Hi there, welcome to Honkmagazine. Can you tell our readers about what really inspired you to write music?

King F.L.O – What really inspired me to make music was the culture and the lifestyle of Hip Hop I began making music at an early age but when I was introduced to Hip Hop through my cousin introducing me to the Fugee’s first album I simply fell in love with the production and the craft itself.

When did you realize you were going to make music professionally?

King F.L.O – I realized I was going to make music professionally when I took my first instrument the violin from a school program because My family couldn’t afford to pay for me to attend the music program.

Tell us what is so unique about you and your music?

King F.L.O – What’s unique about me and my music is that it’s designed to make people think I’m focused on the craft as much as I’m focused on the message and every detail from the lyrics to the production. As an artist, I’m very versatile and try to stay away from making music that sounds like anyone else’s.

Can you tell us about your latest releases and what inspired you to create them?

King F.L.O – My latest release is the album “GOD KING” the singles from this album include The Title track GOD KING/ BLESSED featuring Juice Wayne / BEAST MODE featuring Cory Gunz, Whispers, and Lik moss / FEEL IT featuring Oun P . what inspired me to create this album was life and the growth I’ve achieved through hardship and pain GOD KING represents someone who walks through the darkness to get to the light.

What do you wish you were told when you first started making music that you think would help artists just starting out?

King F.L.O – I wish I was told in the beginning how important it was to have all my paperwork right for example trademark on your name and all the publishing paperwork correct. It is definitely crucial for an artist just starting to make sure all legalities are taken care of and current.

What do you do when you don’t do music (creative or otherwise) that you are passionate about?

King F.L.O – When I am not creating my own music as an artist my team and I are on the road shooting videos and creating visuals for many of the top mainstream artists in the world also I am an engineer by trade so I’m producing and engineering always For clients.

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”

“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.

“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.

Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”

It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

BluntBrad Jr. finds calm ambition in the laid-back shine of “It’s All Good”

BluntBrad Jr.’s new single, “It’s All Good,” sounds like a steady handshake and a deep breath. It’s warm, honest, and not trying to be cool. There isn’t any fancy production hiding behind layers of polish here. Instead, the song is all about being honest. The song is laid-back and offers up the shine of a studio recording for the feeling of a candid introduction, a musical “hello” from someone who wants to be heard for who they are.

“It’s All Good” is a very human way to be hopeful at its core. The feeling is simple and real, like someone who won’t let little things stand in the way of their goals. The words to the song sound like friends talking to each other. They discuss their goals, their drive, and their need for attention in a way that is honest and not needy.

The production backs this up by making sure that everything is open and airy. The instruments are simple and easy to understand, so BluntBrad Jr.’s voice and message come through clearly. The song feels real because it doesn’t have a lot of extra stuff in it. You’re not hearing a heavily constructed persona; you’re hearing someone at the start of a journey, eager to make their mark.

The song’s rough edges make it captivating, which is better than polish, which would have smoothed it out. This way of thinking fits with the theme: hope isn’t naive here; it’s realistic and steady. It speaks to people who like simple songs and value honesty over artifice.

“It’s All Good” is an engaging and approachable phrase that offers context for an artist who is confident and clear about their artistic vision. This is the kind of song you listen to when you need some honest encouragement to remember that just being human can help you move forward. This is only the first chapter of something serious, so expect more from him.
