The rapper who refers to the music he makes as "a melodic mix of emo punk trap" went on to describe his creative process in the simplest of terms. He finds beats, gets them mastered by a producer, and then composes a melody with which he forms a literal and lyrical meaning of a topic through the length of the beat.

"...After, the lyrics are copied on a note pad and I finally head to the recording studio to craft my masters," the rapper explained.

Strides made by Slut Boy Billy so far

While the rapper admits that his foray into music has not been easy, he seems to have made some good strides.
