Blxst Interview | The Truth Hurts | FULL EPISODE

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.
