Lil Drift stopped through the Power 106 studios and checked in with DJ Carimsa to chop it up about his forthcoming mixtape, being inspired after hitting up an LA strip club, his influences as a child, and what he brings to the hip-hop game.

Not originally from the City of Angels, Drift became accustomed to L.A. life while attending Los Angeles High and began to take his music more seriously after being inspired by Larry June and more surprisingly Jusitn Bieber. Speaking on his latest single, Drift says,”DeJaVu” is about a stripper I met in the club, you feel me?” The 19-year-old rapper continues saying, I just kind of recently started going to the strip club; I found out it’s a waste of money though, so I quit going. But when I was going, it was a female that I met. I make songs about real life situations, so people could feel everything I talk about.”

While the rapper is working to show his fans his real nature, Drift is currently putting together his project which should have an appearance from Skinnyfromthe9 and many more.
