What's up Leafers? Welcome to the latest edition of On the Rise where we interview upcoming hip hop talent. Today's guest is hip hop artist, Day Tyme. Day Tyme is an artist straight out of Park Hills, Missouri. Day Tyme's style is a mix of gritty and Melodic . He has anthems for the ladies such as "Another Sad Song" but he also has hard hitting bops such as "Cake Maker". Day Tyme is also a unique artist because he is one hundred percent blind which the MC says does not slow him down one bit. When listening to Day Tyme it's easy to see that he's a talented MC whose drive is going to take him far. We were fortunate enough to link up with Day Tyme recently to discuss his music and life. Check out the interview below.
