No Jumper coolest podcast in the world. And today we got one of the hottest names coming up out of LA right now, Blast. How you feel, man? Feeling great. Then you said hottest in LA? That's crazy. I mean, it's early, but I'm very optimistic.

And it's crazy because I was having a phone call with a DJ Head last night. He was saying the same thing. He's like, that's the first artist that I ever interviewed and I just tried to sign him immediately. Absolutely. Shout out DJ Head, a good mentor. Always giving me games.

So yeah, shout out, bro. Right. So how do you feel like? Where do you feel like you're at in your career? Because it's kind of crazy because you, you know, you're like a relatively new name, but you're all of a sudden making like big moves and like, you know, like the Mazi video that just came out a few weeks ago is probably the most views you ever did on a song. And that's got like a few million already.

How is it feeling? How are you sort of taking in all this new energy you're getting from people? Man, honestly, it's been like a snowball effect as of recently since I put out my project. No Love Lost. It's been crazy. Like a lot of people that I looked up to as a young age. been showing love tapping in. So, yeah, I just use it as fuel and motivation and just keep going. Definitely. It's cool, too, because it's nice to see somebody getting attention out of L.A.

That doesn't really have any kind of gimmicks going on or any sort of weird shit. A lot of people are using stuff besides music to get attention, and it doesn't feel like you're really all that interested in that? Nah, yeah, I'm strictly about the music. I'm real simple, quality over quantity. So I'm always in the studio, always trying to become the best version of myself. So you're from L.A. from a young child? Talk about where you're from exactly. Absolutely.

I'm from South Central, L.A. grew up in my grandparents' area, 75th and Central. But I went to high school and an IE also. Oh, really? That's where my dad stayed. Oh, so you would go out there during the week to go to school? Yeah. You would have bus all the way to the IE every day, would you?

No, I stayed out there with my dad for like a minute. So I would always be back and forth to LA and the IE. Right. Okay. So do you feel like that gave you a different perspective? Were the kids out there totally different than the kids you were around on the block? Hell yeah. The school system was different.

It was more strict. And then, but also it was like I was to myself a lot too because I don't really know nobody out there. Right. But it was cool. Like that's what got me into music, like just being able to isolate myself and learn shit at a quicker pace. Right. Because it was nothing else outside to do. That's kind of crazy.

I feel like it's such a consistent thing with people that speak to that it feels like the people who blow up a lot of times or become like really great artists or whatever. So often are people who are maybe from the hood or from a certain area. But then that like whatever the situation is in their youth, they end up being exposed to like different ways of life early on. You feel like that going to the I.E. And sort of like having, you know, a different experience than a lot of the other people that are from the same area they're from might have like made you more of an artist or made. you more prepared for it yeah i would for sure say it gave me a different perspective like my sister when we stayed in when we stayed in south central she got jumped so my mom was like i'm not having i was the only boys so she was like i'm not having you go to high school out here that's when i'm

moving my pops and i would say it definitely gave me a different perspective because i start skateboarding and shit like shit that i normally wouldn't do in the hood you know what i'm saying so yeah gave me a different look on life that's interesting do you think the i you deserves the hate it gets So didn't Tyler the creator have a super viral tweet about the IE a few years back and everybody was all fucking riled up about it? I forget exactly the way I said. I think he was shitting on. He's like, motherfucker, say they're from L.A., but they're from the IE or something like that. And every person I know from the IE was like, oh, I got to defend the Inland Empire, man.

Shit, I mean, no comment on that. Shout out to my niggas in Upland, you know what I'm saying. I went to Upland High, so. Okay. But yeah, I'm from L.A., that's how I put it. Right. Yeah. So you were making, so you really got into making music when you were out there just because you sort of,

had more time to yourself. Right. It was like a situation to where I was bored and just willing to learn anything. So I was on YouTube just figuring out how to make beats or how to record myself. And I fell in love with like graphic designing. Like, you know, shit you wouldn't normally do if you was outside. Like I had the time to do it because I had that time on my hands. No, I love that.

When I heard you saying that in another interview, I was like, man, that's so cool just because I feel like a lot of people sort of miss out on that, that there's so much value to be had. if you can learn every other step of the process of making a record. And, like, you started making beats. You started doing Photoshop and figuring out how to edit and make your own videos and shit. Right, yeah. So I do a lot of my post-production, too, to this day. Right.

