Welcome to BuzzMusic, YungRep! We loved taking in the laid-back ambiance of "Fuxced Up." What moment or story inspired the creation of this track?
"Fuxced Up" is a song inspired by many moments; in all honesty, but one particular moment is a night I performed at an event where the reception to my music and performance was overly optimistic, and I had a moment of realization. I realized that hard work and genuine love for something fully pay off when you are consistent and persistent. Just give it to the people, and the rest will occur.
You have this undeniable confidence you perform with, enhancing your music's relaxed energy. What moods do you tend to strive for when creating music? What helps you get in this headspace for creation?
I'm always striving to be in a relaxed space. Mary J and a smooth beat, and iim good, lol, but I write when im in a suitable mind space. I wrote "Fuxced Up" while sitting in my car during my overnight shift. The beat is the only thing I need in reality. The beat takes me away, and the writing begins. When writing, I never have subject matters in mind, and I let the beat dictate everything.
If "Fuxced Up" is the lead single on this body of work, we can only imagine the vibes you bring throughout the rest of the project. So what do the rest of the song's on "To The Moon" have to say about its concept?
It's To The Moon….It's the takeoff, going from one place to the next. Life is about growth; we work hard every day to elevate and take this Rap and Blues to another level. This tape is a weed session where we experience a little bit of everything my vices, rights, wrongs, Good Times, Bad Days, Love, Lust Smiles. Overall it's Peace, Love, and Wavy Vibes across this project.
If your audience can take one message away from "Fuxced Up," what would you want it to be?
It's a wavy good time and just a moment. Listen closely, and you’ll get a glimpse into who I be. Listen to the body of work, and you’ll see how this is just a piece of a whole puzzle that you’ll enjoy.
What's next for you?
To continue giving people these Rap and Blues. Painted pictures through visuals for the people so I could give the people all of me.
