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 😅💚
Vlad figured out Blxst not a gang member and didn’t even wanna interview him anymore.

He's so humble, of course your worthy of a Vlad interview, one of the dopest artists on the west coast
No gang + no crime = short interview.

He's a smart man, he owns his rights to his music.
Brother was not in a Gang . Grew up with good parents . Great grandparents. Graduated high school . Interview was over . He doesn’t fit the “ narrative “ that’s being pimped

INLAND EMPIRE WE ON THE MOVE
I was raised a Jehovahs Witness after my parents murder suicide. As an adult. I appreciate the ability it gave me to focus on one thing at a time. 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.
He grew up in my same neighborhood in L.A.
That man produces is the key keep his music nice and smooth which is why he's never put out some wack shit he's putting shit he's putting the pieces together like a puzzle
Damn I didn’t realize Jazze Pha produced I Don’t Wanna, I thought Timbaland produced that too! 🤯
His music speaks for itself no need for the gimmicks NONE OF THE NONCRIMINAL INTERVIEWS LAST LONG 😂😂😂😂
Blxst bino drakeo the ruler need a joint together!
Yo this ninja is fire.
7:02 To each his own Vlad but I think you need to go back and listen to that catalog back again
Aye Blxst, it's here. That moment vlad talking about. You crossed over. Go crazy then go crazy some more the world listening.

Interview Wallie The Sensei
1st thing I ever agreed with vlad is nipsey and Dom Kennedy song are the greatest
Wake It Up and Savage Hardest Beats. Similar Sound
Where can I find that shirt blxst has on what brand is that?
IE!!!!
I like him, but I’d like to see him open up a little more. He seems a little reserved. His responses were short and sweet which doesn’t make for a great or very interesting interview, however, I absolutely loooove his sound/ music and Bino Rideaux❣️
My nigga got the ben Davis shirt lol big up blxst
I never knew blxst was from Cali
Anyone know where the shirt from?
