New ‘Buzzin’ Interview w/ @LaWebberMusic

Tell us about you and your movement.

I’m a young nigga on the come up going by the name L.A. Webber, bred in Brooklyn, residing out in North Carolina. Tha Riches is the movement. I am who I am, everything you hear me say on a record is me, it’s my life things that I’ve been through, things that I’m going through and the things that I’ve seen coming from where I’m from – the bottom. I’ve been in some of the best situations as well as some of the worse situations. I feel like my music is relatable to everybody whether you work a dead end 9 to 5, in the streets everyday sun up to sun down trying to better your situation or you in the hood fucked wondering what’s next because I’ve been there and those are all things that I talk about in my music – its real life situations.

When did you start to develop your artistry?

I started taking rap serious when I was around 16 or 17 but I always toyed with it coming up, who don’t try to rap at least once in they life [laughs]. At first I did it just to past time and to pour out my emotions. I recorded my first song when I was 16; it was called “Sick Wit It.” I remember it like it was yesterday. I was out in Bushwick (Brooklyn) and my uncle called me like, “Yo I got the studio set up for you, come through.” He taught me all the basics like how to count bars and structure a song. Once a few people heard the song they encouraged me that rap was something I should stick with and I been doing it ever since to the point that I stopped writing and could visualize and memorize everything that I wanted to say with out putting it on paper. I owe all the credit to my uncle though. He taught me everything I know.

Who are some of your musical influences?

I always looked up to people like Hov, Big, Nas and as group I think Onyx was the illest. I respect and admire every artist that’s successful and true to themselves, though what I mean by that is they make the music that they want to make. They don’t follow the trends. For instance when “D.O.A.” came out it didn’t sound like anything that was on the radio and it was basically going against everything that was on radio and it was a banger. That’s the type of shit that I respect. I’m influenced by every artist in the game that makes the kind of music they want to make and win. I think that’s the key to longevity staying true to yourself.

What current projects are you working on?

I just dropped a mixtape called Show You How to Do This with Snatchatape and DJ Backblocks – all freestyles. I’m currently working on a mixtape/street album called Calm Before the Storm with Snatchatape and Superstar Jay which is going to be crazy – its my best work to date and definitely worth checking out. Trust me!

How are you planning to ‘Get Your Buzz Up’?

By just grinding: hard work and good music
