Meet A.B. Raps | Artist & Songwriter

We had the good fortune of connecting with A.B. Raps and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi A.B., why did you pursue a creative career?
It really wasn’t a choice, it became an expensive hobby at first and transitioned into a lot of great opportunities. Music was always something that i loved so it feels amazing to get any kind of payment or recognition for the music that i create.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
For a local Hip-Hop artist in Houston, Tx. You are expected to have the sound we all grew up with and still love to this day. But having different influences from friends and family made me obsessed with rap music and sent me into the deepest rabbit hole as a kid. The more i listened the more i learned. Grew up and discovered my own sound and as i still grow and study, i am now in a place of comfort with my talent and know exactly what i want to do creatively wether it be a long term goal or an idea for a single release. There are plenty of challenges that comes with being a parent and blue collar worker, but for some reason, i feel as if im already living my plan B to help fund my plan A. It’s only a matter of time.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Houston is a beautiful and diverse city. There are plenty of food options and night life spots to visit and have a good time. 8th Wonder Brewery is a perfect spot to begin with for a chill night and has plenty of surrounding places if you want to keep exploring the night.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’ve made plenty of great acquaintances along the way, but i don’t think i would have started pushing my music career if it weren’t for my fiancée and my brother Ed. The enthusiasm my kids show for my music also helps me to keep creating and performing.
