Latto, Ludacris and DJ Khaled share advice with new and upcoming rappers on how to succeed with longevity, their thoughts on the new season of Rhythm + Flow and more!
Michael Saponara:
With shows like this, you know, obviously Latto, you won the rap game. What’s the importance for shows like this to exist in, like the digital space now, where it’s a lot different to break artists compared to, say, even 10-20, years ago?
Latto:
I think it gives people, like, an inside look on, like, what really goes into becoming an artist like, I think social media gives this perception, that false perception that you kind of just blow up overnight. And some people are lucky enough to do that, but I think a lot of times I can, I think all three of us can attest that, you know, this is blood, sweat and tears. It’s a lot of being put on the spot and having to, you know, sit down and come up with a plan.
Was there, like, certain things that each of you guys took that you can incorporate into your own artistry that maybe you learned from an artist?
Ludacris:
Hell yeah, I said, as soon as I started doing this, I was like, “It’s so good for me being in the game.” I’m really speaking for so long to get that hunger and energy of when you are trying to prove to the world that you are that f–ker. And I was loving every minute of it, just from that perspective of putting myself in a room full of people that just had so much to prove.
Keep watching for more!
