When we talk about the new era of the LA rap game it is so important not to forget the Eastside, because right now that’s where the vibes are. Today we have a Long Beach rapper by the name of N8 Carter, all the links to his social media and music streaming platforms will be below so make sure you check those out before you leave!
Every artist has a different way that they discovered, and started getting into their craft so I asked, “ When did you start rapping?“
I started rapping when I was young maybe about 11-12 I was writing my own rhymes. Trying to write songs.
There are different writing process, one may not write, write after they have the beat, or even before, but I was curious on “what N8’s writing process is?”
My writing process was really write lyrics to beats that I like. Random beats I always came across, I’d write freestyles every once in awhile as well. My writing styles has changed a lot since then, now I usually just get behind the mic and just spit. Whatever comes out I stick with or start over. My lyrics became more fresh and more passionate because it was the first thing off of my head.
Joint albums in my opinion are dope, and its a few people that need to get on that wave ASAP so I asked,” If you could have a joint album with one rapper dead or alive who would it be?”
If I could have a joint album with anybody right now dead or alive it would probably be Drake. I think we’d bring out a whole new energy between each other.
GREAT ANSWER!!
A person’s first CD that they owned tells a lot about a person so I asked “what was the first CD you remember owning, and how did it influence you?”
I think the first CD I owned was like Country Grammar I believe. That’s the album I do remember having when I was kid. It influenced me so much to this day because as an artist one thing Nelly taught me was how to make a hit. It’s not always about who can rap the best but he gave us music that would last a lifetime.
Whats your favorite and least favorite thing about creating music?
My most favorite thing about creating music is the head space I get put in when I’m in the zone. I feel like I can’t do no wrong. I feel free I feel like I can be myself and anybody else I want to be. My least favorite thing is actually the tediousness off it. Not going to lie trying to mix certain sounds together can be quite frustrating at times.
Gawdly is the name of his EP, but he explained the inspiration behind it and what the name means.
My inspiration behind Gawdly was everything really. Gawdly is an acronym for God Always Will Deliver, Love Yours. So from the first to the last song it was all inspired by events and feelings in our every day lives. I’m very concept based so every song has a setting, a meaning, and a lot of truth to them. I also wanted to bring a sound that resonated, I wanted people to really feel everything I said on every song.
I love how hard Los Angeles artist It’s really a great year for LA artist, I wanted to know how N8 Carter felt about that.
It has been a great year for LA hip hop, so many dope artists coming out with some heat. Especially out of Long Beach. Long Beach has a sound right that’s just so different. From especially from all of our more stand out artists nobody really sounds the same and I think that’s what truly makes us unique. I don’t ever feel like my music sounds like anybody else at the moment and I love that.
N8 Carter stays busy, this is what he has coming up.
I have a clothing line releasing very soon for the ladies. I just wrapped my last shoot for the GAWDLY movie I will be releasing it early 2020. And I have finished my next music project so we starting off 2020 with a bang for sure.

Have you ever had an overly difficult client?
While doing other people’s makeup are you ever nervous? 
A lot of people, especially on social media, feel as if wearing make-up is a way of catfishing, or pretending to be some one else. I have always wanted to ask a MUA “what do you say to people who feel makeup is a way to “catfish.” 
Howard University is currently ranked number 2 out of the 100+ Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the United States. It was founded on
It is difficult and almost impossible to understand why Kanye would bring this up at an HBCU. Knowing that such institutions were built to educate and lift up generations that were still impacted by the trauma and degradation of slavery caused. The campus is supposed to be a safe ground where blacks can grow and become educated on their history beyond slavery. In my opinion, this was a big slap in the face to our community, and it backtracked all the cleaning up he has been trying to do to his image. In my opinion, musical genius or not, all he was missing was his red “Make America Great Again” hat. 
Who is your inspiration and what artist do you look up to
Who is the GOAT??! Lil Wayne, Drake, or Kanye
