Norfolk, Virginia, has had some of the most successful rap artists in history, but now the city has another artist to add to its impressive roster of rappers: Immanuel Artemio Ewing, better known as Lil Goosey. Born in 2001 (Norfolk, Virginia) and inspired by his hometown, Lil Goosey began writing lyrics and recording music at age 16 after a friend recommended him to record.
Growing up in a musical family
For most people growing up, their family is one of their biggest influences. The same goes for Lil’ Goosey. His father was a musician before he passed away when Lil’ Goosey was 16. After his death, Goosey decided to take his dad’s rap name and make a name for himself in music. Now Lil’ Goosey has already made quite a name for himself as an upcoming artist from Norfolk. By signing at 23, I hope to become famous “he says”. His passion for making music is what drives him every day to get better and better. In honoring his father’s promise before he passed away, he followed in his footsteps by signing with a label.
His latest single Heartbreaker
Lil Goosey’s latest single, Heartbreaker, is a raw, emotional look into his struggles. The young rapper tells us about his life, what makes him so special and how he plans on staying under the radar for years to come. “I want people from all over to recognize my name and know me by it. I don’t plan on making music that just speaks to one group of people; I want everyone who hears my music to feel like they can relate in some way or another,” he says.
The beats and vocals were produced by Lil Goosey himself, but he’s quick to point out that his skills are not limited. I’ve been working on my own music since I was 16. My dad taught me everything he says. The vocals you hear in Heartbreaker are all mine. He also adds I’m still learning new things every day and hope to learn even more from other people along the way.
Take a moment to listen to him
Lil Goosey has received more than 67,000 listens, endorsements from artists like KillBunk and Lil Lotus, and his own record label. His skills in rapping are what make him stand out amongst other rappers in Norfolk. He uses clever rhymes to make you want to listen to him again and again. He also incorporates singing into some of his songs which allows you to hear different styles in one song as opposed to hearing just rap or just singing. In addition, he writes all of his lyrics by himself without any help which shows that he is truly passionate about making music. He wants everyone who listens to enjoy it because he puts so much effort into it.
