When Did You Fall In Love With Music (HipHop)?

This is from My brother Smooth

It was a hot summer day, I was 9 years old playing on the porch with my little brother. As usual, my stepmother was playing one of her records and singing her heart away. This day would be extraordinary; I was about to fall in love with music. With an amazing vocal instrument, the artist belted out the song. She utilized dynamics, which shift from different sonic texture with dexterity from jazz, rhythm and blues, to gospel. The experience was surreal, my body shivered as my temperature erupted, an emotional by-product of what music introduced to the newly captured servant. I was in love with her (Music). With my eyes closed, I swear that every note were tangible. Treble Clef were flying with wings and swirling around my head. The music was lush and the artist's vocal dexterity very well oiled. The song was over and I was still in a daze. As it seems, I could not wait to close my eyes to meet Music, I was captivated by her strength and out of my fondness for her, I began to reciprocate my love in the exact form I was indentured. I melodically pronounced my love. The process was slow and through my rituals of exercise performance, words were beginning to birth out of me and emerged from the darkness of my sleep. I composed my first song to Music when I was 11 years old. Every emotion I had felt during the first phase of the clinical trial of Music was transcribed into the song and followed good clinical practices. I wanted a flow that was unadulterated nor misbranded. I'm so glad I fell in love with you Music; you've been my cornerstone in good time and through my hardships. So, whenever you see me close my eyes, just know that I'm visiting my first love for a close contact with Music, which serves vivid imagery, metaphor and analogy in her interactions with his indentured servant.
So, when did you fall in love with Music (hiphop)?
