Rublow Slides Through KAZI Magazine!
- Hey Rublow! Thank you so much for taking the time out with me today to chop it on behalf of KAZI Magazine! Before we get into your new inked deal, new music and more, let’s bring it back to the beginning and tap into your artistry. What’s your creative process like? Do you put pen to pad or punch in and out?
“I used to write a lot in my teen years. But, now it’s kind of second nature to me so I usually don’t anymore. If it’s something crazy that I know I won’t remember tomorrow, then I write it down to remember. But, for the most part i punch in. I’m pretty much past the writing stage. I write in my brain”.
- Next, who or what would you credit your craft to?
“I credit my craft to God, My struggle, my son & myself . Also, I believe my talent is a gift from God so I treat it as such. The struggle gave me a story, my demeanor, my hustle & ambition. My son Is what keep me going. I credit myself for my writing skills. It’s been with me since I can remember because I was always a good storyteller”.
- Growing up in a creative and artistically advanced family with Kitty Daniels as a grandmother, how would you say that has influenced your craft? What elements would you say you embody most?
“I think me having a grandmother like that Helped develop my ear & help me with my hooks & Melodies. Like I can hear the tiniest flaw in a song When something off my ear can’t ignore it. Not trying to be cocky, but I often hear that my hooks sound like radio songs. I would say what I adopted from my grandma kinda helped that”.
Tampa Talent
- I actually recently moved back from Tampa after living out there for a few years. While I was there I was tapped into the music scene with Wild94.1, 95.7 The Beat, LoudOn7th and others. But, with my experience Tampa has trouble putting the city on the map and showing love to fellow artists in the city. There’s soo much talent in Tampa but too much ego as well. Would you agree?
Yes I would agree & that’s why I stay in my lane. I never seeked support from my city cause of that reason.
- Also, do you have any advice for the aspiring artists coming out of the city?
“Keep God first and just keep going. Stay focused and be unapologetically you”.
- First and foremost, congratulations on penning your deal with Cash Money Records! Love to see it! What was that call like and how did the dope opportunity come about?

“Blow Muzik”
- In celebration, you recently released your sampled-single “Blow Muzik” pulled from Lil Wayne’s “Hustler Musik”, could you tell us more behind the inspiration?
“Besides Wayne being one of my Fav Rappers… with me being On Cash money I saw the perfect opportunity to pay homage. It relates to my day to day life Back home in Tampa”.
- Also, some may not know but while building buzz, you co-wrote and featured on “KISS!” from Anwar Hadid’s 2019 debut album, Bleach. Do you write for other artists often or normally just your own music?
