An Interview with DrexTheJoint

How have your SoCal roots shaped your music?

It shaped the sound I have in my music, my style, flow, and charisma.

What was the moment you realized you wanted to pursue music professionally?

The moment I realized I wanted to pursue music professionally was when I seen myself making money out of this and I was getting recognition for my music.

Who/what do you draw inspiration from? What has been the most influential force for your music?

I draw inspiration from all of the greats in the West Coast that been doing this like Snoop, Dr. Dre, etc. Seeing a lot of rappers from LA blow up and never an artist from Orange County has been my influential force.

You recently did a Barbershop Give Back Event. Tell us more about the event + why you decided to do it.

The event was more about showing love to my younger fanbase and blessing them up because I remember there was days I wanted to go to a barbershop and get a haircut but I couldn’t because we never had no money like that. I decided to do it because I wanted to show my fans I appreciate them and build a stronger bond with them.

Who is your dream collab?

My dream collab would probably be Drake.

You're bringing someone to SoCal for the first time – where's the first place you're going to take them?

I would bring them to a restaurant in Santa Ana called Tapatia.

Which song of yours would you recommend to a first-time listener?

I would recommend “Bounce Out” or “Play Ball.”

What can fans expect at your upcoming show at The Roxy?

You could expect a hell of a show and a crazy lineup.
