Chicago Rapper Tehondi Quits His Job & Releases Fire New Single that’ll make you quit your slave job too: ‘95’
Chicago, Illinois - September 28th 2018, the rising independent hip hop artist Tehondi will release his highly anticipated sophomore studio effort ‘Hiatus Days Over.’ Leading up to the album’s eventual release, the artist 1st debuted ‘Tehondi-san;’ an explosive track themed around accomplishing your dreams by any means necessary. Now, shortly after, Tehondi has dropped his second single 95: the new ‘Fuck a slave job’ anthem.
The story behind the creation of 95 is as crazy & epic as the song itself. “What really set this song off in my mind is the conversation I had with a friend when he told me I shouldn’t sell my music. He was like I’m not at that level yet. “Well how am I gonna afford to make music?” He then tells me to just work a regular job to keep afloat and that I’m getting too ahead of myself. “Just work a job for a few years and save up. Everybody has to pay their dues and so do you.” That pissed me off so much man... I’m not paying no dues to be able do what I love. I’m not letting no one stop me.” ‘95’ is quickly becoming the “Fuck a Slave Job” anthem of 2018 with its super catchy hook. “I was born in 95 but I’m... but I’m screaming man fuck a 95! Fuck a slave job I’d rather hit the game and fucking grind! You ain’t doing what you love then you only wasting time.” Every bar said you can feel the annoyance Tehondi feels rapping about this topic. In just one verse, Tehondi is able to explain his hate for slave jobs, why they aren’t worth it, and how he’s planning on building his wealth. “Opportunities I snatch them bitches up like lose squares // Tryna get my net worth looking like Jay Z and Blue yea” He name drops multiple high level artist he plans to match in wealth like XXXTentacion, J Cole & Logic.
Tehondi actually lives his raps for real. A week prior to dropping 95, Tehondi quit his 9 to 5 job to focus on releasing the Hiatus Days Over album. “There is a major difference between a 9 to 5 and a real job. If I ever work a job it’s going to be something I love doing & it has to be able to provide all the money I need to chase my dreams. My last job was $13 an hour. I’m not accepting anything less 50K up moving forward!” Being an Honors graduate from Jackson State University who has managed to build up his whole career on his own, that should not be a problem for him. Tehondi advises people to live their dreams NOW and think outside the box on how to do it.
