Where did the name Rismm come about? Well to be exact Rismm Images.Well, I’ve had my name “RISMM” since I was in 6th grade.
It was an acronym that started off as “Rap Is So Much More” but over time, I grew fond of “Reality” in place of “Rap”.
The title “Images” came in when I started on photography.
Naturally, it just stuck with me.

You’re very lyrical which makes you different from alot of other rappers in the San Antonio area. Do you think that can get you farther than most rappers?
If you’re referring to commercial success, no, unfortunately.
The industry is very focused on image and innovation of style.
But as far as my goals go, yes. I think I’m farther than my competition might be.

Do you think you can relate to any mainstream rappers? If so, who and why?
Hip-Hop heads and hipsters are going to hate me for this, haha.
I can relate heavily to Drake. He’s a very honest person when it comes to his emotions and personal life.
I’m the same way. I’m not afraid to let people know how I feel about anything.
Kendrick Lamar is also another artist I can relate to. “Guilty by association, story of my life, nigga.”
You have no idea how much that applies to the me and the friends I grew up around.
I feel like those guys really try to stress that they’re not different from anyone. They’re people just like we are.
I try to paint the same picture. It’s kind of insulting when an artist tries to be ‘above’ his audience, if you get what I mean.
Youre a very sarcastic guy and funny dude you can tell by your songs, bars, and punchlines. Where does your influence for that come from?
Haha, it comes from the group of people I surround myself with, mostly. Sarcasm is our first language, man.
My mom was always really sarcastic, too. You can thank her for that.
People wouldnt see you and think youre a rapper. Have you ever had a crazy encounter with someone reacting to you being a rapper?
All the time. People I was really close to in high school are still shocked that they didn’t know I rapped.
The craziest one had to be at this party me and the squad were at. A group of guys were rapping, drunk, of course.
Topik was ripping it up with them and he passed it off to me. The guys freaked when they figured out that I could not only rap, but I did it pretty well.
It’s a common misconception. Shit, I was wearing my Rocko’s Modern Life shirt, Jordan shorts, and flip-flops. I don’t blame them for not knowing, haha.

You’re also a photographer/filmer/editor/director/graphics editor. You’re a busy dude. Where do you find time to do all that?
I’ve never been too big on parties or going out, so I have all that time to dedicate to my work.
I’m not the type to rely on anyone else to get something done either. I’d rather have full control of creativity on my projects.
I kind of HAD to learn if I wanted my expression on everything I do, you know?

What made you take music serious?
My team. Seeing them want it just as me made me realize that I had to stop bullshitting.
They’ve been here through my struggles, so it’s only right I repay the favor by taking this serious.

Who are your influences and why?Kendrick Lamar has really inspired me to be myself and expand my mind. The dude is a monster with this music shit.
Jon Connor gave me some really good advice about the music industry and how to approach rapping.
Some others that help me with my writing and ideas are people/bands like Bjork, Portishead, Question, Murs, Frank Ocean, etc.
I have 100s of influences I could name, but it’d take forever. Haha.

Ever get compared or put in a certain category you don’t want to?Not really. Music is subjective and can be taken millions of ways to the listener and that’s the type of music I aim to make.
I want people to have an opinion on it that’s based on what THEY hear. Not what someone else tells them.
So when I get called a “punchline” rapper or a “conscious” rapper, I take it the same way. I like when people analyze me.
It’s cool to know they pay so much attention to someone who hasn’t even ‘made it’.

Any new projects or plans?I recently released the 3rd installment to the Selfish Contribution series, Distorted Visions.
It’s a pretty cool tape. A lot of different types of songs and shit.
I’m currently working with Bam on getting “Bear With Me” 100% complete and
Topik’s “Off The TOP” should be out around the 27th. Bobby’s World 2 and The Bear Tape are also in the works.
The rest is under wraps, but I can assure you, there will be some great work coming out of the forest, man.Any certain work ethics when you write or your in the studio?
I like to make sure everyone, including myself, is staying busy. If you’re not writing, you should be recording.
If you’re not doing one of those, you need to be looking for beats or picking up food for the session, haha.
Nah, but it’s just really important to keep working. If you lose sight of your goal, you’ll never reach it.
Any advice for young artists or any artists pursuing music?
If you’re doing this shit for the fame, bitches, credibility, etc, stop doing it completely.
Those type of attitudes have kept the city hidden for years.
Make sure that you and the people you work with are willing to make sacrifices.
Be consistent, but keep “Quality over Quantity” in mind.
You might have put 6-7 mixtapes out, but if they’re filled with bullshit, no one will care
Don’t take shit from older artists who say you’re not “real” or whatever.
Be yourself and work hard if you really have a passion for making good fucking music.
Other than that, keep a positive and humble attitude. Even at your worst moments.
