Boosie Badazz Offers Tips and Mentoring to Budding Young Rap Artists
Recently, Louisiana native rapper Boosie Badazz was present at the 2023 BET Hip Hop Awards. During the event, he was asked to provide advice to other rappers on how to have a long-lasting career in the industry. Boosie’s guidance was simple and clear: possessing talent is essential, and survival is paramount.
“To maintain your longevity you can’t get killed,” he began. “So I would tell them to stay out them streets, don’t rap beef with dudes, and stay alive. As long as you got talent, as long as you stay alive it’s a chance. I wouldn’t tell ’em just keep making music and being ignorant and trying to be gangsters, you know. I would tell them try to stay alive and your talent’s gonna speak for itself. When you do right by people, everything’s gonna fall into place.” Boosie also added, “You just can’t cheat.”
Boosie emphasized the importance of authenticity and not taking shortcuts in one’s career. “I never rapped about people to get where I’m at,” he explained. “So I would tell them, you know, stay real.”
Boosie, with his fair amount of personal disputes in the past, is aptly suited to provide such counsel. His advice is based on his personal experiences and his comprehension of the possible consequences that can result from such scenarios.
In addition to sharing advice with young artists, Boosie has also been proactive in trying to make an impact on the younger generation. Last month, he reached out to Kamala Harris expressing his desire to meet and discuss gun violence. Boosie believes that young people are more likely to listen to his message because they look up to him.
Boosie’s advice for young rappers is simple yet profound: focus on your talent, stay alive, avoid unnecessary conflicts, and stay true to yourself. His words serve as a reminder that success in the industry is not just about making music, but also about making wise decisions and treating people right.

Vento, Ziggy, Hawk & McCarthy Explore Life and Love on “Love, Lust, & Wreckage”
“Love, Lust & Wreckage,” the latest single by the acoustic band Vento, Ziggy, Hawk & McCarthy, is a poignant and emotive journey through the complexities of life and relationships. It promises breathtaking vocal performances against the backdrop of classic Americana instrumentals. With that and a premise surrounding the struggles of navigating a relationship where true love is elusive, we’re eager to see how it holds up.
From the first note, it becomes apparent that the vocals are the crown jewel of “Love, Lust & Wreckage.” The harmonies and individual performances by the band’s vocalists are rich and emotional. The singers skillfully convey the weight of the song’s theme, painting a vivid picture of the internal turmoil that comes with being in a relationship that lacks genuine love. Each vocal nuance adds depth to the narrative, making the listener feel the raw emotions embedded in the lyrics.
The lyrical content of the single delves into the profound struggles of life and relationships. The narrative explores the corrosive effects of being in a relationship where love is not reciprocated fully, emphasizing how such situations can erode one’s sense of self. The themes of love and lust are skillfully woven into the fabric of the song, while the wreckage comes in the aftermath of these loveless relationships.
The instrumentals, true to classic Americana staples, serve as a perfect complement to the powerful vocal performances. The acoustic arrangements provide a rustic and authentic backdrop, allowing the vocals to take center stage. The simplicity of the instrumentals enhances the storytelling aspect of the song, reinforcing the raw and honest emotions being conveyed.
One notable strength of “Love, Lust & Wreckage” lies in its sparse production, a natural choice for an acoustic band. The decision to keep the production minimalistic allows the authenticity of the performances to shine through. The vulnerability in the vocals and the rawness of the lyrics are not overshadowed by excessive instrumentation.
As the single unfolds, it becomes a compelling narrative of resilience and self-discovery in the face of challenging relationships. The vocalists convey a sense of vulnerability and strength simultaneously, adding layers of complexity to the overall theme. The chorus, with its harmonious blend of voices, becomes a powerful refrain that lingers in the listener’s mind, reinforcing the emotional weight of the song.
In conclusion, “Love, Lust & Wreckage” is not just a song; it’s a soul-stirring exploration of the highs and lows of love and life. Vento, Ziggy, Hawk & McCarthy impress with a performance die-cast in gold and executed to perfection. With tracks like these in their backlog, we’re eager to see what they’ve got in store for us next.
