We recently had the chance to connect with CUA Reaper and have shared our conversation below.
CUA , we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
Energy. It’s revealing, infectious, and can either attract or repel. It’s very important to vibrate at your highest frequency to attract the greater version of yourself and your loved ones and to also repel your most negative parts of yourself.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m CUA Reaper , CEO and Founder of Come Up Association and Flurry Family. I operate in the gray area of the universe and connect black and white through multimedia and literature. Whether that be through music, film, text, etc. I specialize in reality rap where I give an honest and vulnerable perspective of the way humans interact socially and day to day in reality. The good, the bad, the ugly. CUA FF focuses on showing how any and everyone could make the best of their situation and overcome anything in their way just focusing up keeping your composure and your faith in the right place which allows you the ultimate confidence and feeling of safety no matter the situation.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
Being depended on, seeing that others showed up not for themselves at times but just to show up alongside myself meant a lot to me early on. I prided myself on being an unshakeable, unbreakable, structured pillar since very early. Seeing people you respect listen and bolden up off of the words you speak and realizing the energy you speak with translated throughout people made me a leader at a very young age.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
When I realized everyone had skeletons in their closet and some of em were much older and bigger and more humbling than mine. I realized owning mine and putting it on the floor to begin with just make it smaller to step over. I used to be ashamed of my pain till I realized somebody been through it before me and got through it, some got through even worst. It’s just part of the human experience no one’s above it.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
I’ll be able to amass generational wealth off of my art without sacrificing or selling my soul.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: Are you doing what you were born to do—or what you were told to do?
I was born to create and influence.
