Sad boy im still here8/7/2023 Get to really know me, not just from the image. All doors open when you can… it’s a good thing.ĪllHipHop: What is it you want fans to get from your story? A little bit of Spanglish gets you in all doors. There’s a few artists on there.ĪllHipHop: Talk about rapping in both Spanish and English, and what that means to be able to put on for your culture. SadBoy Loko: Lupillo Rivera, Jorge Gamboa, Kap G. No walls, nothing can stop me type thing. SadBoy Loko: Sin Fronteras: without barriers. Some rock jams in there, some love jams, you name it. Some gangsta s#, some regional, some banda. You ever had a pizza with all flavors? With all toppings? Well, it’s something like that. Probably one of the only gangsta jams on there, but “Gangsta Fo Life” you know? Take the boy out the hood, but you can’t take the hood out the boy.ĪllHipHop: What can we expect from your new album, Sin Fronteras? SadBoy Loko: That one was a bonus, we had to add that on there.

It’s lit, it’s a little summer anthem right there. Real summer vibes.ĪllHipHop: How does it feel to be hitting a few million? That little taste of it, a good taste and he came back with it. Once he had set that vibe, I just added that Loko to it. SadBoy Loko: My producer Cricket came with the idea, he had Kap G on it with the hook. Kap G’s the homie too, talk about linking with him and what inspired that record. That just came with it, it stuck on after.ĪllHipHop: Obviously, “Palm Trees” is going crazy. They’re like “hey, who’s this SadBoy looking m#?” It just stuck onto me. I was high when I got my name, I was really blown. I’m going to give you the intel, just because you went to UCSB. Once I started rapping, I just followed my name. My s# came from my neighborhood, that’s my nickname. It’s not like these other fools, you just pick and choose right there with your crew.

Bumping Westside music.ĪllHipHop: When did you realize you could do music for a living? I grew up to Tha Eastsidaz s#, because all the other artists were Westside. The first one was Tha Eastsidaz, with some Snoop Dogg s#. Gangsta s# was usually what I always listened to. You know.ĪllHipHop: When did you fall in love with music? Those parties are a little over the edge. ![]() Those kids are a little something else, you know what I’m talking about. SadBoy Loko: I partied like 3 or 4 times over there. You’ve got the college students over here on UCSB, so it’s a little mixture of everything.ĪllHipHop: Were you partying in Isla Vista early on?
