Within the past decade, Masker Rapper Leike47 is one of the most hip-hop pioneering videos. His music is united with a spectrum of influences that, sometimes, as polar opponents; The culture of Ballroom and Yardie as natural enemies, but they are easily mixed with Leikeli like breathing.
Last year, the East Coast Nomad was shocked by the world by taking his video mask for “450“As he revealed the tracklist for his first album for two years, Lei Keli ft. 47 / For the use of promotion.
In the new album, leikeli47 also honors a variety of swath in black music history while making a futuristic sounds like any hearts heard before. As he often dipped with EDM influences as happy R & B, here, he is still united with all listeners to all listeners to all listeners with all listeners to all listeners audience with all listeners to all listeners to all audience to trust themselves and catch who they are.
It’s been a few years since the end of upoxx connected with leikeliBut talking about his new album, it seems like nothing a day has passed. And, like his music, he cannot stop but impress his influences.
I want to ask you about the title of this album, Lei Keli ft. 47 / For the use of promotion. That’s not just a mouth, but clearly, undoubtedly special to you. If you can only run where the album title is and what is so special to you.
Completely. Well, one, as I said, thank you, and two, I have a duty to change me. When I say to me, I really mean to me. Therefore, Lei Keali ft. 47 has himI want to break the goal because I also want to be very clear about Lei Kelie or 47 a person. This is the goal. I don’t deal with Person, I’m talking about the purpose.
47 The protector, man. I have to deal with difficulties, the ins and out, the doubts. Can I, am I good? Do i have? And they went with it, as I could build my own industry and my own world in the midst of what happened. So, I never feel like I belong, but at the same time, it’s not something that is afraid of me. I just welcome it and I hurried. I also know and know from the jump I will never sell. I am on service, so “only for the use of promotion.”
Completely. I actually live in this album for, I want to say, almost a year I think.
Yes, you have done this for a while.
This ends in tradition, and it’s new at the same time, reminding me most of someone like Missy Elliott, where he makes sounds sounding futuristic 20 years after he made it. What are some traditions you take? How do you participate in traditions? I know we talked about how much your ballroom culture is, it is very large in EDM and a very large culture, culture on the island.
Right. If I can be all honest, it is all God, no typo, not a piece of a typo, also God. It can’t be … How can I say it? I just knew I was awake one day, and it was what it was. I really don’t know it. I have never learned to create from nothing. I have never known that sound. I have never seen a sound. I haven’t tasted noise yet.
So, I am a child in the Church. I am blessed to grow in my granenies. I was blessed to have to lift my grandparents and my grandparents. Then, of course, I’m a street kid. I’m just a girl from the hood. That’s my playground and that’s my inspiration.
But every one and every bed, each and every palette I stay, every cousin, auntie, friend, something I have seen, it’s something I’ve ever seen, is it something I’ve ever seen. Even in the midst of our struggle, Marvin is always, Mary, Luther always. You get a little bon jovi here. You missed it, and there was a jazz here. Then you turn and have things like Sesame Street, free PBS like myself.
I am proud of myself not to seek early interview, but I have to ask.
Come.
Obviously, the biggest change for anyone who is a long follower of the story is the fact that we know what you look like. Is there a fear of getting something so important, as important as your … understanding, in your brand, in understanding people to you? How do you overcome fear? What do you know about yourself doing that, and what are some of the changes you have experienced as a result?
To answer your question, never. No fear, nothing. We went through a pandemic and it and that, and then, I’m not the best person on social media or anything. It’s amazing enough, people think if you’re not on social media, you don’t live. Dumb.
But before it went out of you men, it was gone for me. I can’t wait to get it. But no one is afraid of everything. I am ready because as we say, 47 is not a person. This is my goal. I’ll say this, I always pick up people as an individual case. That’s how people look. But when in that game mask, from that mask, one of the main things I know will continue to continue to keep everything not the same. You need to take individuals by who they are as the person and will continue to live your life without fear.
For that, I have to be right for them. I need to be just for them. If I do not follow my intention, I am not responsible. I just hope that when I act, for those who watch it, follow the suit, man. I didn’t say I was perfect, but in that place right there, don’t listen to what others say. Don’t look at numbers, don’t look at algorithms. Start, start, and never give up.
What is the story behind “Passenger 47” and the “Boing” sound you put there? I am different from this.
This is the thinking of highness. If you think of a fountain, these months, it will go up. If you think of a Boeing plane, it will go up. If you think of any plane, it will go up. So, I just want to play. So, why even if you read the lyrics, I wrote the Boeing Plane, and then I also wrote “Boing, Boing” like spring to let you know that in every way, grow. In every way, just look at yourself to climb.
So, I know past albums where you do the things in ballroom, you do things at home. I heard tons of artists using house music, dance, music, techno. Maybe you were the first artist I heard around “soft service,” “Sandhills,” those two, aren’t it? I try to think about the name of the genre. It’s not a black house, but it’s very aggressive. There is something on the ground trying to get out. What do you want to go to that direction?
Yes, this happens only, man. But I say once I started this writing this and I began to go and it was actually one of my most fun songs to write for playing words. So, “soft serving” and ballroom, of course, it is an action. It’s a movement. It’s a way soft and a girl and that thing or something. But then there. Of course, there is an ice cream element. It is a pleasure way to make and meshi these worlds and play in these words and raise the dance community, lift the ballroom community and people in their trust by playing ice cream.
Because that word “serving” is very strong, especially in the ballroom. In Ballroom, you will participate in serving and femininity, we want to be our softest and prettiest, and what it is. But to say, “Look for a cone, it is the war” in a song and say, “Come on this floor.” I don’t know how to do it. I don’t know. I don’t know.
I have a responsibility to make sure I’m from the most pure form because if I am all the way honest with it, as I accept and people know me for that sound. I’m not really real my world, it’s not mine. So, I have a responsibility for ever I am fortunate to be able to curate sounds from that space to do it as much as much.
I want every time you hear anything that’s reminiscent or that takes you to ballroom culture, you think of the ballroom classic videos by caesar on youtube and you think about going to $ 3 bill and open to all and buffy west and arturo. You think about these legends, leiomy and deswawn Wesley.
