Please introduce yourself real quick…
My name Is YungLoxk, Im a Rapstar from Detroit, Michigan. I make music different from the usual, for the people out there who are constantly kicked down by the world while they try to build themselves up. Real emotion!
What do you do?
I'm trying to go 100% independent, and in this day in age its 100% possible to do it yourself. I've had the SVP of def jam, Tab Nkhereanyem, call my phone and try to get me to sign but you know i declined just because of the fact I CAN DO IT MYSELF WITH MY OWN TEAM. Don't ever let niggas tell you what you can and can't do. Other then that I also do Instagram and Facebook marketing, follow me @ Yungloxk and I'll get your page right.
What´s new right now?
I'm currently working on my first solo project, Revenge Of The Light, I'm very excited so far it has a sort of a trippy/chill/trap vibe to it but i speak a lot about the truth and the world that people like to keep quite. Not just the basic political race talk but, matters deeper then that. Matters of the heart the soul, the true essence of what makes us special as human beings. I'm planning on putting it out sometime in mid June on all streaming services, and I also have a few singles I'm sprinkling in, so stay tuned to my sound cloud for now!

Travis Scott. Dude fucking days before rodeo really expanded my idea of what rap could be. I cant wait till I thank him in person.

Do you have good promotion tips for other musicians?
Two words, SNAPCHAT AND INSTAGRAM. Every tool we use has a specific formula, it's not hard to look around and find it, and once you do that you can apply the formula to almost any other social sites. The internet can tell you anything you wanna know, teach a man to fish and he eats for the rest of his life. Catch a fish for a man he eats for a day. I want everyone full for life so just search for the food.

What is your number one tip to improve your music production or songwriting skills?
Just really look at how lyrics are written on lyric pages. That's how I started, then i got into books about music theory and applied it to rap.

What is your best tip for those who struggle with finishing their tracks?
Sometimes you have to drop it and do something else. Smoke a blunt, take a walk ect. Then when you have a clear mind come back to that shit it own it. Humans need breaks to stay productive. Sometimes I go weeks without even working on music for this reason alone.