Yeah, actually, Head, when I was on the phone with him yesterday, he's like, he's the only artist I've seen since Thai Dahlia sign that's really, like, in touch with how to do so many different parts of the recording process, which I thought that was a pretty big compliment, because everybody who's ever been around Thai when he makes music always says He's like one of the most talented like overall dudes. Yeah, no, that's the fact. Shout out tired, too.

That's one of my short inspirations. Definitely. So did you get wrapped up and like getting in trouble while you were in L.A. or anything? Or did you manage to kind of keep your nose clean? You're not that kind of kid? I mean, when you were younger, of course, like just trying to figure out life and shit. I was just running around with the hummies. Like when I think about me being little, I think about me just riding on bikes,

throwing rocks at cars and just doing dumb shit, fighting with neighbors. And, but yeah, I mean, as you get older, you, you start learning, like, territories you're not supposed to be in. And, yeah, I mean, but also, my mom was very strict, though, at the same time. Like, she always stood on integrity. So she always instilled that in it. So I always knew my limits at the end of the day. Mm. Yeah.

So you never really felt too tempted to sort of go down a different path? Were you, like, a good kid in school and shit like that? Were you focused in that regard? I was a class clown for sure. Yeah, I would say that. I actually went to continuation school in 10th grade. But it was honestly because I broke my ankle skateboarding. Oh, real?

So, yeah, I didn't want to crutch around school. So I was like, man, fuck this shit. I'm not going to school. And then I was like, I was loan credit, so I had to go to continuation school. Right. Which was cool for me because continuation school is like, yo, your period is a shorter, but you get quicker credits. Right.

You know what I'm saying? So, yeah. Do you, have you left the skateboarding behind at this point? Absolutely. Yeah? I mean, I still fuck around a little bit, but, yeah, definitely in the past. Did you ever feel like you were really talented at that? I really thought I was.

Like, I was hitting rails and stairs and all kind of shit. Yeah. So. That's up. But at a certain point, the music just took over? Yeah, it took over for sure. I feel that. How did you, like, figure out your style?

Like, when you first started making music, you think you were going to be a rapper and then you sort of happened upon singing or whatever your style is now? I was really just experimenting with everything. Even early on, I was singing. A lot of people don't know. And then I just fell in love with like wordplay, like lyrics and rapping and stuff. Then I got back on the singing. Like when I was rapping, I was kind of insecure about my like my voice as far as being melodic and stuff. But later down the line, I just felt like my voice developed to where I can find a good pocket. I don't even look at myself as the best singer,

but I look at myself as like a good song creator. I'm saying? Definitely. Yeah. Do you sort of see, do you see what you're doing as being so fundamentally different than what a rapper is doing? Because it feels like these days, like the line

between who I consider a singer or an R&B dude versus a rapper is like, the line just keeps getting more and more blurred because, you know, you got somebody like Polo G who there's a lot of melody in like every verse that he does, but at the same time, he feels more like a rapper. And with you, it kind of feels like structurally,

you know, you're not as like R&B-ish as certain artists, but you're, you know, you're clearly not rapping either. Yeah. I mean, I think that comes a lot with,

what you talk about as well. True. You know, I talk about a lot about, like, relationship shit. So, you know, I mean,

I speak on the street shit, too, but it's really minimal with me on that aspect. Is that just your personality or is that kind of a conscious choice so you make it a certain point where you're like, I want to focus on this side of life.

No, I mean, I just speak about what I know. I'm not going to cap like I'm in the streets every day, you know what I'm saying? But what I am dealing with is relationship problems, you know? So I speak on what I'm dealing with firsthand. Right. And then, you know, as far as other shit I speak on, it's just what I go through on a personal, like struggles as a growing artist or, you know, typical shit.

Definitely. When you talk about relationships, though, are you the type of person who's dealing with a lot of, different girls or are you just like letting one girl break your heart at a time? Nah, I mean, shit. I'm a pretty picky man. I would say that. So definitely speaking on a specific relationship, you know what I'm saying?

And just the challenges that you face when you, when you're trying to create a career for yourself and set goals and accomplish them. But at the same time, trying to balance being in a relationship and being a family man. because I have a son as well. Oh, right. So, yeah, just creating that balance as far as spending time away from my family. That's what most of my content was about in my recent project. Really?

