I am a big fan of hip hop music. It always wakes me up when I feel tired. I love to work out, so I always listen to hip hop music during my workout. Although I don’t know the names of most of the singers, I still really love to listen to their songs. The rhythm of this music not only takes away my tiredness but also keeps me feeling fresh. I only started listening to hip hop music 3 years ago; before that, I rarely listened to any hip hop song. A Black American friend of mine, who I had worked with for 3 years and who I had also shared the same apartment with, would often listen to hip hop music (Your original sentence was choppy and was a run-on so I merged them all together and added appropriate conjunctions). Since then, I have really liked hip hop, and I still listen to hip hop to this day.
