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.

With the project announcement, P-Lo is sharing “Always,” the breezy, yet emotionally hefty first single featuring a verse from Rexx Life Raj and production by Cal-A. The song finds P-Lo lamenting a loss, chronicling a tumultuous relationship while Raj lends his trademark smooth gravitas to the track’s final verse. “Always” proves that the hyphy HBK artist can do much more than get lit.

Born and raised in Pinole, CA, Filipino-American Paulo Rodriguez started making music at a young age. Inspired by his older brother Kuya Beats, a producer in his own right, P-Lo developed a great appreciation for the music in his father’s record collection, including Santana and the Beatles. When he heard Kanye West’s The College Dropout in 2004, P-Lo knew that he wanted to make a living making rap music. In 2005, P-Lo met a high school classmate who shared his passion for hip-hop: Iamsu!. Together, the two rapper/producers formed the Heartbreak Gang, shortened to HBK, recruiting artists like Kool John, Sage The Gemini, Jay Ant, Kehlani, and others to become one of the premiere rap collectives on the West Coast. With Jay Ant and Iamsu!, P-Lo built a name for himself as a member of The Invasion, producing many of HBK’s biggest hits, including Iamsu’s “Only That Real,” ft. 2 Chainz, and became an in-demand producer nationwide. In 2013, P-Lo had a big hit with Yo Gotti’s “Act Right,” which peaked at #100 on the Hot 100. P-Lo has also found success as a rapper, earning millions of plays on his own SoundCloud and stepping out from behind the boards on several HBK hits. Stay tuned for P-Lo’s More Than Anything, slated to release in the coming months.

The ex-Pussycat Doll is recording the disc in Los Angeles with Rico Love (Beyonce, Usher, David Guetta), Benny Cassette (Kanye West, Nelly), S-X (Lil Wayne, Tinie Tempah) The Code and Dave Aude. (Selena Gomez, U2, Madonna)

“I can’t wait for people to hear this record,” says Sutta. “It has taken a lot longer than expected but it is truly going to be a reflection of my growth as a person and artist and I promise it’ll be worth the wait.”

FELINE RESURRECTION follows a string of Billboard Dance chart No. 1’s, including “Show Me”, “Gonna Get U” with Dave Aude and “White Lies” with Paul Van Dyk.

Sutta’s introduction to the global pop scene was made as a member of The Pussycat Dolls, a worldwide phenomenon and one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. During her time with the Dolls, Sutta garnered a Grammy nomination, won two Billboard Music Awards, two MTV Video Music Awards and played to sold-out audiences around the planet, including stadium shows with artists such as Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and The Black Eyed Peas.

A Miami, Florida native, Sutta fell in love with music and dance at an early age, studying ballet and became a cheerleader for the Miami Heat before graduating high school (and later became captain of the squad). She joined the Dolls in 2003.

The title had been up in the air for a while and Kanye offered to give tickets to season 3 and free Yeezy’s to anyone who guessed what the abbreviation T.L.O.P. stood for. Kanye said, “Everyone was wrong”, the title stands for The Life Of Pablo which derives from The Life Of Paul, which is a story in the bible. However there was one person who did guess the title right, Dante Holley, who got blown up by fans as they saw he had guessed that was the title before the track list was posted.  He hasn’t heard from Yeezy yet but maybe Ye hasn’t caught wind of him yet.  The Album art is very abstract and includes an old family portrait of the West family and a picture of a white girls fat ass in front of an orange backgrounded with fragmented block lettering that reads “The Life Of Pablo” and “Which One”.  Apparently the picture is not of Kim but she picked the photo that was used.

The 18 track project has been getting a lot of good reviews and people are comparing it to his most quotable album “College Dropout”.  People are saying that he approached this project like he hadn’t made it yet and that the project was very well thought out.  A lot of the singles were released prior to the full project release, however there has been a major buzz around T.L.O.P. with over 20 million people who tuned into the live stream at Madison Garden and an unprecedented amount of people tuning in this morning to Tidal.
