London Merza
I am from Cleveland, Ohio and growing up I was always surrounded by music of all forms. My father was a big fan of TuPac and my mother and her siblings (my aunts and uncles) were always bumping everything from Bone Thugs and Harmony to Alice Deejay and dance music.
Nowadays I just vibe with whatever I vibe with, but I really enjoy freestyle hip-hop because it gives you the chance to really express yourself in a way that is very "unfiltered" in my opinion.
My mixtapes are really stories about my own struggles from life in general but also human identity, authenticity and letting go of the past to heal; while also facing deep, dark human emotions. Yeah, this is definitely my passion.
