ONE CASH & TAY BABY - Ozone Magazine

Lil Wop might be in the beginning
stages of his career, but his name
is in heavy rotation already.
Over the last year, Mr. So Fresh
gained a following with his song
“Pimp Shit” and can now be heard
throughout Orlando clubs.
With a mixtape in the works, Lil
Wop talks about his growth and
upcoming endeavors.
Introduce yourself and let us know what you
represent.
It’s ya boy Lil Wop, King Midas, everything I
touch turns to gold. I’m from Orlando, FL, born
and raised. I’ve been going hard in this music
thang for about a year and a half. I’m independent,
I’m not signed with anybody right now.
Your name is coming up a lot right now. How
have you been able to get yourself recognized
Really, just going out and being in these
people’s faces, just hittin’ the clubs, promoting,
being in the streets, and keeping my face
relevant so they know I’m here to stay.
What are you most known for I know you
have a pretty big club song right now, what
all do you have going on
The song I got with P.I. Bang right now is called
“Pimp Ish.” That song is gettin’ heavy play in
the clubs. I’m working on a radio song. I got
one song that’s getting a heavy buzz in the
streets with me and Stefon4U called “Sexual
Chemistry.”
So is this your big breaking out moment in
your career so far
Yeah, this is really my breaking out moment. I
been rappin’ for a long time but wasn’t really
tryin’ to do nothin’ with music. You know how
people just make music wit’ their homeboy’s
and stuff but aren’t really pushin’ it. I only been
goin’ hard for a year and half.
What was it that made you decide to focus
on the music route
Well I always been lovin’ music. One of my
homeboys had a record label called Trap Star
Entertainment. I linked up with him and we
started doin’ music, but then we kinda fell
out so I started doin’ my own thing after that.
But that’s how I got goin’, he knew people
and that’s how I got connections and people
knowing my name.
What’s the hometown love been like Are a
lot of people reaching out now
Yeah, I got a couple shows coming up. I open
up for Travis Porter and Brisco during the Classic
on the 19th. Then we got the show at Icon
on Thanksgiving. PI Bang is doing a mixtape
release party on the 6th, I’m performing out
there too with a couple other people.
Have you had an opportunity to take the
movement outside of Orlando
Just to Palm Beach a couple times, linking up
with Cash Chris from Maybach Music Group.
That’s my homeboy and when he has a show,
he’ll call and I’ll go out there to perform with
him. But as in promoting and going out to
these other cities, I haven’t really started on
that yet. I’m just getting my mixtape together
right now, then I’ma go in head first.
What’s the name of the mixtape
Florida’s Finest. It’s almost done. During the
Florida Classic I’ma do a sneak peak and put
out 6 songs to let people see what the mixtape
is gon’ be like.
Tell us about your music. What type of songs
do you really like making
That feel good, club music, music you throw in
when you gettin’ ready at home about to go
out, when you feelin’ nice, music that gets you
crunk. I want you to think, “Let me throw in
that Lil Wop CD.”
What do you want people to know about Lil
Wop as a person Why should people support
you
I’m different. I’m not on that same trap music,
drug this and drug that, I make regular street
music. I’m not trying to be all extra hard, I just
make feel good music.
Where do you want to ultimately end up
What’s the goal
To have my own record label and be my own
boss. To supply my family with everything. At
the end of the day, just to live out my dream
and get paid for it.
