Fresh of the release of their latest album The Lo$t Tapes 2, and a magnificent win as the best Hip-Hop/R&B group from the Carolina Music Awards. Boyband The Lo$T Generation has been working hard since their high school days. We recently reached out to them to learn more about the band, their new album, as well as what their plans are for the future. Check out our interview with them below.
What’s up guys! Okay so there’s a couple of you in this group so I want each of you to tell us a little about yourselves and what you do. How’d you guys meet?
We started in 2014 during high school... It was just Brody, Jaheal, and I (NOAHH) at first. We had met in theatre class , Brody was already a solo artist at the time , and Jaheal & I had always asked him about making a song till we finally got him to break & let us do it. We went to his crib , recorded a remix over 1Train by A$AP Rocky. After a couple releases, we decided we were gonna need a name if we wanted to drop consistently & take it seriously... and after a couple minutes of thinking on it, we finally came up with “The Lo$t Generation.”
I met the KOKE and JuGGa John through their brother JUSTOMOBBIN about a year later. I had always known about KOKE because we were talking to the same girl but i had never formally met him. They’d always freestyle & always had people fucking with them so I knew if they took music seriously, It’d be a huge opportunity for them. They came to the studio (a home setup in my room at the time), we made our first song, and it did well just off of the strength of their popularity. It wasn’t until we made a song called ‘WET WET’ that people started REALLY looking at them as guys who could really make it, but that’s just small town shit, they knew they had it. We all did. Not too long after that, we met EMILIO ZAPATA, and immediately wanted him on board.
He had his own thing going so at first he declined, but we eventually just grew as a family and the music was the last link. We were blessed enough to meet our engineer Rob, who’s helped influence our sound & help us build something never heard before. This machine has been going hard since 2014 & doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon!
How would you describe your sound together?
We all have different inspirations and musical backgrounds, we try to take everything we know, combine in and just have fun with it. For example, Jaheal grew up listening to Jay-Z & Lil Wayne, so he takes a lot more time into metaphors and bars. Where KOKE, juGGa John, and EMILIO ZAPATA are more influenced by the later artists like Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, JuiceWRLD, and Young Thug. Brody J is heavily influenced by Mac Miller, Pink Floyd, Linkin Park and pretty much Rock Music.
What’s the inspiration behind The Lo$t Tape 2?
The development and progression in our personal lives and within our music. We are often influenced by each other and things we go through individually and as a group. We Pride ourselves in the fact that we don’t sound like anybody but ourselves. And we take all that and just put it into our music. Every song on ‘THE LO$T TAPE 2’ tells a story, and are all influences from just waking everyday speaking on how we feel.
What’s next for you guys? What are you working on?
Being that we just put out an album, we’re shifting our focus into just about everything else that comes with this. None the less, always creating, always going harder than last time for our supporters and for those who don’t even know we exist yet. Expect more content soon from your FAVORITE BOYBAND!