Okay. So, yeah, because, I mean, if you're in a relationship and then you start to go through a lot of serious changes, like what you've been through even just, you know, your career is relatively new. But, like, you know, even just in a short period of time, I mean, your whole life has changed so much. And for a relationship to stay consistent through that, it's going to be extremely difficult for my experience. Yeah, it's inevitable. like it's what come with this shit. That's what I always say.

But it creates good content at the end of the day. So I'm grateful for it. Have you ever been in like a blowout fight where you're like, you know, the girl's crying and you're screaming at the tub of your lungs and shit and you're thinking like, man, this is going to eventually end up in a song. Absolutely. All the time. It crosses your mind.

Okay. All the time. I'll be like, damn, it's going to be a fire ass song. In the middle of the argument, I'll be thinking like of lyrics I could say from this argument. Right. It's fucked up, but it's the, it's the, it's the, true. You think if you were in a perfect relationship where you just weren't dealing with much problems so that you might kind of run dry on shit to talk about your music? That's a fact.

I feel like life gives you experience, you know what I'm saying? So the most fucked up shit you go go through is what people relate to because everybody going through fucked up shit. It's not like everybody's living perfect on every aspect. So yeah, I always look at it like that. Definitely. Who would you describe as like your biggest musical influences throughout your life and even right now. Off the top of my head, I think of Ryan Leslie. Really? Yeah.

Because when I was younger, he had this crazy-ass video on YouTube where he made the beat from scratch, wrote the song from scratch, and it was like early on before YouTube was even, like, popping like that. Right. I was like, damn, like, that shit made me realize it was possible to, you know, be talented in every aspect instead of just one certain, you know, thing.

Right. definitely okay wow so he's like the biggest one that's interesting is anybody more in like the the r&B type category that sort of appeals to you in that regard i'm gonna listen to a lot of to see i don't know if you're familiar or him or not but he's like i can come and do that as i was listening to your new shit i was like man you know what i feel like both of these dudes are kind of realizing like similar things through their music um you asked me like anybody recently yeah just anybody that stands out to you is that sort of has influence is your style? I would say

Ty. Tye's pretty fire. I like, bro. I seen him come up just being from L.A. And I like his growth. I can relate to him a lot. Definitely. I was seeing that somebody said that Kendrick was showing you love. How did that happen?

Oh, that was actually doing a song I produced a minute ago called Do Yo Gutter. It was like a local song, but it went viral. The artist, and his name was J-3 hitter. Compton. Right. Yeah. So he hopped on a remix, Kendrick, YG, and Problem.

Wow. And that was, like, pretty viral around the city, yeah. Oh, that's dope. What, YG has tapped in with you, too. How did that happen? He just tapped in on Instagram. A lot of people just been tapping in, and the DMs, like, bro, I respect what you got going. Let's work on some shit.

Right. Yeah, YG, he invited me to his video shoot with his artist Dace salon. I think that's a name. Yeah, yeah, I interviewed her. She's dope. Yeah, and it was cool vibes. I fuck with YG. He cool.

Right. Yeah, no, Wage's great. Did he try to sign you? I feel like he tries to sign all the popping new talent out here. Yeah, no, he didn't come at me like that. Okay. Did you sign with somebody sort of early on in your career that you're no longer with? I heard somebody tell me that. Yeah, I was a weird situation early on. TIE music. Okay. That was way early on, like fresh out of high school. Really? Yeah. So you somehow got in this group? Were you guys actually friends or did they put you in a group? Yeah, so actually it was somebody I went to high school with. and his sister started a group

and it was a collective of artists like 10 artists Right And yeah that was my first channel of putting out music So we put out a couple projects And it was me and King We was a duo actually And that pretty much taught me the ropes

It just like creating a brand Adding merch to your brand And just releasing music independently Right Were you caught up contractually there for a little bit Being that you signed as a group? No it wasn't nothing crazy No

Okay interesting. So do you, it sounds like you've written for a bunch of people too, though. Like, how did you end up getting into that situation? And does that take away from your focus on your own career ever? Sometimes, like, I feel like you got to be in a certain mode to be willing to give other people your, your art, especially me being in a position. I'm in, like, I feel like I'm a new artist still. Like, I'm still making my first impression. So you don't want to give up all your sauce. but um you know sometimes you got to do what you got to do to get in the gates right yeah because that mazzi song you said that that was originally supposed to be you writing a hook for somebody and

he just fucked with your vocals enough that he just left it on exactly that shit was crazy shout out davo which is mazzi's manager okay because we was doing some writing camps for uh the fast and furious soundtrack wow and then yeah davo he was fucking with me he was just sending me beats like try some hooks for this i did that hook for mazzi mazzi he said he wanted to keep me on there. That's lit. I didn't even meet Mazi up until the point we shot that video. Right.

