Speaker 1 (00:00):
Up next Luna Talks with Anna Paulina Luna part of
the gang which we all know the left controls are
most influential cultural institutions, big tech, Hollywood, the media, the
list goes on, But little do they know, there's a
growing movement of real Americans challenging this left wing monopoly,
fighting to take our culture back. Today I highlight one
(00:23):
of the leaders of this patriotic movement, a rapper who's
not afraid to call it Joe Biden and stands against
the woke mob. This is Luna Talks with Onna Paulina.
Welcome back, everyone to today's episode of Luna Talks with me,
your host on a Paulina Luna big, big, exciting week
we've had. I can tell you that on Wednesday evening
(00:48):
that I was absolutely ecstatic to realize that there was
a press release by Trump Media and Technology Group tm
t G. President Trump is officially launching his app. This
is something that we've been covering here for a while
here on Luna Talks. It is going to be called
The Truth Social App. You can actually download it. It
(01:10):
is pre order available for Apple iPhones on the App Store,
but it is also going to I assume be ready
for launch with androids soon. They're going to be doing
a beta launch for initial guests that are invite only
in November, and then there will be a nationwide rollout
in February. Okay, so much as to why this is important,
(01:31):
mainly because if you've noticed, we've all in one way,
shape or form, been canceled. Conservative businesses can't run ads
for goodness. Six, I think that companies like a f
Nation or Black Rifle Coffee are even having a hard
time running ads on Facebook because they say that they
are either political or dangerous to the community if they
have firearms in them. Point being, this is a huge deal.
(01:54):
It's a huge deal because only the Trump Corporation, I think,
could take on big tech, could ake on these technology
groups out of Silicon Valley that have been really stifling
the voices of the American people. So what the press
release says is that they are announcing their merger with
Digital World Acquisition Corp. On the NAZDAK. So if you
(02:15):
go to the NASDAC, you see look at the ticker
it's d w a C and it is basically going
to I think, put this app and everything along with
it on the map and no longer will you see
these big tech companies being able to control the voice
of the American people. So I'd have to say, for
everything that I've been talking about in the last about
(02:38):
six months to all of you, this is probably the
most exciting thing that I'm seeing projected for not just
the election cycle, but the election cycle. Um. I know
that candidates across the country, I assume on this app
they're going to be able to run ads and ads
that will not be suppressed or you know, falsely boosted
(02:58):
and or false suppressed due to algorithms on the back end.
So this is a huge deal. I definitely suggest you
guys check it out. And with that, I wanted to
cover the movement that we're seeing across the nation. You know,
let's go Brandon. When I played that clip for you
guys about the news reporter that was trying to cover
up some of the chances that were happening at various events,
(03:20):
specifically at this NASCAR event, it didn't just stop there.
It's been something that has taken the country by storm.
I know in Canada, I'm pretty sure that they actually
outlawed people chanting let's go Brandon. But we're not just
saying it there. We're seeing it happen across the world,
and now it seems that the hip hop scene and
(03:40):
really music and culture where they collide is actually I
think putting this as a number one song on Billboard
on Apple Downloads, which is a huge deal. We heard
earlier this past week from Tofer, who's an incredible recording artist.
And he's not just the only one. There's a ton
of other artists that are now stepping up to the plate,
(04:02):
and I wanted to bring on today Losa Alexander. He
is a artist that literally was just he just broke
the internet with this song. It's called Let's Go Brandon.
It's a theme song. It went viral first on social media.
Now on YouTube alone, he has over let me refresh
the page here, he has over two point five million views.
(04:24):
He's an independent artist and I wanted to have him
want right, like, this is exactly what we need in
this country. But I want to stample the clip real
quick before I bring them on so you can see
exactly what I'm talking about. I don't old body tried
to random. This is such a catchy song. I definitely
(04:50):
encourage you all to listen to it. Download it support
conservative artists everyone. I would like to introduce you to
an incredible artist by the name of Losa. Losa, thank
you so much for joining us today here on Luna Talks. So,
as we know, you have an incredible, incredible song that
is trending and this is actually a pretty big deal
(05:12):
for independent artists. Can you tell me a little bit
about it. Yeah, it's it's it's incredible. I mean a
lot of people are telling me, and even for myself,
it's like, you know, usually when artists hit this big,
they need to label, a lot of money pushed behind it. Um,
you know. And I did the record in this room,
you know what I mean, and uh actually shot the video,
made the bet you know, recorded song. I did everything
(05:32):
in one day and to release it at night, you know,
because I was so excited because I felt like this
was gonna be something special because I know how the
American people feel. So it was. It was incredible. Yeah,
I mean, it's interesting. I actually a few weeks back,
had to fur On and he said the same thing.
You know, it's I see what you guys are doing,
and it's unfortunate because you have artists that are literally
pushing like sex drugs, whatever it might be. But you
(05:54):
have a really good message and it's a message for everyone, right,
Like it's not just for certain Americans. And yet you're
not given I think, the credibility or really the notoriety
that you deserve. I heard your song, I love it.
But how did you get involved in music? Because obviously
what you're doing modern day art, I think that it's incredible,
but what really is your driving force and passion behind
(06:17):
everything that you're doing right now currently? And it goes
way way way back. I was I was kind of
like twelve years old, twelve thirteen years old. I was
even playing the piano and I was learning my notes
at like nine years old. Um, but I got started
thin and Tupac was my inspiration actually, but not just
with his music more and so what he stood for
and he was for the people, you know what I mean,
(06:38):
And just his energy, you know what I'm saying, how
you spoke out. He wasn't scared of no fear, you
know what I mean. So, like he's a big inspiration.
