Interview with King Lai
AllHipHop: Story behind “The Plan”
I wrote “The Plan” when I was in the process of signing a 1.2 million dollar deal to buy some apartments next to the high school I attended. As someone who comes from the jungle, a small village in a 3rd world country, this was life-changing.
AllHipHop: What makes your music unique?
Besides the smooth melodies and various flows throughout the song, I would say the main thing that differentiates my music is that it is Authentic and true to my life. Every bar of it.
AllHipHop: How do you balance my music with other obligations, like friends, families, or work?
I’m fortunate enough to no longer work a 9-5 job, so that gives me a lot of free time to mess around in the studio and I believe getting into music has gotten me closer with my friends and family .
AllHipHop: What advice would I give an aspiring musician
I would say be authentic and true to yourself. So no Cap Rap. And lastly work a lot on creating catchy melodies combined with good lyric

I would say when I got nominated as “New Artist of the Year” in the very first year of doing music. It gave me a huge boost in confidence and let me know that I’m heading in the right direction
AllHipHop: If You had one message to give to your fans, what would it be?
I would tell them I really appreciate all the support I am receiving on all the platforms, including the private DMs.

I have a bunch more songs in the bag. And I plan on releasing a few more singles this year all with Music Videos. Can’t wait to get them out there.