That's crazy. But when you wrote that song, because sometimes when you write a song, you're thinking from a different perspective, like I think of fucking Yadi writing that Citigurl song that went viral when everybody found out because everybody was laughing at the idea of Yadi writing lyrics as a bad bitch. When you wrote that song, were you not really in any specific mentality, you were writing as if it could have just been you? No, I'm always writing from my perspective, unless it's like specifically told to me like, oh, this is for this artist.

Like, I'm always writing from my own perspective. Right. Yeah, because it must be kind of hard for you. Like, you could write a song and think this is an amazing song. Like, this could be the song that really blows me up. But then also at the same time, that same song, you could sell it to an artist and make a small amount of money right there. And then it's going to pay the rent for a couple months. Yeah.

Versus sitting on that song and just hoping that the public is ready to hear you put that song out, right? Yeah, but I feel like I have that gift to like any song I write, there's some artist, it's some artists out there that can say them same lyrics. Right. Because I feel like my, my lyrics is relatable across the board, no matter what I'm talking about. Yeah, and there's a lot of like the most successful artists that have just written shit loads of songs for people and just we don't know. Like we don't know.

And it might seem unbelievable if we actually knew artists who have like tons of huge records and then find out they actually have 20 other records that they wrote. for other people that were huge hits. Right. Yeah, that's kind of crazy. Okay, so I feel like with this project, though, you went in sort of like a specific direction where you didn't do any features.

You kept it sort of in a very conceptual lane, whereas, like, you've also been doing a bunch of features with rappers and stuff. Does it feel like the project, no love loss is kind of more of a representation of, like, you as an artist, whereas, like, you going and doing features with other artists is kind of a different thing?

Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. It wasn't intentional at first because I was supposed to have Beano on one of the songs. But it just turned out like that. I produced the whole thing. I wrote the whole thing, of course, and I mix everything. But yeah, it just happened like that. Right. No, that's interesting. Do you consider like a concept album? Because there's like a common theme sort of running through the whole thing, like the idea of no love, love, loss, and like the various mean. that they can kind of take on and throughout the project yeah it's definitely a concept album I feel like that's the mode I was in that's the mindset I was in and uh like projects I look up to is is very concept conceptual you know what I'm saying so I'm definitely big on or like that's what I

want to do like in the future as well right it's just sort of like create create like real cohesive bodies of work that feel like they have meaning and more really like you know Because that's eventually how you're going to be judged by, like, you know, when you go to the Spotify of the album music and you see that row of albums and you have real fans who look at each of those projects as this, like, powerful experience that they went through when they first found out about that, that's kind of like the best case thing that people could see from you. Yeah, I like everything to tie into each to each other. You know what I'm saying? One of the persons I look up to is Adam Sandler. Like, it was his YouTube video where it was breaking out every movie and how they tie into it. each other. Right. So like I like breaking down stories and like when fans discover the actual

meaning of shit like that's the type of shit I'm into. Right. Yeah. That's actually really interesting. Adam Sandler man, I grew up on his early shit. I don't know that much about his like latter career but like dude, Billy Madison when I was a kid, that was that was the whole thing and Happy Gilmore and I'm not really sure what the connection is between those two. Yeah, nah, the niggas, he's a goat for sure. I feel like everybody respects Adam Sandler because he's rich as fuck and he still dresses like total shit. The boy is regular. Double Xcel basketball shorts down to his fucking ankles.

And it's just like, damn, like you got millions and millions of dollars and you don't give a fuck. Right. Yeah. So do you drink? Do you smoke? I feel like I didn't hear you really talk about those on the project. So it almost makes me think that you don't. I don't smoke.

