Blxst on Growing Up Around Crips & Bloods, Meeting Nipsey, Songs with Russ & Mozzy (Full Interview)

Ойын-сауық

In this VladTV exclusive, rising L.A. artist Blxst sat down and described his upbringing in East South Central and the Inland Empire. He said he got into music at 17 and teaching himself how to make beats and record himself on a laptop. Blxst started gaining buzz after producing Kalan.FrFr's "Right Wit It," which led to a musical partnership with Bino Rideaux. Blxst also talked about meeting Nipsey Hussle and recalled the atmosphere in LA after the rapper's passing. He responded to being referred to as the new "hook guy" and welcomed the Nate Dogg comparisons. Blxst also explained why he's not signed to a major label and how he's been able clear popular samples and features as an independent artist. For more, check out the rest of the interview above.

    Blxst one of those artists that got a backbone and refuse to be apart of some bs and rather have worked on music, better than most hip hop artists, we need to appreciate blxst bc it’s very rare to come across a wholesome artist like him 😅💚

My peers didnt understand I didnt think I was any better. I just wasnt allowed to play or hang out with them.... But my Grandmother saw to it, that anything we expressed a desire to pursue. She was ALL OVER making sure we had the tools we needed. For THAT and her never ending love and protection. I will ALWAYS be forever grateful. I LOVE this young mans music.
