You may have heard us playing Guardian Of The Throne by Spyder The Westbank Monster on our Rising Stars show – but who is he? We caught up with him to find out …
Tell us a little bit about your yourself?
I’m an rap artist and business owner from New Orleans, Louisiana. The company I own is Battle League Of Assassins LLC – an entertainment company. I’m currently in school studying Business Administration.
Which artists did you listen to while growing up?
When I was really young I started to listen to artists such as NWA, Snoop Dogg, Bone Thugs and Harmony, and back home music from Cash Money and No Limit records.
I also listen to The LOX, Nas, Jay-Z, Papoose and Beanie Sigel.
How would you describe your music to someone who hasn’t heard you before?
My music is strength and peace of mind to those who hear. To those who haven’t heard it’s a blessing waiting.
What music have you recorded and released to date?
So far I have released No Apologies, Fight Of Faith, When That Shot Come, and Guardian Of The Throne and you can hear these on streaming services.
Which artists do you enjoy listening to at the moment – and do they influence your work?
I’m actually jamming the “Assassin List” on Spotify – every artist on that list influences sme to go harder, but I’m influenced by my own work too – that’s what make me creative.
Who would your dream collaboration be with?
Styles P.
What are your plans for the future?
Build an empire for my kids’ kids to live off.
My music was created to encourage people to keep fighting for what you believe in. Giving up is not an option. Challenges come to make you better. Face them head on fearlessly. Stay strong!
You can find Spyder on all streaming services including Amazon, Spotify, Apple Music and Tidal.
