Tap'N With Watts Artist QBJR
We’re excited to introduce you to Watts’ artist QBJR --one of the youngest artists we’ve ever worked with.
QBJR, thank you so much for sharing your story with Trap LA! Before we get started can you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got started rapping at such a young age?
QBJR: My name is QBJR, I’m 11 years old and from Watts, California. I was raised by my dad and I watched my uncle write raps and shoot music videos. I’ve also been inspired by Jayrock from TDE since I grew up around him and listening to his music. Them, plus NBA Youngboy, my cousin Ambjaay are the reason I really wanted to rap.
Wow, you’re very focused for an 11-year-old, and your new video with RTwoo “Who Is You” already has 2,500 views on YouTube after just five days. That’s impressive! How would you describe your music?
QBJR: My music is a kid sound that’s a little advanced; it’s catchy --no mumble rap.
Are there any other artists you would compare yourself to:
QBJR: I don’t compare my sound to any other artists.
