He opened up about how he chooses songs for his projects, his experiences with streaming platforms, and the balance he strikes between experimentation and fan expectations. Laid Back P shares, “The way I go by deciding which songs will be on certain projects is by the sound and subjects of the songs, and also what’s going on in my life at the time may be a deciding factor.”
Reflecting on his early experiences with music distribution, he states, “When my music was on all streaming platforms I was making it to important people with the real blue check marks on Instagram, they were telling me how they really liked my songs and how they didn’t know about me until it just randomly popped up on their playlist.” When it comes to creating new work, Laid Back P emphasizes the importance of balance. He shares, “When working on new music, I balance experimenting with new sounds versus sticking to what my audience love because I really rap on any beat that sounds good to me, so I don’t really put myself in the box.” He goes on to explain his inspiration, “I look up to Lil Wayne, that’s who I really learned that from, and you know he’ll rap on anything so I pretty much do the same thing as long as the beat is pretty good. So on all of my projects you’re gonna hear a few different songs that sound pretty different but that sound like it could be on the radio or popish.
