Huh, Who's texting me?]]> 2018-05-16 21:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261394496 186858 https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261395866 2018-05-16 21:58:11 UTC https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261395866 186858 https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261396931 "Listen to this bro"]]> 2018-05-16 22:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261396931 186858 https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261408974 It took me to his Soundcloud account. It sounded similar to the song from the other day but much, much better. 

Then it hit me.

I couldn't believe it at first. No way this is him! No. Just no. I can't be. This guy can't rap to save his life. And he CAN'T even SING! 

Could it be? Is it really? It might be?  ]]> 2018-05-16 23:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261408974 186858 https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261409420 Turns out. It can be him. It was him.

I was baffled. My friend, Andrew Chung, had released a song and people were actually listening to it. And as his view went up, so did the encouragement. Later he released a music video that got him even bigger.]]> 2018-05-16 23:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261409420 186858 https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261412194 Andrew Chung is a current senior at Glenbrook South going by the name Chunga. He has two official singles called What U Like and Mardi Gras along with a few other minute long samples. He is attending Marquette University next fall and plans to continue his pursuit of music there. He plans on majoring in finance to work at his mom’s firm or a financial advisor to a major music label.]]> 2018-05-17 00:04:04 UTC https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261412194 186858 https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261412314 2018-05-17 00:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261412314 186858 https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261413599 2018-05-17 00:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261413599 186858 https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261414155 I decided to interview him because he is a good friend and he is very passionate about his music. I knew I would be able to get a lot of good information from him. I hoped to find out how he does what he does. I interviewed him about his music and ou conversation was a good 12 minutes. Matter of fact, I had trouble cutting it down to 5 minutes.]]> 2018-05-17 00:17:41 UTC https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261414155 186858 https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261415463 2018-05-17 00:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261415463 186858 https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261415914 He calls himself Chunga]]> 2018-05-17 00:30:47 UTC https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261415914 186858 https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261417968  Chunga is currently working on a 3 song EP scheduled for release in a few weeks.  After sending me snippets of his EP, he clearly has a unrelenting passion. Chunga right now is not in it for the money unlike a lot of other people, but instead in it for the feeling. A feeling he can take wherever he goes. I was recently told that everyone needs a destresser. Chunga has found that stress outlet. Chunga hopes the summer he will very productive in producing his music. Personally, I hope he sticks with it. ]]> 2018-05-17 00:41:42 UTC https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261417968 186858 https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261418912 From this interview I take a new sense of musical awareness. People use music in different ways to suit their lives. Just because you or someone you know does not like a particular style of music doesn’t mean that that type of music isn’t music. Music is Music.  It is used in a variety of cultures and distinct in its own way. So, how can one say mumble rap isn't music, but just a trend. How can someone say lyricists are too political without listening to them.]]> 2018-05-17 00:46:18 UTC https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261418912 186858 https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261419014 However the one thing I know for sure is that music, similar to art, can’t be defined. What is music? What components make up music? Can music be controlled? Can music be stopped from evolving?]]> 2018-05-17 00:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261419014 186858 https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261419192 2018-05-17 00:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/186858/l0fmcg62qgki/wish/261419192
