Laws Interview

In the hip-hop game, there’s confidence, and then there’s confidence. Using a debut mixtape to announce the arrival of “Your Future Favorite Rapper” is a prime example of the latter. Less than one year after the release of his freshman effort, it’s clear that Spring Hill, Florida native Laws’ self-assurance paid off big-time – having scored a major deal with J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League and Asylum, the 24-year-old emcee is well on his way to fulfilling the prophecy of that audacious title.

Already a favorite among our readers for tracks like “Number One” and exclusive freestyle “Daytona 500,” the rising star took his game to the next level in early March, when he hooked up with DJBooth.net to drop his sophomore street release, 4:57 (available for streaming and download here). Featuring such acclaimed cuts as “We Like It,” “Hold You Down,” and “Shining.” the project has, to date, proven a massive success, even managing to crash our download server during its first night on our front page.
