Problem Discusses Nipsey’s Legacy, Gangs In LA, Snoop, Compton Rap, the LA Rams, and More

Our guest today is a flow artist with more mixtapes to his name already than the average rapper has in their whole career. Those tapes include Rosecrans, Coffee and Kush, OT: Outta Town, Welcome To Mollywood 1, 2, and 3. He also dropped Million Dollar Afro with Iamsu!. Hotels 1 and 2, Chachiville and The Separation, two studio albums, including Selfish and S2, and a debut EP called Understand Me that charted on both the Billboard Heatseekers and R&B and Hip-Hop charts.v 

Rapper Problem has written with artists like Snoop Dogg, and his contributions on Ego Trippin’ and Malice N Wonderland cannot be overstated. He’s also worked with everyone from 9th Wonder to Nipsey Hustle, to John Legend, to DJ Quik, to YG, to Pharrell, to Kendrick Lamar. That’s a collaborator list if ever there was one. 

If you haven’t heard his giant single “Like Whaaat,” you’ve probably heard his songs “Say That Then,” and “Do It Big,” both of which appeared on Grand Theft Auto V. He’s an independent musician through and through, with hometown pride: he gave the LA Rams their theme song “My Squad.”
