In this interview, Kids Take Over founder & host, Arshan Jawaid, sits down with one of New York’s most buzzing and talented upcoming rappers, Lunchbox. He used to go by Yung Lunchbox, but more recently changed the name. He talks in the interview about the struggles of growing up in Harlem as it was so “treacherous“. Arshan tells a story of recently getting mugged in Harlem as well. We asked him about growing up around stars like ASAP Rocky, Teyana Taylor, Dapper Dan etc, but he said the only real influence he got was from the internet -- rappers like Tyler the Creator, Lil Wayne, Lil B, and Chief Keef. Lunchbox also talks about how producing got his foot in the door to rap. Him and Sheck Wes met on Facebook and then Lunch ended up producing a majority of his “Mudboy“ album with Redda. Lunch says he’s part of a collective called Soloindawn -- consisting of producers like Redda, Dulio, Benjicold, JDolla more. They are the ones supplying him beats. Arshan mentions how much he likes “Mode“, a collab between Lunch and Yeat. Lunch and Yeat were good friends before the fame, and still are. Lunch tells stories about how Yeat used to get flamed in group chats involving underground rappers, and even people like KanKan, Summrs more. Lunch talks about how he doesn’t just want to be another rapper, he wants to be the best. Watch the full interview to hear all the gems he gave. Kids Take Over is based in Vancouver, Canada.
