Where did you grow up?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"conversationMessage sc-media\">\n<div class=\"sc-media-content\">\n<div class=\"conversationMessage__body sc-type-small\">\n<p>I grew up in Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What inspires you to make music?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Life in general, specifically the little bad parts in the good things, or the little good parts in the bad. I want to help people with my music so I always try to make sure what I say means something.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you find your style?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finding my style took a long time. I used to play in rock bands and it took quite some time to figure out how to blend my rock sensibilities with my rap ones. It took a lot of time and practice. I like catchy songs with good lyrics, so I stopped overthinking it and started doing my thing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you plan any collaboration in the near future ?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I just collabed with Demxtia and Kado produced my entire upcoming album!<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/501977532&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true&amp;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Does any record label attracts you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m fully independent for now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Awesome , btw do you make your own beats ?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I write the guitar parts for my custom beats, and occasionally I&#8217;ll do all the production. I also work with <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/sorrow_bringer\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sorrow Bringer<\/a> and Erikveins pretty often.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Okay , how much time do you spend on writing lyrics?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I spend a LOT of time on my lyrics but once i have an idea I tend to an entire verse or hook at a time to keep my train of thought straight. I also like writing lyrics walking around outside with headphones in. Puts me in the zone for some reason.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you going to make a new music video?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hopefully!<\/p>\n<p><strong>I also like the quality of your tracks,Do yo have your own studio?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have a makeshift studio i&#8217;ve built up over the years. Microphone, Guitar equipment, Monitors and a Sub for mixing. It&#8217;s all pretty makeshift though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Three best rappers in your opinion ? And why their music better than others?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I love Zotiyac, Mac Miller, and Earl Sweatshirt for different reasons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you want to say to your fans?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I want to say thank you so much for listening, I was so close to quitting this before people started paying attention. I love you all and I can&#8217;t wait to experience this with all of you. And a super special thank you to anyone who&#8217;s ever shown my music to a friend &lt;3.<\/p>\n<p><em>Find Lil Xtra on Social Media:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>soundcloud: <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/lilxtraatl\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/lilxtraatl<\/a><br \/>\nfacebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Lilxtraatl\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Lilxtraatl<\/a><br \/>\ninstagram:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/LilXtraAtl\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/LilXtraAtl\/<\/a><br \/>\ntwitter:<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LilXtraATL\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> https:\/\/twitter.com\/LilXtraATL<\/a><br \/>\nyoutube: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCYqEuND_ZtclJ6RQzzsPtcA\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCYqEuND_ZtclJ6RQzzsPtcA<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rapper, Singer,Beat-maker and Songwriter, this interview with&nbsp;Lil Xtra a creative soundcloud artist.