I drink occasionally. Right. But I do smoke CBD. Oh, nice. So, yeah, that's something that I got into recently. Actually, it helped me with, like, my anxiety and stuff. Like, I'm not the most social, you know, person, but CBD helps me get through that. What do you, do you vape it?

Or you're like, fuck, I see people rolling CBD blunts of all. Right, yeah, they get the weed. They got buzz, but I'll be smoking the pre-rolls. Really? Yeah. And you like that a lot more than actually getting high? Absolutely. If I smoke some weed right now, I'll be in this bitch tripping.

Yeah. You've been running around acting crazy, or you're just going to be sitting there slumped? I'd just be super paranoid looking around. Right. Thinking he's going to kill me or something. Yeah. Shit, he might. I don't trust him.

No, but that's interesting because, like, me and AD will be doing these live streams where we listen to the fans' music on here. And, you know, I'll roll, like, three blunts, and he'll just be sitting there, like, having a few drinks. And as he smokes weed, like, I will just be watching the effect that weed has on him. And he goes from so loud and crazy and lively to, like, exactly it like changes him so much and it's it's weird because like I don't realize that that's happening to me you smoke weed right I smoke weed but also like don't smoke weed before I do a

podcast because I know what it's going to do to me it's going to make me a little bit too to lay back you know I feel you but so the drinking thing you just is more of a once-in-a-while type thing yeah like I'm a social drinker or if it's like an event or something I'm not just drinking at the house like I feel that one of my employees him and this girl they just be getting drunk as fuck on stream together and it kind of blows my mind because I feel like... No, not her. I don't know what her and her boyfriend are doing, but...

To me, that's like, if you can get drunk as fuck with the person that you're dating all the time and not end up wanting to kill each other, that's extremely impressive. That's different. Yeah. That's different. That's the challenge. I couldn't do that. Yeah. I'd be mad when... Like, if somebody else's drunk and I'm not junk,

that's the worst. You show up at a party and a bunch of people who are on Coke and drunk as fuck and they're yelling in your... face and you're just like, oh, what are you doing? Like, that's a fact. That's like a pet pee for sure. Definitely. When did you become vegan?

This was like five, six years ago now. Really? Yeah. What caused it? You're just concerned about your health? At first, it was a group thing. Like, all the homies around me, that was like, fuck it, we got to, we're just going going to try some shit on some random shit.

But then when I start doing my, like, history as far as my family health history. A lot of people in my family had heart attacks and was like obese and stuff. So I just took it upon myself to go that route. That's dope. You didn't notice any negative side effects or anything? You've had a fully positive experience with it? Yeah, I mean, the only thing I would say is certain places is bland. Like if you, if you're on the road, of course.

But once you find your little go-to places or if you're cooking for yourself, you're solid. What's your go-to favorite meals? being vegan, like that actually gets the job done? I would say to Beyond Burger. That always comes in clutch. They got the Chipotle, they got the tofu that you can order now, I've seen. Yeah, I'm not really big on the Chipotle tofu, but...

Really? Damn. I'm still Chipole fan, man. I'll never give it up. I love Chipotle, but tofu. Oh, the tofu's not good? Interesting. Yeah. That's what's up. So, you'll probably be on tour

doing all kinds of crazy shit right now if you weren't locked down. Do you feel that? COVID sort of slowing the growth up a little bit. That's the only thing I'm mad at. I feel like it would have been a perfect time to sell out the Roxy or the observatory. And yeah, that's what I'm missing out on right now. Even before this shit, I did a couple shows with Beano and it was different because they knew the words.

Right. So that energy is what I'm missing right now, like from the fans. Yeah, being an up-and-coming artist and going out there and performing your songs in front of an audience that has never fucking heard of you and doesn't know one single word to your songs is like that's a huge part of the trial

by far that you gotta go through to make it as an artist because when you see a really big artist and they're performing and they got everybody screaming the words back in them it's easy to be a superstar then you ain't even got to sing the words

getting through that period where they don't know any of your songs and have you ever seen an artist come out and make the audience love them in the course of one performance that's some of the craziest shit

I've ever seen I've seen that probably like one or two times It's this artist named Tish Hyman. Okay. She got the coldest voice. She's from New York. Fire.

