LRucus: My stage name is L.Rucus pronounced (EL-Rukus)

ABM: Where are you from, and what was it like growing up there?

LRucus: I’m from Vallejo, CA. It’s the same as a lot of places in the Bay Area and other cities. It’s a cool spot to live, it has it areas you gotta be aware of and just don’t cause any trouble. I’m a pretty lowkey person so I normally don’t ruffle feathers and just keep it chill and respectful. Outside of just random shit happening in the bay, I can’t say its all bad, just love the city I grew up in and appreciate how it made me and what it taught me.

ABM: What inspired you to pursue music as a career?


LRucus: When I first listened to Kanye West it definitely peaked my interest. I never listened to music like that, it wasn’t a thing in my house hold, but when i was out with the homies and just chilling, hearing what they listened to and what was dope around that time really opened my eyes up. I started rapping in class, beating on the desks and all that, making beats. I always wrote poetry and used it as an outlet to express myself, but then when i first got in touch with a cat who had a studio or a booth, it was history. I was hooked with creating.

ABM: What are your last full length releases people can go check out right now?


LRucus: I have 4 projects at the moment out folks can check out.

ABM: What’s your next visual you plan on releasing, tell us about it.


LRucus: The latest visual i’m releasing is one title “What you say” dropping March 2nd. It’s a dope storyline with a a lot of visually captivating stuff going on. Can’t tell you too much other than it’ll be a great watch from start to finish and i can’t wait for everyone to see it.

ABM: Is there any reputable artists you have worked with so far in your career?

LRucus: I’ve linked up and worked with a lot of dope artist from Nef the Pharoah, to Show Banga and Derek King. Definitely appreciate what they brought to the table and the energy on the records. I just keep focused and staying consistent.

ABM: Is there any artists you would like to work with in the future?


LRucus: Yea i’m open to working with anyone who’s dope and take they’re craft serious. But I definitely wanna rock with the homies from Dreamville or TDE. That’s for-sure on the list of things to do for the year.

ABM: Any business ventures you wanna tell the public about?


LRucus: I’m currently working on expanding my clothing brand “L’s Up” and getting new outfits in the line up. Definitely tap in and check it out on my website IamLRucus.net

They’re backing you up, you know hopefully you can give them what they need out of it. Like, especially what I need, I’m trying to please myself but at the same time, I know what they want as well. I’m trying to give them the same thing, the same opportunity.

ABM: Tell us the story behind your hip hop name?

Nyesha Nicole: My name Nyesha Nicole is my government my “Real” name (lol).I have grown to love my name because of the simple fact that over the years I have gotten thousands of compliments saying how beautiful it is. Ironically however, a lot of people try to persuade me to change my name. Of course,people don’t actually call me “Nyesha Nicole” yet (lol). I go by Nee-Nee, NeeDouble, Ny and you may hear me refer to myself in my music as Nascar, because I stay on the gas literally and metaphorically.

ABM: What got you involved in the hip hop scene?

Nyesha Nicole: I am in love with music, I have been all my life. I have been rapping since elementary school. I won best rap and poem at Coronado. I was aired on local television interviewing and to say my rap “Stay In School”.I knew then I had a gift, so I kept writing and rappin off and on. I did talent shows, played instruments, and I was a Bay Area Stepper. 2014 I joined IG and the rap movement on the Gram got me juiced to test my skills. I decided to go hard on a solo song and see what it do. I hit my bro Laroo for a beat line. He plugged me with Trax FDR. Bought the beat for “REAL”, wrote the hook first,came with three 16’s and started looking for a studio. Recorded with Ant Banks Aird Out Records, he plugged me mixed and mastered it. I hit Roo again for video plug, he referred me to Cassius. Roo got my video posted on Hip Hop AveTV You Tube. When my video hit 300,000 views I was hook, line and sinker.People start hollering at me like don’t stop, keep going, the world needs to hear this shit, you dope! They lit my fire! The Success Label/Point Proven Ent.Put me on with lab time. I jumped in the booth recorded six songs real quick and started featuring with Phantom on a beat from TC and beats from The Grump.Right now I got a hot beat from Just Quality and two fire beats from Smackz I’m working on dropping real soon.

ABM: Where are you from and what was it like growing up there?

Nyesha Nicole: I’m from Richmond California, growing up there was survival of the fittest. The streets are a war zone and hustle is mandatory. My family came to Cali from Texas so my roots have always been different. I had to build and outer shell to cope with the hard knock life and streets of “The Rich”. I grew up living with my grandma, my mommy and my brother. My dad has always been in and out the Feds since I was born, he getting out this year after doing 11years. By 24 I had lost my mommy and my grandma and a couple years later my brother was murdered in Richmond. I lost so much…my loved ones, that its bittersweet.

ABM: What do you typically rap about?

Nyesha Nicole: I typically rap about getting money, being Real, Solid,staying focused, female shit, love, things that are bothering me and things that I feel people need to know.

ABM: What inspires you to be an artist? Who are your early influences?

Nyesha Nicole: What really inspires me is listening to music! When I hear a good song I feel it so deeply and it does so much for my soul its healing. WhenI hear beats that go crazy I want to write to it. Every artist from the Bay moving inspires me to keep pushin! My early influences are Too Short, E40, MacDre, Tupac, Hot Boys, Trina, Lil Kim, C.I.N., Philthy Phil. Today I am inspired mostly by Nicki Minaj and Dej Loaf, have me ready to go jump in the booth!
What are your last full length releases people can go check out right now?

ABM: What was your last release?

Nyesha Nicole: My last full length releases you can go slap right now just dropped in April are “Worth Whatever” and “Who’s Gonna Stop Me” on Proxclusiv Media You Tube channel. My video “Real” you can watch on Hip Hop Ave TV YouTube channel. My sound cloud got everything on there its clappin’!
