Blanco Caine
July 2013
Who are you?
Blanco Caine. I’m everything I rap about: an entrepreneur, father of two and finesser of pretty women. [laughs] I’m an indie artist that happens to have a few hot songs and some solid bars.
Where do you live?
South suburbs of Chicago.
What do you do?
Not just rap… I create, package, promote and distribute my product, whether by hand, or I’m funding and helping my partners do the same.
When did you start?
Seriously, as a business, last year. But I’ve been putting rhymes together for over 10 years now.
How was your first show/performance?
I was nervous and excited all at the same time. But the moment that beat dropped, it was game time. Go hard or go home, right?
What would you like to gain from your work?
To create generous revenue streams for not only my family and I, but also my partners and their families. Most importantly, I wanna be able to look back and say that I not only broke through, but that I had a career in doing what I love.
What would you like your audience to gain from your work?
Give my fans some timeless music in between the flexing… [laughs] That can make a difference in some of their lives.
Who or what are your biggest influences?
Struggle and my kids. Hard times make a tough dude go harder. And for my kids, it ain’t a limit to the lengths I would go.
What keeps you up at night?
Nothing. Stress kills. I’m not finna let nothing stress me. Long as I’m still here; I’m in it to win it.
What’s next?
My mixtape White America hosted by Bigga Rankin, Supastar J. Kwik and Vic Lloyd. Look for it this summer—it’s definitely gone be a game changer. I’ve put a lot of work into it, along with the DJs who’ve joined up with me.
