The Verse of Perseverance
[Music]
so
being a rapper and having and stammering
problem
is something which you will not hear
it’s a rare thing but
i practiced then you know it all
happened
my name if you don’t know me my name is
viveka arora
also known as karma i am a rapper
eminem and i was like who’s this guy
and he he he just you know stared at me
and he was like you don’t know eminem
i was like i don’t know him and that was
the first time
somebody played hip-hop in front of me
and i fell in love instantly with this
art form
because i’m a big introvert i don’t talk
much if you don’t know me i won’t talk
to you
on your face but if you know me then
there’s a whole different story about it
and uh so when i used to
write because jesse many hip-hop sunnah
man
you know i i want to i wanted to
you know dig deep so many hip-hop sunnah
like and i felt okay yeah this is what i
want to do because this is
giving me the power to speak whatever i
want to say in a way
jokey directly hit curry because
although i was an introvert although i
was in big
introvert but things and ideas were
always jumping in my mind
you know i was lacking confident
confidence
as well but
i started trapping and hip-hop gave me
the power to
be as open as
as you can say honest about my feelings
and i i
rode my liquor and it gave me the power
so i
decided that yes i want to do this but
usually beats me both side problems see
i had to convince my family
manage my career that how to do what are
the answers
to and i come from a joint family a
middle class joint family i’m
i’m from dehradun i’m born and brought
up here so germany
family say bhakti they were like
if you want to do it then do it so it
was not
it was a big confusion but
i i told my father and he said that yes
if you want to do it then you do it but
you should have a backup plan and he was
absolutely right because that’s what uh
that’s what an intelligent man would
advise
okay okay you want to do it then do it
back up plan leakage hello he told me
that and instantly i was like you were
right about it
so many
a americans course kelly applicant we
got admission in there but
all those times
[Music]
now my mind was talking rap to me
i was writing i was i was you know just
making songs
and my you know and then after merry
christmas
i got a call from arunachal pradesh they
wanted me to perform in a
music festival and they said that they
will cover my travel ex
expenses and that was enough for me for
that time
i i got excited of course but
the plot twist was that now the date
they wanted me to
perform on was the same day jumeirah
with me and i decided that i’m going to
perform so i left my bac
i went there i performed
and that was my first major gig and i
got a huge
response a crazy one we got standing
ovation as well and that was the time i
cleared my mind and i was like you know
i wanna i wanna do
rap i wanna be a rapper i wanna do i i
wanna live this life
now of course i came like i i came back
home called it
i came back i told this to my family of
course they supported me but
they were upset as well they had so many
questions for me
but meredith subscription
jobs are back back offices
hotel just may not put data into new
birthday i was doing that for like maybe
six months and then maybe three years or
sorry two years in call center
uh
that’s it so i was not waiting for any
big camera or anything i was just using
youtube because that was a free platform
i was using it i was
putting videos back to back 8k body and
then
one day uh
november 2017
rafter he’s a big name
in the scene he was having
a show in my city and after party
[Music]
he said that he liked my work and he
wants me to you know he want to sign me
under his label from that call i knew
that things are going to
change now so i told this to my father
and he was happy
i was everybody was happy and proud
because this is what i wanted to do and
this is what
because having a label to back you up
is a is a good thing in this industry
you know there are so many things you
don’t have to deal with then
but just before yehota
i lost my father in an accident same
year last
last day of the year i i lost him and
voice he
still germany could be so so now all of
a sudden the
responsibilities were on me
and uh i was the head of the family i
had to
put the food on the table so so many
things all of a sudden were on my
shoulders
so in order to you know
in that was my time to prove that you
know what i stand for and what i talk
about
you know be strong this that so i
started working
in a in an atm as an atm guard
i did that job for like one month maybe
and then uh
delivery boy as well for 15 to
20 days because after that i got a call
from my
team saying that you know everything has
been done like the paperwork and all you
can come and
proceed like we can proceed further
so now my first song from the label
was a major hit for that that time and
um we are still like you know going
strong
so yeah this was my story and now again
[Music]
the dream you want to achieve will come
to you if your intention and the circle
is right
just just just believe that what goes
around comes around
believe in karma that’s me and i’m gonna
wrap this up by
one of my rap this
thank you guys