And Dr Dre was my inspiration producing beats, you know
what I mean. So, um so that's basically where it started,
and just been doing it ever since, like every day NonStop,
Like the only time I was stopped making my computer
would break or something and I have to you know
(07:00):
what I mean, Like I'm down for like a month,
but like literally every day of my life until until
this point. So that's incredible. I think a lot of
people when you actually sit down and watch tupox interviews,
I mean, he was talking about some really deep stuff.
A lot of people don't know that he actually went
to an arts school, and so, you know, when he
was killed, I think it was a huge loss, not
(07:20):
just for the hip hop community, but also too for
his leadership within the black community in regards to being
a thought leader. Is your family conservative because your lyrics
are clearly I mean they're very well thought through. I
listened to it. You know, sometimes you can hear something
and you realize that it's just beats, but yours is
the beats and the lyrics to Um, what did your
family say about it? Well, they're conservative now, like they
(07:41):
wasn't always conservative, you know what I mean, Like they
kind of recently turned over, Like I turned over last
year for the July of last year. Um, but yeah,
I was telling my mom about you know, the new
movement and what I'm doing stuff. She was like, it's racist,
so you don't do this. She was going off on me,
like what are you act like talking out a couple
of times, like Mom, you don't under stay it, Like
I can't have liberal parents, Like there's no way, there's
(08:03):
no way that would work out, and like, look I
have set you, set you guys down, you know what
I mean. Her and my dad man, I talked to
him a bunch of times and stuff, and then they
started getting My sister got involved, you know what I mean.
So yeah, so they're they're good. Now they're conservative now.
It's really interesting. I mean, I think it just takes
one person in the family and then you can slowly
kind of explain everything. Very similar actually to my story
(08:24):
and my mom actually and most of my family is
still very liberal. But my mom in particular, she had voted, voted,
voted democrats, I think, her entire life. And it wasn't
until she had actually observed what I was doing and
getting politically active and realizing that. You know, I think
it's one thing when it's someone on television, but when
it's your child who's actively engaging in politics, and then
(08:44):
you see kind of the backlash that they're receiving or
sometimes even the false statements. I mean, I'm sure have
you been called, you know, white supremacist or that you're
pushing racist? You have all the time, all the time.
Especially last last year was worse. I don't get too
much of the bad stuff, you know me now, and
that's the commis and stuff. But last year was real bad.
Like I got the death threats, the whole nine. You
(09:06):
know what I'm saying, Like, oh, uncle Tom, is that?
Uh you know what I mean? And uh, you know
I would go live and stuff and I would like
trigger people on purpose. I'm like, yeah, I'm the biggest
white supremacist there is. I am racist. You didn't know that.
That's how I got big racist? He and I would
just clown them and stuff and they would just be like, yeah,
it be hot. So what was it, as you said,
(09:26):
fourth of July was your kind of turning point moment
when you actually, I guess realized that you maybe didn't
necessarily agree with the Democrat platform. What was that kind
of changing moment for you? It was it was an experience,
I'll tell you that, man. Um, you know what I'm
say obviously was on the left. Um and that day
for the July is a good friend of mine's name
is Mike Um out there in Las Vegas man, and
(09:48):
we had a conversation about politics. At first, I didn't
want to talk about them, like I don't hear about
Trumbody talking to me, He's like, sit down, I wanna
talk to these like really smart with politics, like you know,
it's all kind of stuff. And I'm talking to him
and I was like, yeah, man, but he's racist, how
the races, And I really couldn't answer a lot of
stuff like what you said on TV. Then explain to
me how they chopped his videos up and I did this,
(10:08):
and then me having a little bit of the knowledge
of what they did with pop when when he was
telling the truth, he got ridiculed the same way. You
know what I'm saying that he got all these all
these big name people. Every time they step out and
do something, they get ridiculed. So I put it to
two and together. I'm like, Trump ain't the only one,
you know what I mean, Like, there's many other people
who went through that. So that drove me right there
(10:29):
to do my own research. I was like, yeah, okay,
you know, now see what's going on, and then that's
when I changed. I think there's a lot of people
when you look at kind of how they'll take those
clips and then you sit there and you explain to someone,
You're like, look, that was taken out of context, and
it can happen to anyone, right, Like it can happen
to you, it can happen to me. But I think
when you actually play those sound bites for people and
then you play the entire interview, they completely it's like
(10:51):
their eyes kind of like wake up and they realize
that they've been lied to. I think, you know, so
many people rely on the media and like you, so
your song is based on the entire event that happened
at the NASCAR event, right, So you saw that. Can
you explain to me kind of when you were sitting
there writing those lyrics, what was kind of what was it?
(11:12):
I want to hear, like how you wrote the song?
Oh this is this is gonna be the fun part.
So it started off I'll always make the beat first,
you know what I mean. So that's that's how I
can write and get that energy. So I broke I
made the beat first and listen to the interview. When
I heard saying, Okay, let's go Brandon the way she said,
I was like, I can put that in the beat,
and the crowd was obviously on tempo. I was like,
(11:35):
my mind, it was like the whole song was done
already in my head. I was like, oh my god,
this is gonna be crazy. But I still didn't know
it was gonna blow up like this. I had no idea,
you know what I mean. I got to be done
and I'm listening to my headphones, I'm writing the lyrics
and I don't know. Everything was just so fluent, you
know what I mean, And and just kind of it's
it's kind of easy to put yourself and people's shoes
(11:57):
when you are the people too, you know what I mean.
