Blxst on Going Independent, the "Die Hard" Kendrick Story, & More

Description

It's been two years since Blxst dropped a full-length project. Now, he's back with 'Labor of Love,' his new album fully produced by himself. The LA rapper, singer, songwriter and producer joins Rosecrans Vic, Jeff Weiss & Mz.Free on the Truth Hurts podcast to break down his creative vision behind 'Labor of Love,' and why it's the most vulnerable he's ever been. He opens up about his life, explaining how fatherhood helped him find himself, and how he's changed since we last heard from him. Blxst also traces his origins as a producer, telling the stories behind hit songs like "Chosen," working with Kendrick Lamar, and wanting to become the next Raphael Saadiq or Quincy Jones. He also touches on the controversy surrounding P-Lo producing a beat for Drake, and why he'd probably do the same if the opportunity presented itself. 👍 Make sure you hit that like and subscribe button and leave a comment letting us know what you thought about the show! 👍 00:00 New album - Labor of Love 5:00 Producer origins 9:50 Writing hooks 11:30 Early music inspirations 14:40 Making hits like Chosen 17:30 Vulnerability on his new project 18:45 Becoming a father 20:30 Features on the album 21:25 Wisest advice he ever received 22:35 Taking a break from music 25:53 Drake v.

Cash Cobain

Cash Cobain, the King of Sample Drill, joins Jeff Weiss & Mz.Free in LA for a conversation about his art and life on The Truth Hurts podcasts. Cash Cobain was born in the South Bronx, the same place as hip-hop. He grew up in the 50 Cent era, taught himself to make beats in FL Studio at age 9 and started recording songs when Pop Smoke was changing the face of New York. Now, his original sound defines the city. Inspired by Drake and Future, with a simplistic, minimalist spin, Cash Cobain says he makes songs because “I want people to dance and feel sexy.” He likes having a good time. Even the studio sessions are a party. His beats draw from whatever sample gives him that mood. He chops up everything and lets his label deal with the clearance formalities. He says, “I’m not emotional. Beats will make me cry, though.” He also claims “Everything in life is based on a woman,” and uses his lyrics to describe his encounters and desires with specific females. He breaks down his approach to writing about women, and how his lyrics could be misconstrued. Cash Cobain also tells the story of going to the studio with Justin Bieber to lay down his verse on “SWAG,” recording his hit song “fisherrr,” and working with Ice Spice and PinkPantheress. Make sure you watch to see exactly why he’s so afraid of aliens, and why someone in this podcast studio could, in fact, be a shapeshifter from another planet. 00:00 Intro 00:40 Upbringing in the South Bronx 1:30 50 Cent 2:37 His first beat pad 4:48 Sampling off Youtube 5:08 Household 7:00 South Carolina 9:50 Drake 11:20 Favorite producers & rappers 14:47 How he started producing 16:10 Jersey Club 17:12 I Wanna Rock 19:29 Transition to rapping 20:19 Cash Cobain name 21:14 2016 through popping off 23:00 Pop Smoke 25:10 Finding his style & rap inspiration 26:45 Women 31:43 SWAG with Justin Bieber 34:14 Navigating the industry 35:45 fisherrr 37:40 Ice Spice and PinkPantheress 38:45 Artists he imitated when he was young & becoming original 40:15 What inspires him 42:00 Sampling 45:03 Slizzy 46:06 Aliens 49:50 Famous woman face 52:42 New album 54:04 Lightning Round 👍 Make sure you hit that like and subscribe button and leave a comment letting us know what you thought about the show! 👍 📧 Email thetruthhurts@powmag.net for sponsorship opportunities. 📧 🎤 The Truth Hurts is hosted by Jeff Weiss, Rosecrans Vic, & Free 🎤 Follow The Truth Hurts on all Platforms Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetruthhurtspod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@truthhurtspodcast Twitter: https://x.com/Truth_Hurts_Pod Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1BjMCTIiweZdCyT3DyseJt Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-truth-hurts-w-jeff-weiss-rosecrans-vic-and-free/id1813226752 #cashcobain #drake #future #50cent #popsmoke #nyc #newyork #drill #sample #rapper #la #hiphop #music #interview
