Music artist VBO from the East Side of Long Beach, CA chatted with me via Zoom and we discussed his most recent album "Virgo" and making it specifically for women. He also discussed his past album "1 Life 2 Live" and making albums true to personal experiences. He also talks about "Stay Focused" being based on an autobiographical story of his house getting raided. At the 3:17 mark I talk about me and VBO connecting through our mutual friend Teddy Styles of Beat Agency Inc whose tag on Twitter is @BeatFirm, shout out to him for connecting us!! VBO talks about why he doesn't consider himself a gangsta rapper. He talks about being inspired by Nipsey Hussle. He talks about being inspired to rap after hearing a song with Sneezy who he ended up collaborating with by giving him a tattoo. VBO is currently working on two albums. He says he was rushing to put out '1 Life 2 Live' and going through a journey of figuring out if music was for him. He also talks about coming from the streets how it was about discretion, where music forced him to be more visible. We also discuss our mutual admiration for Warren Buffett. VBO also discusses not being sure if he is the person that really wants to floss and his mom teaching him about the importance of money. VBO also talks about his thoughts on Lil Nas X's recent video, why Jay-Z is his favorite rapper and artists he wants to collaborate with.