Like I'm a rapper, producer, a singer and stuff, but
I'm still in the community. I'm still a part of
the community, you know what I mean. So I know
how I feel and they feel like how I feel,
you know what I mean. So it's easy to be
a voice with people. So that's why I came up
with the lyrics, just just with that energy. Um and
that's and that's half the song to nobody knows I've
(12:17):
been promoting a little bit like the song has three verses,
it's half the song. Because I was just doing like
like I'm just throw this out here, because a lot
of my videos were flopping there getting like ten thousand,
you know what I mean, less than twenty, you know
what I mean. And I'm like, let me just put
one verse out there and just see what happens. And
it just blew up. Like you, I was checking on
your YouTube. I think the video count is at two
(12:37):
point three million. Ye that that I mean, that's incredible.
That is so incredible. And then I see it and
I realized, you know, this is I think a cultural
movement that's happening across the state right, Like it's it's
our generation. Like how old are you real quickly if
you don't mind me asking, Yes, you're thirty three, so
we're basically the same age. But you see these college
(12:58):
kids and you see like this is happening at football games,
is happening at Nascar, Like it's kind of our age,
younger generation that's saying, you know, we don't agree with this,
we are experiencing it firsthand. I mean it does get political, right,
So like everything that's passed out of d C. We
have to pay for. I do want to ask you
about how hip hop is really influencing the black community,
(13:20):
but I do have to break real quick for commercial break,
So sit tight, We'll be right back. Okay. So I
am here today with an incredible, incredible now conservative rapper.
I want to ask you about how you feel that
hip hop is going to continue to influence underground hip
(13:42):
hop culture in the black community. Honestly, I really think
that a lot of the mainstream artists prope for it
to actually be something, I think it will help even more.
Like the mainstream martis start kepting on and I think
they are these right labels are saying that the conservative
artists are are beating them and they're putting big money
behind these artists and know what I mean, and it's
not working. And that just that in itself is going
to show these mainstream artists, these right the labels and
(14:04):
everybody is pushing people want the truth. They don't want
to hear that other stuff anymore, you know what I'm saying.
And um, I think I think that's what's happening now,
and it's also influencing, um, you know, regular artists to
become conservative, which is a beautiful thing, you know what
I mean, people are liberal and that got talent, you
know what I mean. There's gonna be some clouds chas out.
There's gonna be some people that's gonna you know what
I mean. But you know, you can't you kind of
(14:26):
you can't. Like there's a lot that comes with it,
like you gotta really stand your ground and really believe
in what you believe in. You gotta really push forward.
You can't go in there just for the cloud because
you'll get destroyed, you know what I'm saying. In this industry,
so um and then but it always opens a window
for these artists to learn because in order to do that,
you gotta learn. And even if they started off that way,
they're gonna learn and be like, oh it's nice, you
know if they really know, you know. So that's what
(14:46):
I'm saying. It's just it's just a beautiful thing, man.
And I think a lot of people are gonna are
gonna change this industry. Well, I mean, I saw the
Stavens that Nicki Minaj made, and then you really had
I think it was Kanye West that first really came out.
He said, look, I don't agree with this ideology. But
what I noticed is he was the first one to
say it and the first thing to try to do
say that he was suffering from mental health issues. Right, So,
(15:08):
like you had this really prominent, still amazing, influential black
artist who now has a multibillion dollar clothing company in
addition to whatever else he's doing. But they try to
break him down, and they really try to go after
his mental health and say that he wasn't stable in
making those statements. We all know now that he was,
and that that was basically the industry I think, really
(15:29):
trying to save their behinds. Is that something that you're
afraid of or are you basically at the point in
your career where you're saying this is who I am.
I'm owning it. I'm not afraid of the backlash, and
you're clearly doing something right because you are absolutely viral.
But is that something that you've ever been afraid of happening? Um?
(15:49):
I think about it sometime. I do think about it sometime.
But I'm a firm believer in God, you know what
I mean. I believe God put me here because of
us experiences I experienced before the number one you know
what I mean, and my lives can show that, like
I leave all my lives up. So um yeah, but
I think about it, I mean, because I know that
happens to everybody. You know, they end up really killing
people talking about them. But um, I think another good
(16:11):
thing is that my fan base they understand how the
media works, you know what I mean. So if you're smart,
you're conserving, you're smart, you gonna look like, oh they're lying.
They they lows ain't did that, you know what I mean.
And that just got down on my side. So I'm
just like whatever, even people turn on me whatever, Like,
I know, my slate is clean. I'm good in the media.
Might do something in the future or whatever. You know,
I'm expecting all kinds of stuff to happen, but so
(16:33):
far it's just been done but good goodness and nothing bad.
