About this listen
In this episode, I’m chopping it up with La Reezy, one of the brightest new voices coming out of New Orleans. We talk about how he went from being voted “Most Likely to Be a Rapper” in 8th grade to actually living it, why he quit gaming cold turkey to bet on his music, and how Tyler, The Creator inspired him to start producing his own sound on a $200 keyboard he still uses today.
La Reezy breaks down his projects “Louisiana” and “Louisiana Shakedown,” working with PJ Morton in the country with no distractions, and what it felt like to be honored with the Rap Next Generation Award from the Hip Hop Museum. He also shares the wild story of meeting Kendrick Lamar and finding out Kendrick already knew who he was, plus why he’s so intentional about showing a colorful, spiritual, 2025 version of New Orleans to the world.
If you care about story, hunger, and city pride, this is one you don’t want to skip.
