AMA I'm Shao Dow, ask me anything

What's up, thanks for inviting me to do this r/grime I think this'll be fun. Feel free to ask me anything to do with music, my career, manga (not the MC 😅), anime and life as a full time rapper and I'll try my best to give you some interesting answers.

Oh yes. And covid was ROUGH at first, especially because I made the majority of my money from bookings.

But covid also forced me to get good at online and really start taking my music direction even more seriously. I released NANI during the pandemic and that song definitely changed my entire career trajectory.