So it's amazing that you say that. One of the
key things that I'm hearing in these different artists that
I'm interviewing, and I know it's It's actually kind of
funny because I think when people think of politics, they
never consider that music has an influence on culture, which
is tied to what's happening politically. Right so I've really
(16:53):
taken this platform and had actually a really great time
interviewing people that are basically doing what you're doing. But
to first the same thing, he goes, you know, I
believe God is really kind of guiding my path because
how influential you guys are becoming and the impact that
you're making. It's not just for you know, a hundred
thousand people. It's literally like, your song is going to
be played at you know, parties, It's going to be
(17:15):
played at events too. I'm probably gonna be playing your
song at my events. So it's like I see what's happening,
and it's interesting. It's like I feel like right now
we're at a point in our country in history where
really people either have eyes to see and are allowing
and listening to that, you know, that little voice that
you have that might be God kind of guiding your
path and keeping you safe. So I think that there's
(17:37):
some incredibly big things to come for you. Have you
been contacted yet by any major record label since your
song is now basically tearing up the internet? Yeah? Yeah,
I got contacted by Capital Records. They yeah, they asked
me if all sign and stuff, Um, but little do
they know, because I mean, I would look for distribution,
(18:00):
but I definitely want to sign a record deal. I mean,
the only way that would sign a record deal is
it would have to have, first of all the numbers
we have to be right, I would have to have
my freedom, which I don't expect the type of music
I do. No, you know what I mean. I mean,
I would be surprised, you know, for Capitol Records or
Sony anybody that allowed me to do what I do
wouldn't happen. Um, and then you know, I don't feel
like I need a label. But yeah, the Capital did
(18:22):
hit me up on time. Does anyone know that? I
feel like that's breaking news, Like I'm totally gonna be out,
Like I just talked to him. He said that Capitol
Records reached out, and that's incredible. Congratulations. Appreciate that Billboard
did to Billboard contact. I'm actually on Billboard. I'll be
by Thursday and Friday, I'll be number one as far
as uh overall hip hop, and that should be No.
(18:44):
Number two. I think it's Billboard to or something. You're
gonna get that awesome plaque that has a Billboard. That's
incredible congratulation that's a huge deal. I mean, so what
does it mean though with artists? So to my understanding
with how it works with records, So if you signed
with the lab, will do they own the rights to
your song or how does that work with keeping your
freedom so that you can still keep producing what you
(19:05):
want to produce? Sometimes it depends, um, But a lot
of times when artists signed, you know, on the down
in line with those contracts, they don't own their masters anymore.
Usually the label owns the masters, and then you're set
for a certain amount of albums um. And then and
then there's situations where they get shelved too, Like they'll
have a contract like that they can't even complete the
(19:25):
albums because their shelves and stuff, but they put away
for whatever reason they're pushing out another artist or something
like that, and then you know they don't really have
control over their music. You know, they're not get paid
enough and so it's just it's it's crappy, like all
three sixty deals and stuff. Not anything I want to
get involved with. But I mean there's people like Drake.
Drake got amazing, right deal he's as he has a
freedom and jay Z too, right, he has his own
(19:46):
So jay Z has his own record label, Drey has
his own record label. Kanye West as well or now, no,
I don't I think when it's Kanye West science, I
can't think on top of my head, I think he
has a own label. Yeah, but but yeah, that that's
a show of you where my head is. As far
as lay, I don't like. I don't like deliverate it.
I heard so much stuff about them. I want I
want to sign a label unless it really makes sense
(20:07):
to what I'm doing right now, it's the only way.
But well, I do have one last question for you,
and it's in regards to what is your advice to
young men, especially who are growing up within you know,
the black community that feel like they are conservative but
are afraid of backlash. But I have to cut our
last commercial break, so we'll be right back. Okay. So,
(20:31):
as a young man, and clearly you have a lot
of people looking up to you, I feel like right now,
there's this stereotype that exists about young black men in
this country. Right, like in Hollywood, you don't typically tend
to see the doctors or the lawyers, or really even
that image projected onto news. Right, what is your advice
to young men that hear your music, see what you're doing,
(20:54):
but maybe don't have the courage yet to stand up
in regards to really being their true self. That's it's
there's so many, so many things that I can say. Um, well,
first and foremost, like I said earlier, I mean, I
know a lot of people. Some people don't you don't
believe in God, or I don't know what people believes
are you know what I mean. But like I said,
I'm a friend believing in God. So I would tell
(21:14):
a person to get closer spiritually, to believe in themselves
and what I'm saying, to love yourself because you have
two options. You know, you can lay down, you can
go with the world and just lay down and die.
You'll be alive, I mean spiritually, like you just career
whatever you believe. You could just live the rest of
your life and just exists, or believing yourself and do something,
make something happen. And I think serving people. Actually it's
really good right here. I spent twenty years doing music,
(21:37):
producing and doing all that I do. Never got heard,
never did anything until I started helping other people. When
I made the decision to use my talent to help
other people. That's when I started shooting up. When God
see that you're helping other people, that's when joy comes
back to your blessings come back to you. Don't do
it just for that though, because then God can see
that too. But you gotta be taking with So I
would just say that to love yourself, get closer spiritually
(21:58):
believing yourself, and um, you know, use your talent whether
you've got to help somebody else in a come full circle,
because that's what that's what worked for me. Well, that's amazing.
Thank you so much for that. And where can people
go to one download your song? Definitely listen to it.
If you're listening to this podcast, they absolutely need to
listen to your song. Where can they go to download

that's amazing. Well, God bless you. Thank you so much
for joining us here today on Luna Talks. I look
forward to following your career and honestly encouraging people to
listen to your music because I feel like this is
the way that conservatives can really, I think, fight back
(23:22):
with a lot of the hijacking that Hollywood's done. And honestly,
people like you deserve to be successful. You deserve the
platform because you put a lot out there and you're
helping us interpret our message in a different way, which
is musically and a lot of people listen to music,
not a lot of people listen to politics as it is.
