Everything You Need To Know About Loudmouf
Loudmouf is an artist born and raised in Chicago, IL.His upbringing and surroundings were filled with struggle, drugs, gangs, daily shootings etc… Which is why music was his vehicle of choice to getting out of that environment.He is the child of the foster system since his biological parents had their own demons to fight and couldn’t provide the life a newborn deserved.
Loudmouf didn’t get to meet his biological sisters until the age of 7 years old. He bounced from home to home by himself for quite some time. He then landed in the house that he would soon leave, being 1 of 12 crazy children that lived under the same roof not even including his foster parents.
They were all significantly different and had their own separate demons to battle, their own fights, their own dreams. Which wasn’t the best environment to prosper in this world.He doesn’t remember ever having his own bed for the majority of his upbringing. There were so many people coming and going from his home of 14 that it was difficult to even get a minute of alone time.
At times, Loudmouf felt like his older brother Big Ro, was the only person to raise and care for him up until he left for college. One by one Loudmouf’s siblings left him alone in that house to fend for himself against a foster father who battled substance abuse.
Music took him away from the daily trials and tribulation with taking multiple buses just to get an to and from school to get a proper education.
Once he turned 16, he made the brave decision to leave the terrible place he called home, behind for good.
Loudmouf decided to join the Marine Corps, it was his way of leaving with a guarantee of belonging to something bigger than himself, a true brotherhood.
There was nothing left for him in the city of Chicago and he knew that for a long time before acting on his instincts.
The military took him around the world to places such as California, Florida, North Carolina and then overseas to Japan.
While in Japan, he created “Freestyle Fridays” as an outlet for all upcoming artists to collaborate and get their music heard.
DJing stateside and overseas definitely shot him further into music, from spinning old school hits inside of the nightclubs to new upcoming artists that no one had ever heard of.
Music always tells a story and Loudmouf has always had the gift of listening to what the artist has to say and what they are trying to get the listener to envision.
Once he returned stateside to California, he began to work with “Unkle Bump” for a short period of time, but that opened his eyes to what he was truly meant to do his whole life.
It was time to let his very own voice be heard, tell his story to the world, and let the listeners get the full scoop into his life journey.
He’s not just a rapper, He’s a prolific storyteller and everything he makes has a story and an even deeper meaning behind it.
Loudmouf’s entire life was filled with people who wanted to be inside of the music industry, He remembers listening to Mano and Rosco Dash every morning.
Music has always been an outlet for him because his childhood reality was hard and consisted of an environment filled with drugs, and crime, all around the city of Chicago.
Once he wrote his first song, it all began to make sense, everything had finally come full circle for Loudmouf.

Lisa Jo turns feeling unseen into self-acceptance with latest release “Oddball Gem”
Lisa Jo captures that feeling of being outside the crowd in “Oddball Gem.” The song is about feeling invisible, misunderstood and determined to be yourself. The emotional core is visceral. So many thoughts, not enough words, the draining effort of trying when the fight still feels unfinished. The writing gives you that feeling, makes isolation a familiar, personal thing.
The song then moves to images of becoming ‘a shadow’ and ‘a ghost’ before arriving at a stronger sense of identity. The emotional feeling of not fitting in is at the heart of this song, with the lyric “I was built this way” changing the tone from pain to self-acceptance.
“Oddball Gem,” is a declaration from someone learning to stand comfortably in their difference. The line “I don’t fit in I’m an odd ball gem” is a direct and memorable encapsulation of what the song is all about. Lisa Jo turns that feeling of being left out into a portrait of individuality. She provides the track with an emotional message of staying true to yourself when belonging seems hard today.

Temidayo Balogun bridges tradition and modern expression on latest release “Ori I “Concept of Democracy”
Temidayo Balogun‘s latest release, “Ori I “Concept of Democracy,” blends African musical traditions with contemporary jazz to explore identity and community. “Talking drums, native instruments, but there are also passing notes on the piano and a saxophone for another dimension to the musical language,” the song is characterized by.
The track isn’t rooted in one musical planet, but in the relationship between its different elements. Talking drums are part of African musical traditions. The piano and saxophone add a jazz-oriented dimension. That contrast lets the song explore its themes of identity and community as much through sound as concept.
If you like genre-bending work, “Ori I’ Concept of Democracy” is a thoughtful musical experience. Temidayo Balogun mixes indigenous instrumentation with contemporary jazz textures to keep the focus on the relationship between people, culture, and community. The track works because the sounds come together. It invites the listener to dwell on the musical ideas rather than just pass through them.
