July 25th - 3VAN's first message
Hello to everyone who might be reading this for the first time! This is 3VAN, but you already know that ;). I had this crazy idea, to maybe start up a blog and just update with stuff that I'm feeling every once in a while. I might even answer your questions, if you happen to have any as well. If you want to ask us at EV3 any questions at all, hit the DMs of the manager of EV3 records at the link below:

I'm gonna get a question off my chest that I asked earlier off of my chest, and the question asked came from one of our most loyal followers and friends of the group, Calin aka Lil Fanta aka Fantaastic:
Actually, I've been meaning to answer this question officially for a long time now. Here it goes.
VABOOLAL, 3VAN and KRIBY are ALL THE SAME PERSON!!
Crazy, huh? Let me explain this a little bit.
I've stuck with the Vaboolal name since 2016, when I first started recording my own songs, and this was the name I wanted to blow up on.
I got the name of 3VAN back in March of this year, when my friends started calling me that as a joke, and eventually I thought to myself, 'hey! That's a pretty cool name (better lock it down before someone steals it hehehehe)!" If I ever contribute anything other than what I normally contribute (wink wink) to a track, I'd probably credit myself as 3VAN, unless I made the beat.
The name 'Kriby' has survived the longest of them all. I spelled 'Kriby' (you know, the loveable pink puffball) wrong and got 'Kriby.' I started using that as my name online when I played video games, and I never really took it seriously. When I wrote 'HERE COMES THE NIGHT,' it didn't feel like anything a Vaboolal would write. Also, since I wrote it based off of a song from Splatoon 2 (judge later, read NOW), I figured I'd revive the old title. There's more secrets behind that name, but I need stuff to talk about for another day ;).
To sum it up, I never really was able to stick with one name for myself. I think it's cool to have aliases, it's almost like I'm a different person but at the same time, I'm myself (judge later, read NOW)! Besides, a lot of other famous rappers also use aliases. Nicki Minaj donned the alter ego of 'Roman(???)' for a while, Eminem jumped to 'Slim Shady' occasionally, and the most recent example of J. Cole spitting fire as 'KiLL Edward' on KID. Just like that, you learned something new today!!
To end off this blog, I'm really looking forward to being able to write out my feelings somewhere I can look back at them all the time. I really hope that you, the audience, continues to keep up with my music, music videos and blogs, as I think you'll get to know me and what goes on in my crazy brain better. Also, I'm not an english major. You'll excuse me if I start a sentence with 'and' every once in a while. Anyways, thanks for reading! ~ 3VAN
