Oschino opens up about his journey in the rap industry, highlighting the intensity of his dedication. Initially embarrassed to admit he rapped, particularly in his hometown of Philly where it wasn't the "cool" thing to do, Oschino eventually embraced his craft wholeheartedly. His enthusiasm led him to seize every possible opportunity, even ones with slim chances of success. Oschino narrates an episode where he drove six hours to Boston just for a fleeting chance to present his rap skills to Jay-Z. Accompanied by his manager, they caught Jay-Z for a mere 40 seconds before he left. Despite this brief interaction, Oschino didn't regret the effort, seeing it as a testament to his hunger for success. However, he later discovered Jay-Z didn't remember the encounter. Reflecting on the past, Oschino contrasts the hustle required back then with today’s internet-age conveniences, emphasizing the grit needed to make it in the pre-digital era.
