Part 3 to the series I am a Rapper, gives an insight into the groundwork of creating and distributing music, as well as the struggle of building the right image as an artist. We see Qbgino in a new space, interacting with his closest friends, and doing what he loves the most, creating music. Even though this is just a continuing of Qbgino’s story, I can see the progress in his work, as well as my own. I now have a better understanding of how to formulate my questions to Qbgino. I also know what surroundings makes him feel more comfortable. For this part, I also focused much more on the cinematography compared to Part 1 and Part 2.

Part 2 of I am a Rapper continues to follow Qbgino on his journey of becoming a rapper as he works on his first album. This part gives an insight of how a “beginner” type artist works in order to create, execute and distribute music. I thought this was an important segment as we see Qbgino in his own element, specifically in his own home. Not only do we get to see him work, but we also get a look at what a “home studio” might look like.

I am a Rapper Part 1 follows Qbgino, a young rapper who deals with the stigma surrounding the LGBT community in the hip hop industry. He seeks to redefine the term “rapper” and eliminate the stigma. I wanted the subject of this project to be raw and as real as possible, meaning I wanted Qbgino to be vulnerable and honest. What’s interesting about this shoot, is that I ended up getting almost an hour worth of just interview. This made the editing process quite stressful as there was so much information that could be covered. However, I’m very happy with the topic I chose to focus on.
