Hailing from Houston, Texas, Entdeathstroke offers a candid perspective on the city’s dynamic but often fragmented music scene. “The music out here is weird sometimes,” he says. “Sometimes it feel like we comin’ together, then sometimes it don’t. But it’s a lot of different styles and talent out here; it’s just every man for they self out here.” He acknowledges the culture of independence in the Houston music community, where collaboration is rare. “Nobody like being ‘friendly,’ and I grew up that way too, so I’m part of the blame. We need to change, mane.”
When it comes to his career aspirations, Entdeathstroke’s vision is refreshingly grounded. “My main goal in my career is to build my own fan base and grow locally. I don’t want to be the biggest in the world; I don’t want to be famous,” he states. Focused on authentic growth, he prioritizes genuine connections over mainstream success.
Entdeathstroke also shares his thoughts on the broader music industry. If he could change one thing, it would be the way certain behaviors are promoted among artists. “The way some these rappers be acting—like painting the nails and acting like girls—I don’t think that’s a good thing to promote to the kids,” he explains. He also critiques the glorification of violence in the culture. “The way every rapper want to be tough and be a killa. Just be ya self,” he advises. Rooted in personal experience and genuine concern for the next generation, Entdeathstroke’s perspective sheds light on both the challenges and opportunities facing independent artists today.
