Inspiration (Hip Hop, Art, Life, and Struggles)

Kayohes: "The song "Inspiration," was created in the time span of 48 hours. One evening, Microphono presented me with 6 or 7 various beats. The tune for "Inspiration" captivated me from the moment the sound flooded my eardrums. I was truly inspired and after 30 minutes, I had written three 16 bar verses. The next day O.C. Beats and I started working on the hook. Once completed, I presented the finished track to Microphono. It definitely earned his stamp of approval and was kept on repeat for a good 15 minutes. A couple of weeks later, I transitioned back to the US. It was there that I spawned the idea for the video with my friend Jesus Mayorga, who directed it. The video was shot in 3 different locations: my apartment, a graffiti location, and a hip hop shop- all areas of inspiration. So there you go, the creation of the first single for my album "Stress City 2!"