So thank you so much. I look forward to having
you back and I appreciate your time. Thank you. Before
(23:44):
we go, I want to thank Closa Alexander again for

Up next Luna Talks with Anna Paulina Luna part of
the gang which we all know the left controls are
most influential cultural institutions, big tech, Hollywood, the media, the
list goes on, But little do they know, there's a
growing movement of real Americans challenging this left wing monopoly,
fighting to take our culture back. Today I highlight one
(00:23):
of the leaders of this patriotic movement, a rapper who's
not afraid to call it Joe Biden and stands against
the woke mob. This is Luna Talks with Onna Paulina.
Welcome back, everyone to today's episode of Luna Talks with me,
your host on a Paulina Luna big, big, exciting week
we've had. I can tell you that on Wednesday evening
(00:48):
that I was absolutely ecstatic to realize that there was
a press release by Trump Media and Technology Group tm
t G. President Trump is officially launching his app. This
is something that we've been covering here for a while
here on Luna Talks. It is going to be called
The Truth Social App. You can actually download it. It
(01:10):
is pre order available for Apple iPhones on the App Store,
but it is also going to I assume be ready
for launch with androids soon. They're going to be doing
a beta launch for initial guests that are invite only
in November, and then there will be a nationwide rollout
in February. Okay, so much as to why this is important,
(01:31):
mainly because if you've noticed, we've all in one way,
shape or form, been canceled. Conservative businesses can't run ads
for goodness. Six, I think that companies like a f
Nation or Black Rifle Coffee are even having a hard
time running ads on Facebook because they say that they
are either political or dangerous to the community if they
have firearms in them. Point being, this is a huge deal.
(01:54):
It's a huge deal because only the Trump Corporation, I think,
could take on big tech, could ake on these technology
groups out of Silicon Valley that have been really stifling
the voices of the American people. So what the press
release says is that they are announcing their merger with
Digital World Acquisition Corp. On the NAZDAK. So if you
(02:15):
go to the NASDAC, you see look at the ticker
it's d w a C and it is basically going
to I think, put this app and everything along with
it on the map and no longer will you see
these big tech companies being able to control the voice
of the American people. So I'd have to say, for
everything that I've been talking about in the last about
(02:38):
six months to all of you, this is probably the
most exciting thing that I'm seeing projected for not just
the election cycle, but the election cycle. Um. I know
that candidates across the country, I assume on this app
they're going to be able to run ads and ads
that will not be suppressed or you know, falsely boosted
(02:58):
and or false suppressed due to algorithms on the back end.
So this is a huge deal. I definitely suggest you
guys check it out. And with that, I wanted to
cover the movement that we're seeing across the nation. You know,
let's go Brandon. When I played that clip for you
guys about the news reporter that was trying to cover
up some of the chances that were happening at various events,
(03:20):
specifically at this NASCAR event, it didn't just stop there.
It's been something that has taken the country by storm.
I know in Canada, I'm pretty sure that they actually
outlawed people chanting let's go Brandon. But we're not just
saying it there. We're seeing it happen across the world,
and now it seems that the hip hop scene and
(03:40):
really music and culture where they collide is actually I
think putting this as a number one song on Billboard
on Apple Downloads, which is a huge deal. We heard
earlier this past week from Tofer, who's an incredible recording artist.
And he's not just the only one. There's a ton
of other artists that are now stepping up to the plate,
(04:02):
and I wanted to bring on today Losa Alexander. He
is a artist that literally was just he just broke
the internet with this song. It's called Let's Go Brandon.
It's a theme song. It went viral first on social media.
Now on YouTube alone, he has over let me refresh
the page here, he has over two point five million views.
(04:24):
He's an independent artist and I wanted to have him
want right, like, this is exactly what we need in
this country. But I want to stample the clip real
quick before I bring them on so you can see
exactly what I'm talking about. I don't old body tried
to random. This is such a catchy song. I definitely
(04:50):
encourage you all to listen to it. Download it support
conservative artists everyone. I would like to introduce you to
an incredible artist by the name of Losa. Losa, thank
you so much for joining us today here on Luna Talks. So,
as we know, you have an incredible, incredible song that
is trending and this is actually a pretty big deal
(05:12):
for independent artists. Can you tell me a little bit
about it. Yeah, it's it's it's incredible. I mean a
lot of people are telling me, and even for myself,
it's like, you know, usually when artists hit this big,
they need to label, a lot of money pushed behind it. Um,
you know. And I did the record in this room,
you know what I mean, and uh actually shot the video,
made the bet you know, recorded song. I did everything
(05:32):
in one day and to release it at night, you know,
because I was so excited because I felt like this
was gonna be something special because I know how the
American people feel. So it was. It was incredible. Yeah,
I mean, it's interesting. I actually a few weeks back,
had to fur On and he said the same thing.
You know, it's I see what you guys are doing,
and it's unfortunate because you have artists that are literally
pushing like sex drugs, whatever it might be. But you
(05:54):
have a really good message and it's a message for everyone, right,
Like it's not just for certain Americans. And yet you're
not given I think, the credibility or really the notoriety
that you deserve. I heard your song, I love it.
But how did you get involved in music? Because obviously
what you're doing modern day art, I think that it's incredible,
but what really is your driving force and passion behind
(06:17):
everything that you're doing right now currently? And it goes
way way way back. I was I was kind of
like twelve years old, twelve thirteen years old. I was
even playing the piano and I was learning my notes
at like nine years old. Um, but I got started
thin and Tupac was my inspiration actually, but not just
with his music more and so what he stood for
and he was for the people, you know what I mean,
(06:38):
And just his energy, you know what I'm saying, how
you spoke out. He wasn't scared of no fear, you
know what I mean. So, like he's a big inspiration.
