Building My First Headline Rap Show From Zero (Week 1) #rapper #MentalHealth #Vlog
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video documents the creator's intense journey on day five of building his first headline rap show, known as the "Energy Experience," from absolute zero resources. Despite facing significant hurdles such as having no venue, no audience, no sponsors, and no money, the creator refuses to wait or give up. Instead, he pivots to a live approach, successfully selling over 24 tickets worth more than $500 and securing support for mental health awareness among athletes through a partnership with Eric from Same Here Global. He also announces his first sponsor, marking a crucial turning point that validates his vision even in the face of overwhelming odds.
Central to this endeavor is a philosophical shift away from traditional hustle culture toward a mindset rooted in joy and human connection. The creator describes the event as a unique fusion of Tony Robbins' transformative energy and Little Dicky's rap style, aiming to bring people together who share the same intention to raise their collective energy. He emphasizes that many people feel like they are "dying inside" due to a lack of aliveness, and his goal is to counteract this by fostering genuine community and fun. This event represents his life's calling, driven by the belief that following one's joy offers a higher ceiling for success than mere survival or fear-based motivation.
The narrative also delves deeply into the creator's internal emotional landscape, where he grapples with intense fear, self-doubt, and the physical toll of stress, illustrated by a moment where his dog Coco slips on cracked floors. He acknowledges that while the situation feels insane and like he is going off his path, it is actually a necessary evolution fueled by an unknown but exciting future. He consciously works to observe these fears as separate from his true self, allowing emotions to move rather than stagnate, and challenges viewers to choose between playing to win or playing not to lose. By recognizing that the survival mind defaults to expecting failure, he encourages everyone to say "yes" to the possibility of success.
Ultimately, the video serves as a raw testament to the difficulty and beauty of starting something new while managing mental health challenges like ADHD and the pressure of constant digital communication. The creator apologizes for delayed responses to messages, attributing it to being overwhelmed by screens and the need to breathe, yet he remains grateful for every comment and like that amplifies his energy. He frames this chaotic journey as proof of what happens when one follows their gifts, inviting others to join a movement that prioritizes feeling alive over maintaining a facade of perfection. Through documenting these struggles and triumphs live, he hopes to inspire others to embrace their own potential and find relief in authentic human connection.

We got no venue.
>> It's so hard.
>> We got no people. We got no sponsors. We
got no money. The only thing to do
Maybe I should wait to do it. it.
We're doing it live.
Day five, where we at?
All right. Sold over $500 worth of
tickets. That's 24 tickets. We talked to
my boy Eric today from Same Here Global.
So, we now are supporting his mental
health awareness for athletes. It's
incredible.
Also, I talked to my first sponsor.
Hello.
For real? Yes. Yes, I'm in. Let's do it.
And if you're feeling the energy and
want to support more, too, hit me up.
I'm also at Primal Moves right now, an
insane space that may be the home of the
Energy Experience.
What do you get when you mix Tony
Robbins with Little Dicky? You get
Energy Steeve.
Throwing the first-ever transformational
rap experience. I'm calling it the
Energy Experience, and I need every
single one of you to make this happen.
This is my dream. This is my calling.
This is what lights me up the most, and
that is the intention of this event, to
be so lit up by what is calling me, my
gifts, that every one of you energy
freaks comes out to experience it and
raise that energy together. Because
coming together in a room with other
people with the same intention is how we
make real change. So, I am documenting
this journey every step of the way live.
I want this to be proof of what happens
when you follow your joy. Forget the old
grind and hustle culture because joy has
a higher ceiling. Too many people are
not feeling alive. They are dying
inside. And so, I want to bring back
human connection. I want to bring back
simply having fun. So if you want to be
one of the first to experience this
event,
join me live and we were going to start
a movement together. This robot needs
Look at this. Hold on.
Go ahead, Coco. Up. You all right? There
you go. All righty. Up. A lot of cracks
in the floor, huh? Almost got it. There
he goes. Bye, Coco. It's so hard. It's
simultaneously so hard and the only
thing to do. So it's like part of me is
like I can observe the fear and it's not
even me. And I actually see how it's
perfect that the body feels a lot and
the fear is a lot and the mind is afraid
and but I know it's happening perfect.
So then also it makes it feel insane the
third party. But I want these emotions
to move too. I don't want them to be in.
I want them to be moving. So I have to
let it out. And like feel it all. As
exciting as all of this is, it's also
one of the hardest challenges of my
life. It feels like I'm going the
craziest. It feels like I'm going way
off my path, but in truth it's because I
just have no idea where it's going. But
it lights me up more than anything. So
the energy of the day is are you
believing in things working out, going
well, or are you looking at things
failing? Are you playing to win or
playing not to lose? Because them going
well and working out are just as
possible as things not working out. But
the survival mind is defaulting to
things not working out. So notice when
you're doing that and say yes to the
possibility. Every comment and every
like amplifies my energy and I
appreciate you guys more than anything.
Go listen to my music.
>> I'm sorry, but life is a lot. I know you
get it, but that's not your problem. I
saw your messages and couldn't reply in
the moment I meant to, but then I
forgot. Swear that deed that is on me.
So many screens, ADHD. I need to
breathe. I need the relief. Wait, I like
this recipe.
Think I'm a wreck and can't even
pretend. Why do we need human
connection? Chad is becoming my best
friend. Dudes follow my wife fat.
Pilates girls with these life hacks. I'm
a big fan but I don't say nothing. I
just double tap cuz I'm life fat. Do you
like that? Probably not. Losing my
confidence starting the clock and
sitting in bed when I'm commenting
blocked in. AI telling me I'm toxic.
This is all new to us. This is a
universe right in the palm of our hand.
I hope you all understand. Give me one
more chance.
>> I'm
so sorry for not replying you.
>> I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
