Ian: Hey man, how are you doing today?
rexington91: Busy. I have a lot going on this time of year due to finals and such. But other than that, great!
Ian: I feel you. Let’s start with this: When and why did you get involved with Genius?
rexington91: I got involved about three years ago. It started when I really started to get into Christian rap, especially Andy Mineo. When I was playing his album Uncomfortable, my parents were shocked by the language that he sometimes used. They then challenged me to think more about the meaning that the artist has behind the song, and to make sure I was playing music that would uplift God and show others that I am a Christian. So, I searched for lyrics on the internet and quickly fell in love with Genius.
Ian: Uncomfortable is one of my favorites. Speaking of which, what’s your favorite album?
rexington91: Ok, my favorite album… whoof that’s a hard one. It would have to be The Human Condition [Clean version] by Jon Bellion. That guys has some serious skills, and his pop just hits me hard man. Other notable albums would have to be for me, JGivens' Fly Exam, Propaganda’s Excellent, and Beautiful Eulogy’s whole catalog. I just LOVE Humble Beast, and since I’m poor, it provides a great way to get free music.
Ian: I love Beautiful Eulogy. I especially like Crooked by Propaganda. I probably should’ve asked this earlier, but tell us a bit about yourself, if you will, please.
rexington91: Well, right now I am a student. My social security number is ********** I grew up in the midwest, and have been a Christian since I was nine. Right now, just trying to get through school and not leak all my information to Genius.
Ian: I’m from the midwest!! Right now is like the worst time to live here, though.
rexington91: What's bad about the midwest?
Ian: It’s just, well, cold… Next question. Any thoughts on physical music in general?
rexington91: Hmmm, well I have quite a bit of physical music. Overall, I like the security of it, but I also use mp3s quite a bit. Overall, it will be like records and become outdated and then comeback and be the rage again.
Ian: Agreed. I use a mix of cassette, CD, and digital, and hopefully someday vinyl. Next question. Have you ever seen an artist in concert? If so, who?
rexington91: I have seen quite a bit of artists in concert. My favorite shows have been Social Club Misfits, Andy Mineo, Rend Collective, and definitely Crowder. Mostly, I have gone to Winter Jam.
Ian: Winter Jam 2015 was the first concert I ever went through. So, where did you get the idea “rexington91”? Anything specific?
rexington91: Well, when I was younger, I one of the first plays I went to go see was really cool. I remember meeting a kid who performed who I thought was lit, and his parents had named him Rex. I was like, that is the coolest name I have ever heard. So I kept that. Then when I was creating a PBS kids account , I needed to make a username, and I remember thinking, Rex. Sadly it was too short, so I decided to add the ington, since it sounded cool. Then I put the 91 on the end cause I was 9 years old when I made the username and I thought, man, I’m only 9 once. So then it became 91.
Ian: PBS KIDS!! (Haha) I had one of those too!
You’ve said before that you’re still in school. Do you have favorite and least favorite subjects?
rexington91: I prefer not to go into the basics of school. For my own personal safety. When I was in high school though, I really could not stand Chemistry and Physics. My favorite would probably have to be art. Drawing, graphic design, acting… I just loved it all!
Ian: Drawing…. I guess we are kind of similar! Next question. This should be fun: If you were forced to eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? I know mine.
rexington91: BURGERS! I LOVE BURGERS SOOOOOOOOOO MUUCH!!! LIKE NO JOKE. They are literally the best thing.
Ian: But what about tacos? Also, have you ever had a burger from a place that puts fries right on the burger?
rexington91: Naw, but sounds delicious. I like tacos, but not as much as BURGERS!
Ian: Haha. What’s your opinion on The Police? Like, the band.
rexington91: Never heard of the before…. After searching them up…. Okay, so I have heard their most popular song before. They seem to be kinda creepy. Like, really creepy. But I don’t really know. Haven’t listened to a lot of their stuff.
Ian: That song was intended as a love song. Haha. What about cassettes?
rexington91: Don’t use, outdated. Really, outdated. There was not much to love from these. I guess people feel a nostalgia. I personally don’t.
Ian: Um… next question… Do you really like any other genres the way you do CHH?
rexington91: I LOVE POP. It’s really funny, since it is super generic, but I love the sound of it. Think more Jon Bellion, OneRepublic, or Tori Kelly. Then I also love Punk Rock. Think Relient K or House of Heroes. The last genre I really like is Alternative. I love the mixup of genres. It’s just lit.
Ian: I agree with you on pop. Partially. Anyway... We made it! We’re at the last question! Anything else you might want to say to sum this up?
rexington91: Bro, don’t do drugs. *mic drop*
