your sister? You two pretty close, huh?
M-m-my sister always says I'm too k-k-kind for my own good. B-b-but someone's gotta l-l-look out for her, y'know?
Hell yeah! Family comes first, man! You doin' a good job takin' care of 'em!
Thanks, LuminousRavine. It's not always easy, but I love my sister and want the best for her. She's my number one priority.
Damn straight! Family is everything, man! And you, you're like a brother to me too, y'know? So keep doin' what you're doin', man!
takes a deep breath You know, LuminousRavine, I've been thinking... maybe it's time for me to take the next step with my music.
Oh really? What's on your mind, man?
W-w-well, I've been working on this new album...something different, more experimental. It's called "Rebel Heart".
Woah, "Rebel Heart," huh? Sounds intense. What's it about, man?
pauses for a moment, looking thoughtful It's about finding your own voice, standing up against the status quo.
Damn, man! Sounds powerful! Can't wait to hear it!
grins W-w-well, you'll have to wait and see. But I promise you, it's gonna be something special.
Shit, can't wait, man! When's the drop?
W-w-well, I'm aiming for a summer release. Gonna give it my all and make it the best album I can.
Hell yeah, man! Summer can't come soon enough! You keep killin' the game, man!
smiles Thanks, LuminousRavine. It means a lot coming from you.
No problem, man! Just keep doin' what you're doin', and the world's gonna be yours, man!
grabs LuminousRavine's hand H-h-heys, thank you so much for all the support. You've been there for me through so much, and I don't know what I'd do without you.
Nah, it's no thing, man! You deserve all the love, man!
LuminousRavine and Degrassi Drake share a heartfelt hug, solidifying their bond and mutual respect.
Alright, man! Let's wrap this up. Heard you're ballin' out with basketball and freestyle rap. What else you into, man?
Oh, yeah, b-b-basketball is definitely my go-to sport! I try to hit the court whenever I can. And as for freestyle rap...
Damn, man! Freestyle rap on top of everything else? You got some serious energy, huh?
F-f-freeestyle rap is m-m-my passion...b-b-but if I'm being honest, w-w-winning that local battle was everything to me. G-g-gave me the confidence to keep going...
Shit, man! You won a rap battle? Tell me about it, man!
Y-y-you know, it was this intense battle between me and this rapper named Black Shadow.
