We had the good fortune of connecting with Isreal Porter and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Isreal, what are you inspired by?
I’m inspired by artist like Royce Da 59, Eminem, J Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Jid and Joyner Lucas.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I feel like what sets me apart from other artists is, the want to touch on positive topics that edify the people. I’m mostly excited about the opportunity to release the type of content I vibe with and not being confined to industry parameters. Man it took a lot to get here, and I still have a ways to go, but I’m grateful for everything that happened along the way, and as far as it being unchallenging it was never easy. The way that I overcame the roadblocks was faith, knowing that everyone has their time and that mine was soon coming, and also later on understanding it’s all about mindset. Some lessons I’ve learned were mainly about perseverance regardless of circumstances, naysayers, and non-believers, also I’ve that preparation is vital to success. I just want the world to know from my story that no matter how many people knock you down it’s always beneficail in the long run to get back up and keep pushing.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Well first we would go to pick up some trees lol nah but on a serious note I would mostly likely take them out for drinks and catch up a bit, then we definitely have to go tear the mall up, after that we would probably see what events are popping and head out to the most turnt one of them all.

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 would like to shout out and thank all my fans, I would like to shout out Kid Vishis, I would like to shout out Tiffany Gaines for believing in me and allowing distribution.