And Dr Dre was my inspiration producing beats, you know
what I mean. So, um so that's basically where it started,
and just been doing it ever since, like every day NonStop,
Like the only time I was stopped making my computer
would break or something and I have to you know
(07:00):
what I mean, Like I'm down for like a month,
but like literally every day of my life until until
this point. So that's incredible. I think a lot of
people when you actually sit down and watch tupox interviews,
I mean, he was talking about some really deep stuff.
A lot of people don't know that he actually went
to an arts school, and so, you know, when he
was killed, I think it was a huge loss, not
(07:20):
just for the hip hop community, but also too for
his leadership within the black community in regards to being
a thought leader. Is your family conservative because your lyrics
are clearly I mean they're very well thought through. I
listened to it. You know, sometimes you can hear something
and you realize that it's just beats, but yours is
the beats and the lyrics to Um, what did your
family say about it? Well, they're conservative now, like they
(07:41):
wasn't always conservative, you know what I mean, Like they
kind of recently turned over, Like I turned over last
year for the July of last year. Um, but yeah,
I was telling my mom about you know, the new
movement and what I'm doing stuff. She was like, it's racist,
so you don't do this. She was going off on me,
like what are you act like talking out a couple
of times, like Mom, you don't under stay it, Like
I can't have liberal parents, Like there's no way, there's
(08:03):
no way that would work out, and like, look I
have set you, set you guys down, you know what
I mean. Her and my dad man, I talked to
him a bunch of times and stuff, and then they
started getting My sister got involved, you know what I mean.
So yeah, so they're they're good. Now they're conservative now.
It's really interesting. I mean, I think it just takes
one person in the family and then you can slowly
kind of explain everything. Very similar actually to my story
(08:24):
and my mom actually and most of my family is
still very liberal. But my mom in particular, she had voted, voted,
voted democrats, I think, her entire life. And it wasn't
until she had actually observed what I was doing and
getting politically active and realizing that. You know, I think
it's one thing when it's someone on television, but when
it's your child who's actively engaging in politics, and then
(08:44):
you see kind of the backlash that they're receiving or
sometimes even the false statements. I mean, I'm sure have
you been called, you know, white supremacist or that you're
pushing racist? You have all the time, all the time.
Especially last last year was worse. I don't get too
much of the bad stuff, you know me now, and
that's the commis and stuff. But last year was real bad.
Like I got the death threats, the whole nine. You
(09:06):
know what I'm saying, Like, oh, uncle Tom, is that?
Uh you know what I mean? And uh, you know
I would go live and stuff and I would like
trigger people on purpose. I'm like, yeah, I'm the biggest
white supremacist there is. I am racist. You didn't know that.
That's how I got big racist? He and I would
just clown them and stuff and they would just be like, yeah,
it be hot. So what was it, as you said,
(09:26):
fourth of July was your kind of turning point moment
when you actually, I guess realized that you maybe didn't
necessarily agree with the Democrat platform. What was that kind
of changing moment for you? It was it was an experience,
I'll tell you that, man. Um, you know what I'm
say obviously was on the left. Um and that day
for the July is a good friend of mine's name
is Mike Um out there in Las Vegas man, and
(09:48):
we had a conversation about politics. At first, I didn't
want to talk about them, like I don't hear about
Trumbody talking to me, He's like, sit down, I wanna
talk to these like really smart with politics, like you know,
it's all kind of stuff. And I'm talking to him
and I was like, yeah, man, but he's racist, how
the races, And I really couldn't answer a lot of
stuff like what you said on TV. Then explain to
me how they chopped his videos up and I did this,
(10:08):
and then me having a little bit of the knowledge
of what they did with pop when when he was
telling the truth, he got ridiculed the same way. You
know what I'm saying that he got all these all
these big name people. Every time they step out and
do something, they get ridiculed. So I put it to
two and together. I'm like, Trump ain't the only one,
you know what I mean, Like, there's many other people
who went through that. So that drove me right there
(10:29):
to do my own research. I was like, yeah, okay,
you know, now see what's going on, and then that's
when I changed. I think there's a lot of people
when you look at kind of how they'll take those
clips and then you sit there and you explain to someone,
You're like, look, that was taken out of context, and
it can happen to anyone, right, Like it can happen
to you, it can happen to me. But I think
when you actually play those sound bites for people and
then you play the entire interview, they completely it's like
(10:51):
their eyes kind of like wake up and they realize
that they've been lied to. I think, you know, so
many people rely on the media and like you, so
your song is based on the entire event that happened
at the NASCAR event, right, So you saw that. Can
you explain to me kind of when you were sitting
there writing those lyrics, what was kind of what was it?
(11:12):
I want to hear, like how you wrote the song?
Oh this is this is gonna be the fun part.
So it started off I'll always make the beat first,
you know what I mean. So that's that's how I
can write and get that energy. So I broke I
made the beat first and listen to the interview. When
I heard saying, Okay, let's go Brandon the way she said,
I was like, I can put that in the beat,
and the crowd was obviously on tempo. I was like,
(11:35):
my mind, it was like the whole song was done
already in my head. I was like, oh my god,
this is gonna be crazy. But I still didn't know
it was gonna blow up like this. I had no idea,
you know what I mean. I got to be done
and I'm listening to my headphones, I'm writing the lyrics
and I don't know. Everything was just so fluent, you
know what I mean, And and just kind of it's
it's kind of easy to put yourself and people's shoes
(11:57):
when you are the people too, you know what I mean.
