SdotFrmDaBlock Talks “New Money,” Winning The Liq Podcast Open Mic, and His Journey in L.A.’s Music Scene
Emerging from the streets of Los Angeles, SdotFrmDaBlock is making waves with his authentic sound and relatable lyrics. Recently, he took home the win at The Liq Podcast Open Mic and dropped his latest single, “New Money.” In this exclusive interview, SdotFrmDaBlock opens up about his journey, influences, and what’s next for his career.
The Thrill of Winning The Liq Podcast Open Mic
For SdotFrmDaBlock, participating in The Liq Podcast Open Mic was about more than the competition. “Honestly, I was doing it for the fun of music. Rather I won or not, it was the enjoyment behind it,” he shares. The platform gave him a chance to connect with new audiences and grow as an artist.
The Story Behind “New Money”
SdotFrmDaBlock’s single “New Money” stands out as one of his most impactful tracks. “I picked ‘New Money’ as my song to platform because it's one of my most influential songs that I get feedback from performing,” he explains. The track explores how people’s perceptions shift when they see you gaining success. “The main message is how people reflect on your life differently once they see some motion.”
The creative process for “New Money” was all about crafting something universally relatable. “This song was more about something everybody can relate and dance to, which is money and how money can impact,” he says. With its upbeat vibe and thoughtful lyrics, the track is designed to resonate while keeping the energy high.
Shaped by Life and L.A.
Growing up in L.A. has had a profound impact on SdotFrmDaBlock’s artistry. “I would feel like life experiences shape most of my lyrics,” he shares. His style, which he describes as “Street Lyrical Common Sense,” reflects both his personal journey and the realities of his environment.
The influence of Nipsey Hussle has also left a lasting mark on his approach. “As far as the business aspect of music and building a platform, I looked up to people like Nipsey Hussle. His movement taught me to own myself and everything I do,” SdotFrmDaBlock explains.
Lessons from The Liq Podcast
SdotFrmDaBlock’s time on The Liq Podcast Open Mic taught him the value of networking. “From my experience, I’ve always been independent and never really cared to reach out to other artists or podcasts. Liq Podcast just made me a little more open to networking in ways I probably wouldn't normally,” he reflects.
What’s Next for SdotFrmDaBlock
Looking ahead, SdotFrmDaBlock remains committed to consistency. “I drop a single or two every month and try to drop my projects every six to seven months to stay consistent,” he says. His team is also working on an out-of-state tour to expand his reach and gain more experience.
In the next few years, SdotFrmDaBlock envisions himself as one of the biggest L.A. artists in the world. “My consistency and dedication to what I’m doing will get me there. The main impact I want to have is to show people it’s okay to be the underdog sometimes and to just keep going.”
