L-Dro speaks on His Major Influences, Mixtapes, and What His Favorite Pastime Is...

Destiny recently spoke with L-Dro, a new artist out of Akron Ohio! 

How did you come up with the name L-Dro?

“As a kid, just from habits, I picked up on when I was younger.  It was little dro but when I got older I just took the older part off and kept the L….and the dro part is pretty much self explanatory.”

2. Who are your influences in music?

“My Main influences are tupac, biggie, jayz, nas, scarface, az, jadakiss, big L, big pun, rappers like that. There’s too many to name all of them.”

3. Describe yourself in 3 words

“Charismatic, Driven, Funny”

4.  You are doing your FIRST mixtape with DJ Don Cannon.  Tell us what its like to do your first project with such a legend and how did that come about?   

“Its definitely a honor. Ive been a fan of Don Cannon's work ever since I first heard him on Young Jeezy’s debut album.  So to actually be able to work with him and meet him, interact with him and rock with him is a privilege you know what I mean. It came about from me just being at the right place at the right time and the right opportunity presented itself and I just landed in a good situation.”

5.  You said in your bio that the key to success is working twice as hard as the next man.  What are some things you like to do to relax?

“What do I do to relax? Honestly, I smoke a lot of weed. “

6. Who are some artist you would like to work with in the future?

“As far as industry names, I would definitely like to work with the legends like jay z, nas and jadakiss; those types of artists. And there is a lot of newer cats that spit heat  like meek jcole Kendrick lamar nispsy hustle.  Those type of rappers that really have substance in their music.”

7.  What are your new projects coming up?

“Right now Im putting the finishing touches my new mixtape called In Us We Trust.  The last mixtape, Drohio, was hosted by Don Cannon, this one is hosted by DJ Drama. I got production from the Olympics, the Justice League, Static Selektah; a bunch of different producers.  It’s a dope project.   The first single off that is getting to the money.”

8.  How can people find you online?

“You can check out the last mixtape with don cannon, drohio on datpiff, livemixtapes, midwestmixtapes. Its all over the place. You can catch me on twitter at @drohio330, same thing on instagram.  I got videos up on youtube. Just type in L-Dro. And majorhustleent.com”

9.  Anything else you want the people to know?