Like I'm a rapper, producer, a singer and stuff, but
I'm still in the community. I'm still a part of
the community, you know what I mean. So I know
how I feel and they feel like how I feel,
you know what I mean. So it's easy to be
a voice with people. So that's why I came up
with the lyrics, just just with that energy. Um and
that's and that's half the song to nobody knows I've
(12:17):
been promoting a little bit like the song has three verses,
it's half the song. Because I was just doing like
like I'm just throw this out here, because a lot
of my videos were flopping there getting like ten thousand,
you know what I mean, less than twenty, you know
what I mean. And I'm like, let me just put
one verse out there and just see what happens. And
it just blew up. Like you, I was checking on
your YouTube. I think the video count is at two
(12:37):
point three million. Ye that that I mean, that's incredible.
That is so incredible. And then I see it and
I realized, you know, this is I think a cultural
movement that's happening across the state right, Like it's it's
our generation. Like how old are you real quickly if
you don't mind me asking, Yes, you're thirty three, so
we're basically the same age. But you see these college
(12:58):
kids and you see like this is happening at football games,
is happening at Nascar, Like it's kind of our age,
younger generation that's saying, you know, we don't agree with this,
we are experiencing it firsthand. I mean it does get political, right,
So like everything that's passed out of d C. We
have to pay for. I do want to ask you
about how hip hop is really influencing the black community,
(13:20):
but I do have to break real quick for commercial break,
So sit tight, We'll be right back. Okay. So I
am here today with an incredible, incredible now conservative rapper.
I want to ask you about how you feel that
hip hop is going to continue to influence underground hip
(13:42):
hop culture in the black community. Honestly, I really think
that a lot of the mainstream artists prope for it
to actually be something, I think it will help even more.
Like the mainstream martis start kepting on and I think
they are these right labels are saying that the conservative
artists are are beating them and they're putting big money
behind these artists and know what I mean, and it's
not working. And that just that in itself is going
to show these mainstream artists, these right the labels and
(14:04):
everybody is pushing people want the truth. They don't want
to hear that other stuff anymore, you know what I'm saying.
And um, I think I think that's what's happening now,
and it's also influencing, um, you know, regular artists to
become conservative, which is a beautiful thing, you know what
I mean, people are liberal and that got talent, you
know what I mean. There's gonna be some clouds chas out.
There's gonna be some people that's gonna you know what
I mean. But you know, you can't you kind of
(14:26):
you can't. Like there's a lot that comes with it,
like you gotta really stand your ground and really believe
in what you believe in. You gotta really push forward.
You can't go in there just for the cloud because
you'll get destroyed, you know what I'm saying. In this industry,
so um and then but it always opens a window
for these artists to learn because in order to do that,
you gotta learn. And even if they started off that way,
they're gonna learn and be like, oh it's nice, you
know if they really know, you know. So that's what
(14:46):
I'm saying. It's just it's just a beautiful thing, man.
And I think a lot of people are gonna are
gonna change this industry. Well, I mean, I saw the
Stavens that Nicki Minaj made, and then you really had
I think it was Kanye West that first really came out.
He said, look, I don't agree with this ideology. But
what I noticed is he was the first one to
say it and the first thing to try to do
say that he was suffering from mental health issues. Right, So,
(15:08):
like you had this really prominent, still amazing, influential black
artist who now has a multibillion dollar clothing company in
addition to whatever else he's doing. But they try to
break him down, and they really try to go after
his mental health and say that he wasn't stable in
making those statements. We all know now that he was,
and that that was basically the industry I think, really
(15:29):
trying to save their behinds. Is that something that you're
afraid of or are you basically at the point in
your career where you're saying this is who I am.
I'm owning it. I'm not afraid of the backlash, and
you're clearly doing something right because you are absolutely viral.
But is that something that you've ever been afraid of happening? Um?
(15:49):
I think about it sometime. I do think about it sometime.
But I'm a firm believer in God, you know what
I mean. I believe God put me here because of
us experiences I experienced before the number one you know
what I mean, and my lives can show that, like
I leave all my lives up. So um yeah, but
I think about it, I mean, because I know that
happens to everybody. You know, they end up really killing
people talking about them. But um, I think another good
(16:11):
thing is that my fan base they understand how the
media works, you know what I mean. So if you're smart,
you're conserving, you're smart, you gonna look like, oh they're lying.
They they lows ain't did that, you know what I mean.
And that just got down on my side. So I'm
just like whatever, even people turn on me whatever, Like,
I know, my slate is clean. I'm good in the media.
Might do something in the future or whatever. You know,
I'm expecting all kinds of stuff to happen, but so
(16:33):
far it's just been done but good goodness and nothing bad.
