Los Kemet on Mississippi Roots, Growth & Chase The Dragon | URBNVIEW Presents Off The Block (EP. 8)

Описание: Jackson, Mississippi–born and Austin, Texas–based hip-hop artist Los Kemet pulls up for a new episode of Off The Block, presented by URBNVIEW with Josh Bryant. In this conversation, Los opens up about how his Southern roots shaped his foundation — and how living across cities like Memphis, Atlanta, Chicago, and Austin helped expand his perspective, sound, and storytelling as both a person and an artist.

We dive into the inspiration behind his latest project, Chase The Dragon, a body of work that balances high-energy, feel-good records like “Pootie Tang” with more introspective cuts like “Enemy of Great” and “Spin It.” Los breaks down the mindset behind the album, the lessons learned along the way, and why this era represents growth, clarity, and creative freedom.

He also speaks on honoring the legacy of Southern rap icons like UGK, David Banner, and T.I. while still carving out something fresh and uniquely his own — proving that authenticity will always outlast trends. This is a story about movement, evolution, and the positive impact that comes from trusting your own path.
