In the first episode of DNA, we celebrate the creative genius of Jamla representative Rapsody! Starting in Snow Hill, North Carolina, we highlight Rapsody's early family life, musical influences, key themes and artistic skills. We also shed more light on Rapsody's time in the Rap group Kooley High, building a relationship with 9th Wonder, collaborating with Kendrick Lamar, signing with Jay-Z's Roc Nation and more. Most importantly, we champion Rapsody as a gifted writer who has made a name for herself using clever wordplay, poetic devices, pop culture references and innovative storytelling.
