We were lucky to catch up with Joseph Yosko recently and have shared our conversation below.

Joseph, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you talk to us about how you learned to do what you do?

I learned from experience of doing hip hop for 24 years. What could have sped up my learning process is people giving constructive criticism instead of letting me find out on my own and improve on my own. The skills I think were most essential is being a good writer and being able to rhyme words. The obstacles in my way we’re mainly the competition.

Joseph, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I’m a hip hop artist from the Philadelphia area how I got into the industry is being good at writing poems and a good freestyler. I’m most proud of my way to overcome all the obstacles they were placed in my path also having a non-supportive family. What sets me apart from others is I’ve been doing it for 24 years not too many people could say that. I can also write a song about anything my music goes off my mood and situations that are happening in my life at the time. When I was 28 I got into a severe car accident and was told I’d never walk again well I treated that like I did my hip hop craft and people that said I can’t do something I just prove them wrong and show them that I can do it.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

When I was 28 years old I got into a severe car accident I died twice and was told I never walk again I equate that being told that I would never walk again to help people treating me during my hip hop career meaning if they said I couldn’t do a song or I sounded the same the very next song I’d prove them wrong.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

Yes to inspire people to never give up and treat others how they wanna be treated and to inspire people to never give up, treat others how they wanna be treated, and most importantly never think your the best how can you say your the best if you haven’t reached your full potential yet.
