Bellflower artist Long Journey recently released his track “Mula,” which was released under Blossom Records and RICH MIND$. The song was inspired by a freestyle he did upon first hearing the beat. Playing off Fergie’s familiar lyrics from “Glamorous” ft. Ludacris, Long Journey puts his own spin on the phrase, rapping “if you ain’t got no money take your broke a– home.”
“This song is about prioritizing your financial needs and not letting people take advantage of you when doing so,” Long Journey told RemixdMag.
The artist got his name Long Journey, from shortening his original artist name (L.J.A.Y.). “It just sounded better,” he said.
His sound can be described as a chill blend between LA/southern hip-hop and rap mixed with fusions of Jazz and soul. The lyrical notes he emphasizes within each release are nothing to look past, as he’s definitely one of the most talented artists coming out of Bellflower, CA right now.
“A reason I am passionate about music is the freedom to express yourself exactly how you want to without limitations,” he says. “I am honestly inspired by just living and exploring life, I need to live a little and go through shit in order for me to feel the urge to create.”
As far as what’s next for Long Journey, he says he has a ton of projects in the works, but audiences can surely expect more heat.
“I am working on a bunch of different music projects but no specific release dates right now as there is still much left to do,” Long Journey explained. “But I do plan on releasing a couple more singles in the next couple of months and maybe an EP too, as well as some visuals.”
“The message I want people to take from ‘Mula’ is to take care of you first before helping others because it could be at your own ‘expense.'”
