In a recent interview with Remixd Mag, the Los Angeles, CA protagonist chops it up with us about his relentlessness, striving for greatness, and his mind-blowing “365” campaign.
With milestones such as opening up for TDE heavyweight Schoolboy Q on his 2019 “Crash” tour during the Oakland & Seattle legs, featuring on Larry June’s near-million hit “Organic Pimpin'”, to connecting with Dame Lillard on the former’s record “Home Team”, the sky is the limit for Dreebo.
Today, the dexterous LA rapper, entrepreneur, recording & performing artist Dreebo reflects on his beginnings, muses, the 365 campaign, and much more in a quick catch up with Remixd Mag.
Check it out below:
How did you get your artist name?
My artist name is Dreebo. I go by The Homie Dreebo also. I created my name when I first started making music for fun. There was a point where I tried to go by my real name “Naeem” but Dreebo had already stuck.
How would you describe your sound to readers who may not be familiar with you?
I would describe my unique sound as unpredictable. You never really know what you’ll get from me, but it will always be quality, fun, and inspirational. As a versatile artist I pride myself on being able to wear multiple hats and push different boundaries with an innovative approach to my music.
What’s one reason you are passionate about music and what inspires you?
One reason I’m passionate about music is because of the effect it has on other people. There’s a lot of people who are inspired by not only my perseverance and work ethic during this journey, but also by the things I say. I’m very passionate about the ability to inspire people and make them feel thru my music.
Who are some of your main musical influences?
I’m Inspired by a lot. Some of my personal musical influences are Pharrell, Nate Dogg, Lupe Fiasco, Bob Marley, Snoop Dogg, ScHoolboy Q, Kendrick Lamar, and Music Soulchild.
Tell us the name of the project you are currently promoting? What inspired this project?
The current project I’m promoting is my 365 project that I completed last year, where I released a song everyday for the entire year. That project was inspired by a video from 2017 of a conversation between Gary Vee & Nipsey Hussle.
What is this project about in your own words?
My 365 project is about consistency, and perfecting my craft. For me this was not only about shooting my shots, but it was also about challenging myself and allowing my audience to watch my growth in real time.
What’s next for you? Are you working on any upcoming projects we should be on the lookout for? Include some dates if you have them.
I’m currently working on an album exclusively produced by The Sensus a fire production duo out of Union City, CA. I’m also working on another album entirely written, produced, performed, and engineered by me that will be releasing this summer.
What message do you hope fans take away from your music and from this project?
I hope that my music and this 365 project inspires my fans and anybody who listens to try. In order to be successful at anything you first have to try.
