What Music Means to Me

For me personally, music is my personal escape from the world around me. I listen to music in between classes when I need to relax a bit and forget about quizzes, tests, mid-terms, and final exams. I also like listen to music when I exercise. If I do not listen to music while I exercise, I am not putting my whole effort into the exercise because I may get distracted by something that is happening around me. I alternate between listening to rap and rock music. I enjoy listening to rock music because majority of the time, it is very loud and it allows me to get away. However, I also listen to rap music because the majority of rappers talk about their own personal experiences in their songs. One of my favorite rap artists is Logic because he talks about the struggles he had to overcome before he became a successful artist. For example, in his latest album he speaks about how he and his family used to live off of welfare  when he was young. Also he speaks about how he is self made, because put up $500,000 of his own money in order to produce his album.
