Skater rapper Soulja Boy has opened up a new online program called Rapper University, giving aspiring artists a chance to learn how to step into the music scene and build their own path as rappers.
The announcement is already getting attention in both skateboarding and hip-hop scenes, especially among skaters who are also working on music.
The idea behind Rapper University is pretty straightforward.
It is designed as a place where upcoming rappers can submit themselves for review and potentially get accepted into a learning setup focused on music development, branding, and content creation.
To apply, participants need to complete a simple admissions challenge.
The requirement is to upload a one minute YouTube video explaining why they should be enrolled in Rapper University.
After that, applicants must paste the video link into the application form. That’s the main step needed to get considered.
The concept is already catching attention among skateboarders who have been mixing skating clips with music uploads online.
Names like Jereme Rogers, Dashawn Jordon, David Gonzales, Cyril Jackson and Jordan Maxham are often brought up when talking about skaters who crossed into rap, and now there’s a new route for others who want to follow a similar path.
Rapper University is not framed like a traditional school.
It leans more toward an online submission-based program where personality, creativity, and presentation matter as much as musical skill.
For many skaters who already document their lives through videos, the process may feel the same thing.
We are about to see how the program develops and what kind of opportunities it could lead to for those selected.
