Interview by @RetroJ

This Southern member of the Bakersclub works alongside Raz Fresco to bring a new wave of sound to the music world. With three mixtapes under his belt, Thraxx is looking to take his music to the next level in the next upcoming months. Check out as he speaks on his derogatory language, The Bold, and what type of fit you might find him in.

What are some things that you would say stand out right away when listening to you?

I think the beat choice, my delivery, and the subjects I choose to talk about along with how I talk about it really catches people’s attention. How I go in depth and talk about something in a vulgar way that most wouldn’t is also a thing that gets people attracted to my music simply because they’ve never heard anyone say what I say. I hold nothing back.

When you’re looking for beats, what type of sound do you look for?

I just like a lot of creativity on the production. I want the beat to make me feel a certain way and the good beats usually help me find the direction I need to write in. I dig beats with a lot of instruments; whether they are all easy to hear or if there are discrete sounds that producers put in tracks that you might only hear when you’re high (laughs).

Who would you say your sound most closely resembles?

Personally, I think I sound like me only. But other people have their opinions.

How long have you been involved with Raz Fresco and the BAKERSCLUB?

Man I’ve known them for a minute, like probably 3 years now. I’m not even sure. They’re all homies though; if I throw them something to hop on I’m totally confident in their work to not even second-guess the track. Like I’d put it out before I even heard it. That’s how confident I am in these dudes.

One thing that was apparent to me when taking in your music was that “southern” hip hop sound, what aspects of your music would you say has to do with your geographic location?

The way I talk about stuff and the way I do everything honestly. I’m in the South, I’m around niggas from the South, and it’s all I know. I talk about cars because I see‘em. I talk about different types of females because I’ve seen it all down here.

Do you think there are any artists in particular that have influenced the way you make your music?

Yeah, the down South freestyle rappers and those up North battle rappers definitely toned my metaphor game. Curren$y influenced me a lot, just to tell stories and paint a picture with my raps. NWA’s Ice Cube and Tupac really made me not give a fuck about the derogatory language I use; made me feel like it was OK to speak my mind.

If I told you to pick your freshest outfit, what would you be wearing?

Maybe a plain Lacoste t-shirt, some Levi’s, pair of J’s, Ray bans, and some jewelry, but if you ask me that next year I swear it will be different (laughs).

I was lucky enough to get a quick listen to one of the tracks you’re going to be releasing soon, what do you plan to do to take your sound to the next level?

I just need to push my music better and make sure it’s out there where everyone can hear it. I’m just going to grind nonstop till I get where I need to be.

Have you been doing a lot of performances in your area?

Yeah I have, I’m starting to go to more colleges now for shows, but if anybody wants to book a show just hit me up I’m always down.

Would you say that you have a bigger buzz locally, or do you seem to find that a lot of your fans are in other areas?

It’s kind of both. People in my state fuck with me and support me, no lie. But people out of town are go-hard supporters too.

Where can the people find your music?

Check out lothraxx.com. Look in the whatsinthebakery.com. Go to my Soundcloud or you can just Google G. Easy.

What can we expect to see next from Lo Thraxx?

I’m working on my next tape titled “The Bold” and some videos, but you’ll always hear me dropping tracks out the blue because I’m never chilling. I got a lot of good music on deck.
