I had an opportunity to chop it up with Pelham Parkway today; a Bronx rapper on the horizon, who hails from his namesake. Relatively new to the game, he has been rapping for roughly two years; it has been a passion of his since he was an adolescent. Inspired by a genuine love for music, "He just listens to it. All kinds of music". Pelham Parkway continues, "Sometimes, when I listen to different stuff, I start thinking to myself, how I would have did it; so it makes me want to create". Motivated by money, his one mistake was waiting so long to take the game seriously, in his opinion; this was his primary focus during his short bid. He admits that despite doing time, he would not change a thing, but would just tone things down and be "less greedy". He also entices me, by explaining that I would have to know the whole story; implying a much bigger picture. His new songs, "Devil Kalling" and "In Check" speak to the trapping lifestyle; something he is familiar with. When asked what else can be expected with respect to story-line, he responded, "The more comfortable I get with my music, the more versatile." I thought that was very profound feedback for someone so new to the music game. As he mentioned, everything is authentic, and he speaks on what he is familiar with. His music and craft will grow with him, and I appreciate the candor and honesty. I hope he uses this platform to tell the story he alluded to earlier; I would be open to the project. He hopes to work with Dave East, Fabolous, Don Q, Wiz Khalifa and Jay Z at some point in his career, in some capacity. As far as what 2019 holds in store, Pelham Parkway will be focused on creating more music and working on corresponding visuals. He has predicted big things financially for his team and made sure to shout-out the Blazers, the G-BOYZ, Pelham Parkway and the Bronx, of course, before signing off.
