Requesting a story about Marsey

Marsey is an American rapper of Mexican descent from Redlands, California. Her stage name is derived from the name of the prescription drug Xanax. Marsey was born on September 6, 1996 in Redlands, California. Growing up, Marsey was poor and lived in motels most of her childhood. She attended Redlands East Valley High School but dropped out of high school in her freshman year and spent several years at home unemployed. Marsey took a job as a street cleaner and sold drugs before she began rapping. Marsey later pursued a photography career in support of several friends who were rappers. She eventually had her camera stolen, and chose to begin rapping in lieu of investing in a new camera. Marsey was formerly addicted to Xanax but she was able to quit the drug after two years of addiction. Marsey began to gain recognition through platforms such as SoundCloud and YouTube. In 2018, Marsey announced that she would change her stage name to "Soren" in order to support her anti-drug message, though she later said in an interview she was not sure if she would change her name. Marsey's music started off as "typical trap" and later shifted towards "a murkier, dream-like sound". The New Yorker has described Marsey as part of a "sad rap" movement. Marsey made headlines in 2018 when she rated the late rapper Tupac Shakur only a "2" [out of 9] and called his music boring. After the incident fellow rapper Waka Flocka Flame claimed on Twitter that marsey is "banned from hip hop".