So it's amazing that you say that. One of the
key things that I'm hearing in these different artists that
I'm interviewing, and I know it's It's actually kind of
funny because I think when people think of politics, they
never consider that music has an influence on culture, which
is tied to what's happening politically. Right so I've really
(16:53):
taken this platform and had actually a really great time
interviewing people that are basically doing what you're doing. But
to first the same thing, he goes, you know, I
believe God is really kind of guiding my path because
how influential you guys are becoming and the impact that
you're making. It's not just for you know, a hundred
thousand people. It's literally like, your song is going to
be played at you know, parties, It's going to be
(17:15):
played at events too. I'm probably gonna be playing your
song at my events. So it's like I see what's happening,
and it's interesting. It's like I feel like right now
we're at a point in our country in history where
really people either have eyes to see and are allowing
and listening to that, you know, that little voice that
you have that might be God kind of guiding your
path and keeping you safe. So I think that there's
(17:37):
some incredibly big things to come for you. Have you
been contacted yet by any major record label since your
song is now basically tearing up the internet? Yeah? Yeah,
I got contacted by Capital Records. They yeah, they asked
me if all sign and stuff, Um, but little do
they know, because I mean, I would look for distribution,
(18:00):
but I definitely want to sign a record deal. I mean,
the only way that would sign a record deal is
it would have to have, first of all the numbers
we have to be right, I would have to have
my freedom, which I don't expect the type of music
I do. No, you know what I mean. I mean,
I would be surprised, you know, for Capitol Records or
Sony anybody that allowed me to do what I do
wouldn't happen. Um, and then you know, I don't feel
like I need a label. But yeah, the Capital did
(18:22):
hit me up on time. Does anyone know that? I
feel like that's breaking news, Like I'm totally gonna be out,
Like I just talked to him. He said that Capitol
Records reached out, and that's incredible. Congratulations. Appreciate that Billboard
did to Billboard contact. I'm actually on Billboard. I'll be
by Thursday and Friday, I'll be number one as far
as uh overall hip hop, and that should be No.
(18:44):
Number two. I think it's Billboard to or something. You're
gonna get that awesome plaque that has a Billboard. That's
incredible congratulation that's a huge deal. I mean, so what
does it mean though with artists? So to my understanding
with how it works with records, So if you signed
with the lab, will do they own the rights to
your song or how does that work with keeping your
freedom so that you can still keep producing what you
(19:05):
want to produce? Sometimes it depends, um, But a lot
of times when artists signed, you know, on the down
in line with those contracts, they don't own their masters anymore.
Usually the label owns the masters, and then you're set
for a certain amount of albums um. And then and
then there's situations where they get shelved too, Like they'll
have a contract like that they can't even complete the
(19:25):
albums because their shelves and stuff, but they put away
for whatever reason they're pushing out another artist or something
like that, and then you know they don't really have
control over their music. You know, they're not get paid
enough and so it's just it's it's crappy, like all
three sixty deals and stuff. Not anything I want to
get involved with. But I mean there's people like Drake.
Drake got amazing, right deal he's as he has a
freedom and jay Z too, right, he has his own
(19:46):
So jay Z has his own record label, Drey has
his own record label. Kanye West as well or now, no,
I don't I think when it's Kanye West science, I
can't think on top of my head, I think he
has a own label. Yeah, but but yeah, that that's
a show of you where my head is. As far
as lay, I don't like. I don't like deliverate it.
I heard so much stuff about them. I want I
want to sign a label unless it really makes sense
(20:07):
to what I'm doing right now, it's the only way.
But well, I do have one last question for you,
and it's in regards to what is your advice to
young men, especially who are growing up within you know,
the black community that feel like they are conservative but
are afraid of backlash. But I have to cut our
last commercial break, so we'll be right back. Okay. So,
(20:31):
as a young man, and clearly you have a lot
of people looking up to you, I feel like right now,
there's this stereotype that exists about young black men in
this country. Right, like in Hollywood, you don't typically tend
to see the doctors or the lawyers, or really even
that image projected onto news. Right, what is your advice
to young men that hear your music, see what you're doing,
(20:54):
but maybe don't have the courage yet to stand up
in regards to really being their true self. That's it's
there's so many, so many things that I can say. Um, well,
first and foremost, like I said earlier, I mean, I
know a lot of people. Some people don't you don't
believe in God, or I don't know what people believes
are you know what I mean. But like I said,
I'm a friend believing in God. So I would tell
(21:14):
a person to get closer spiritually, to believe in themselves
and what I'm saying, to love yourself because you have
two options. You know, you can lay down, you can
go with the world and just lay down and die.
You'll be alive, I mean spiritually, like you just career
whatever you believe. You could just live the rest of
your life and just exists, or believing yourself and do something,
make something happen. And I think serving people. Actually it's
really good right here. I spent twenty years doing music,
(21:37):
producing and doing all that I do. Never got heard,
never did anything until I started helping other people. When
I made the decision to use my talent to help
other people. That's when I started shooting up. When God
see that you're helping other people, that's when joy comes
back to your blessings come back to you. Don't do
it just for that though, because then God can see
that too. But you gotta be taking with So I
would just say that to love yourself, get closer spiritually
(21:58):
believing yourself, and um, you know, use your talent whether
you've got to help somebody else in a come full circle,
because that's what that's what worked for me. Well, that's amazing.
Thank you so much for that. And where can people
go to one download your song? Definitely listen to it.

if you guys can go to a stadium and then
just start the chant there and then you have all
the free people and you have the crowd and everything,
that's amazing. Well, God bless you. Thank you so much
for joining us here today on Luna Talks. I look
forward to following your career and honestly encouraging people to
listen to your music because I feel like this is
the way that conservatives can really, I think, fight back
(23:22):
with a lot of the hijacking that Hollywood's done. And honestly,
people like you deserve to be successful. You deserve the
platform because you put a lot out there and you're
helping us interpret our message in a different way, which
is musically and a lot of people listen to music,
not a lot of people listen to politics as it is.
So thank you so much. I look forward to having
you back and I appreciate your time. Thank you. Before
(23:44):
we go, I want to thank Closa Alexander again for
a great interview, and I want to thank you guys
