Lohim Perspective on Lean

My name is Richard Walker but I go but my artist name is Lohim and I am a Rapper/Artist from Texas mainly East Texas. I love making a lot of alternative Hip Hop and things of that such.

I make a lot of music from my own experiences and the people around me when I was making lean I was speaking from a perspective of someone in the streets and what happens and can happen on that side of the world.

My earliest memory was hearing Slow Jamz the first time in the car we was in our way somewhere I was really young but I remember hearing Kanye's production with Twista's fast rapping was the first time I heard someone move that fast but the one true thing that caught me was the beautiful production and I loved music ever since.

I've always been a performer since I can remember from dancing and flipping with my brother to doing theater one year and school to always being a class clown to a certain extent. So I always had it in me and I been making music since like November 2014.

This release plays into Hip-hop underground hip-hop whatever you want to call it.

I've only been doing music fully again since December of 2023 I have 2 EPs out now hopping to release 3 more by the end of this year but I can say in 4 months you can definitely hear the difference I released my first EP 4 me on my birthday this year then just released my second and you can tell a big difference in how I'm evolving.

I love the theme of chill, laid back, but I will also talk some slick shit in there too. There is a lot of theme's that I want to explore the more I grow and the supporters are going to see it and hopefully love it.

 It would be Kendrick Lamar not only because he is my favorite rapper of all time but also because he is one of the greatest performers in the history of music and I know not only will I learn a lot but it would be one of the greatest things that would happen to me in my life and music career.

I would say it Is very Spacey, laid-back, some shit talking but you will enjoy it and start singing it by the end of the first listen. I love letting the music do the talking.

It would be Kendrick Lamar again and for the same reasons as before.

Well my favorite song right now is Telephone Sleepa  from my new EP Da Boi Who Kissed Da Sun. Telephone Sleepa is no pun intended a very slept on song I made that song about a crazy female that use to do weird shit and call me at 3 am wanting to sleep on the phone. Even when I would block her she would still no caller id me.

1.Kendrick Lamar 

2. Schoolboy Q

3. Kanye West 

And their music speaks for itself!

I would say my dream performance would be in a venue that is very Spacey with the sound space and I want all the people coming to see me sing my song without me saying anything and I just want to stand there and close my eyes and just soak it in.

I would say my dream dream musician is out of like 5 people Kendrick, Ye, Schoolbiy Q, Rocky, and Rayven Lenae!

I want them to feel happy, chill, vibe and not worry about anything because that's the feeling I love having and it's a good feeling to have some say it's the best feeling to have.

Him, Amazing, Goat 

Word of mouth and also I share a lot on socials even though I don't like being on there.

Yes I love to practice and always making music and if I'm not making music I'm playing beats and freestyling until I find what I'm looking for and feeling. It has changed tremendously my people say that I'm addicted to this shit.

That they are seeing the growth and that they can see me being a really big artist that is one of the best things I've heard.

I want to bring that feel back that I remember having in 2012-2017 I truly believe that is the best time period in Hip Hop because of all the stars and greats to come from that time from Kendrick- lil uzi or 21  Savage and I just want to not only bring that feel back but do it in my own style being from Texas.

I don't measure by awards I measure it by the quality of music and don't get me wrong I'm a new artist I have a lot of growing to do but at the same time music should always be about the quality of music and as long as you can do that and create financial wealth for your family that is success to me.

They have a very important roll because no matter if we want to admit it or not the youth listens to us music is a very powerful tool and it control masses and we should use that for good and fixing things not saying it's our job but we owe it to the people who spend their money on us and who we have help get out of things like depression music is that powerful.

Can't Tell me nothing by Ye. Because I have that same feeling like these people doubted me so I don't want to hear shit when I make it. I don't hold grudges but I don't want to hear not a damn thing. 

The way labels or promoters support or discover artist a lot of Labels only care about followers that's why a lot of Labels aren't having successful artist because followers on social media doesn't always equate to albums and music sales. I would also change how artist are paid and how they are able to own their art I believe every artist should be able to own their art.

Man I done worked at Walmart, Burger King, I've worked at tire shops and was an electrician before I am currently an Amazon delivery driver I'm still doing the 9-5 hustle until I catch my big break.

No it has actually done the opposite like I have a whole group call Young Visionary Collective and we all make music, I have a homie that does fashion shit it's just different backgrounds coming together to create something special.

It's one of the best things ever because I'm very open minded and I pay attention to a lot of things in life because of it.

Schoolboy Q 

Mick Jenkins 

 And when I say that I don't mean lyrical aspects or how we sound just the vibe of them I would say that's me.

You truly have to work for this shit if you want it and I want this shit bad its all I can think about most of the time is this music stuff.

Like I said in my song Lean "do this shit to feed My niggas trying to hold my people up meditate in condos maybe on a beach or something".

To start something new and fresh not only in music but in the art world period. 

My lastest EP Da Boi Who Kissed Da Sun make sure y'all go get that out now on all DSP's.
