Who Is Corinne Stevie?

Once again, the time has come for Runway Wonderland to promote the incredible linings of the underground world. Last month I was exposed to Miami based artist, Corinne Stevie who's music stands firm against a commercial crowd. My first  experience with Stevie was vibin' to a hook that touched on time travel, which just happened to be on my favorite topics to explore. Outside of her ability to capture me with music, Stevie impressed my concentration by her lyric-matching image. Seizing the opportunity, I managed to cook up an exclusive interview with the artist herself.

Yes I was in the fourth grade and my music teacher wanted our class to write a rap about education for a contest. So I wrote my lil rhyme and I didn't really think nothing of it. But then the next thing I know i won first place. I had to stand up in front the whole school and read my rhymes it was crazy because I was really nervous but I did it anyway and got my prize. For some reason I never forgot the last line of the rap it went something like "Get your education and your degree". Education has has always been an important thing in my family thats why I'm completing school before I really get into my career.
