Featured artist: TheCasinoLife - Life Is A Gamble
As part of our ongoing "Rap's New Generation" series, today we sat down with the upcoming underground artist TheCasinoLife from Queens to talk about his recent music, his upcoming projects, his career advice and his overall experiences being in the music industry and he did not disappoint...
Thanks for taking the time to talk with us, TheCasinoLife! Let's go back to the beginning of your career. How did you decide to become an artist?
TheCasinoLife: As a child, I use to listen to the radio nonstop. I would go online & print out the lyrics to my favorite songs so that I can know them all. Eventually, I began writing myself & as time went on, my love for music just grew & i couldn't turn away
Live my truth. If i own up to all my flaws, no one can tell me anything about myself. I'd rather live my life like an open book than to have the next person try to expose me & i have to deal with the backlash that follows.
What about concerts? Do you play live?
I have performed live & its an amazing feeling. I've always been the class clown so being the center of attention has never bothered me
Best punchline you ever wrote?
That's a hard one because i have so many but i guess i'll go with "you lose focus hypnotized by these bitches. The way my camp concentrates, not even hitler can kill us"
What are you currently working on? Did you release something in the past?
I just released my project 'For Better Or Worse' On November 30th. It's currently available on all major platforms such as Apple, Spotify, Tidal, Amazon, etc. However I'm currently working on my new EP which will drop this spring & my next full length project should be out by Halloween
Last but not least: Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I would love to sign to a major. Signing a major deal only becomes an issue when you're not aware of the business aspect of the industry. Some rappers dont feel the need to Educate themselves until it's too late. Ain't no label gon fuck me over. Believe me when i say that deadass
Any last words?
Of course much love to NYC. Queens i love y'all. Shoutout to all the homies. From OTM, TBE, Rotten Apple, VOT, & Archer Mob. SBz for Life !
Where can people follow you to stay up-to-date?

Thank you for your time. We wish you much success in your further career.
