Up-and-coming California rapper, Wes Period's full-length debut Pretty Words may have only been out since February, but he's been an underground sensation far longer. Traveling on tour with Kesha and Macklemore through the summer was a "learning experience, being able to watch people at that level move every day," he told the Recording Academy, emphasizing how well the stars treat everyone on the road. "I'm really grateful that I got to start off the road with veterans like that because I feel like there's so much for me to soak up."
