BLXST | Before They Were Famous | Kendrick Lamar's Favourite Freshman

The Los Angeles-based producer, singer, songwriter, and rapper known as Blxst has made a name for himself by blending hip-hop with R&B – switching back and forth between the two genres more seamlessly than almost any other artist out there. Growing up in South Central, Los Angeles, Blxst would move to California’s Inland Empire when he was still just a kid where he wound up devoting himself to music after becoming isolated in his new environment. He then taught himself how to produce, record and even engineer while watching YouTube tutorials. By 17, he was finally hitting the studios and in 2014 he produced Hitta J3’s “Do Yo Gudda (Remix)”, which got his name circulating throughout the industry, but it would be a number of years before he truly established himself any further. Wanna know what his plans were for the future before becoming a musical sensation? Then keep watching our newest episode of Before They Were Famous to find out!