Like, if you hear her scene, you get chills. Really? First time I seen her perform, I was like, damn, that's crazy. But, you know, that's a talent to have stage presence, you know what I'm saying? For people to be that impressed by your talent and your charisma and shit

when they haven't heard the songs before, like even if you don't really fuck with an artist, but you've heard a song 10 times, and they come out and perform that song, but you heard it 10 times, so you kind of know the words. I mean, that is easy to enjoy something when you heard of mad times, you know? Yeah, it's fun. It's fun.

Definitely. So what have you been working on? You just work on music all the time, even though this project just came out, or what's the mentality? Well, right now, I mean, I'm always recording making beats, of course. But right now, I'm focused on a deluxe that I'm going to put out for no love loss. And then I'm going to double back with Bino for the six tape part two. Okay. Yeah.

That's what's up. So, okay, everybody gets to do the deluxe thing these days. that's interesting. How do you look at that though? Is it a way, is it completely change the project, or is it just sort of adding like the extras? Um, I look at it just like listening to my fans. Like a lot of people, of course the EP is short. Right. And typically people don't do a deluxe for an EP. You know what I'm saying? They do it for albums. Right. So being that this is my first solo body of work, a lot of people are tapping in like, yo, we need more music. The song's too short. Why this song not on there?

So I'm going to put some songs that I put out previously that only been on SoundCloud on there. And I'm going to add some features and, yeah, things like that. I'm going to add like four or five more songs. Definitely. Are you, you're not signed right now? Yeah, so I did a partnership with Red Bull. Oh, really? Yeah.

That's interesting. How's that going? It's going great. Shout out Red Bull Records, man. It's lovely. Oh, okay. Because they are the ones who hit me up about you initially. Okay, yeah. But I forgot about it right away because then I mentioned you to AD and AD's like,

oh yeah, he's hard. You got to fuck with him. Everybody, like, I feel like in LA is like the worst kept secret that blast is this new artist that everybody's got to check out. Yeah, I love it. It's crazy because I feel like I'm still an underdog though, you know what I'm saying? But everybody meant showing love. Like, even AD, man, I was supposed to bend do a fucking song with this nigga like six years ago. So the fact that you, oh, he here? Oh, he here? That's crazy. right now oh shit oh that's fire yeah because uh ad actually he always gives me a hard time about like not really appreciating rmb and shit and so he's he's always hit me with his fucking playlist and i'm gonna tell you right now bro i appreciate you having me because i wouldn't even expect to be on

on this type of show you know what i don't know definitely i mean as soon as i realized like oh i could get this interview i was hyped up because i'm like oh no i could see this dude being a fucking huge one of the year too so yeah yeah no i was just super impressed and ad Because he's like a mega, like, closet R&B fan. Like, when you actually figure it out, he's like, for it. Yeah, because he gave me this R&B playlist. And then the third song is like him and Eric Bellinger.

And I'm like, immediately pitcher and I'm like, oh, so this is what you do. You get girls to come over and you put on your R&B playlist. And then by song three, they're like, oh, who's this rapping? Oh, that's me. Yeah, yeah. I'm on this trip too, you know. I'm like, I see that hustle right there. That's interesting.

I thought AD was a gangster. Clearly he's an R&B singer. He is a gangster and a gentleman, apparently. they're saying i heard um okay so yeah what what how long you think it's going to be till those projects are out and for any of your fans uh you got any words in terms of what's on the way yeah so the deluxe drop in late october um the sixth tape part two with beano's no date yet but hopefully it's going to drop end of this year or top of next year shout out to my eagle fans you know what i'm saying uh yeah i'm just i'm in a space where i feel like i'm still making a first

So right now my head is down and I'm just trying to create the best music. So are you the eagle or are your fans the Eagles? Yeah, so it's the brand actually too. Okay. So the Eagle is one of the highest flying birds, but it doesn't fly in flocks. And I look at that as confidence, you know what I'm saying? So my thing is creating a conglomerate full of Eagles where we can all fly solo, but when we come together, we have force.

I like that. Eagles, an impressive bird, man. Absolutely. The traits I really. relate to it. Yeah. Yeah. Got it. All right, yo, I'm very thankful that you came in here. I definitely want to see you and AD link up right here. That's going to be very hilarious to get you guys on camera together, but I appreciate you coming through and looking forward to more music for sure. And appreciate you having me on your platform. No doubt, man. Absolutely. Shout out blast. No
