Billboard Top Hip-hop
Exclusive Interview With Alix Lone
Alix Lone is an up-and-coming rap artist. He wrote his first rap in 7th grade and has since been producing music that reflects his life experiences. Alix has been influenced by rap from an early age, listening to rap and hip-hop music from artists such as Andre 3000, Frank Ocean, and Drake. He has always had a deep appreciation for lyricism and storytelling in music, heavily influencing the style of his music. The inspiration that kept Alix moving was the idea that he could create music that would make people feel something. His musical talents and interests are displayed well on his new project “Heartache & Headaches” which includes two songs “200m” and “Section 8”. Let’s talk to him in person and get to know about his experiences and work.
What inspired you to write your latest single?
ALIX: So for 200m, it was my little brother. Actually, he’s a senior at Long Beach Wilson and a track star who holds the new state record in the 300mh. For song Section 8, it was just a song to remind me that I’m already successful no matter how low I feel. I want to remind my listeners that no matter how bad things get, you can still be successful if you take the necessary steps to make it. With 200m, it’s a bit more of a personal story for me because it speaks of my brother’s struggles and how he’s overcome them. It’s sort of like an ode to him and his accomplishments. Both songs are meant to be motivational in their own ways.
What was it like bringing your vision to life with this record?
ALIX: It was gratifying knowing I set out to do this specific stadium-sounding record and executed it on my first go-round. The horns make everything better, lol. I wanted it to sound like a group of athletes coming together and just getting prepared for the big show. This was my first time playing around with the horns, and I think it turned out really well. It was a lot of hard work between the producers, engineers, and myself, but seeing the end result was worth it. The process is a learning experience, and I can’t wait to keep pushing boundaries with my music.
Could you please share a glimpse of the creative process you endure while making a new record?
ALIX: Yeah, so I either get sent a pack of beats from a producer, or sometimes I go find them, but once I hear one I like, I brainstorm a melody. Once I have that, I put words to it. I usually come up with a hook first, and once I put words to it, I build the verse from that. I like to incorporate bits of storytelling and uplifting lyrics in my songs. After I’ve written the song, I take it into the studio to record it. Once I’m done recording, I take it to the mix engineer, who gives it that extra polish and fine-tunes everything.
What are you hoping your audience takes away from the music you’re making?
ALIX: I hope they can relate to me as I do them. I want them to know it’s still regular people out here, and I speak for them through catchy music and creative videos. I want them to get a sense of release for the 2 minutes while listening to my songs and know they’re enough. Do I have everything? No, but I do know I have enough of what I need. Hopefully, they take away the same thought and just know that it’s all part of the process, no matter how bad it may seem or look. If you keep pushing, everything will eventually work out. At the end of the day, it’s all about perspective & I just want to motivate people to stay positive and keep going.
What has been your personal favorite release of 2023 so far? Why?
ALIX: I would say 200m only because it’s inspired by my little brother as he finishes up his high school career, and he’s actually on the tail end of the song, so yeah. Section 8 was more of a personal thing for me, and 200m is more like something I wanted to do for him. Seeing it come together was great, and I was proud of the final product. It was awesome coming out with a song that’s so close to home for me, and I know it also has special meaning for him.
In the ever-evolving world of hip-hop, few artists manage to capture the zeitgeist while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of the genre. Enter Young Miller Tha Don, the independent powerhouse who has been making waves since the release of his groundbreaking debut album, “Miller’s World.” With his unique sound and undeniable charisma, Young Miller is on a trajectory that promises to redefine the music landscape.

Young Miller’s rise in the music industry is a testament to his talent and tenacity. As a top independent artist, he’s making significant strides, proving that you don’t need a major label to make a major impact. His work ethic and dedication to his craft have not gone unnoticed, earning him the endorsement of none other than Flavor Flav, the iconic hype man from Public Enemy. Flav’s co-sign is a powerful affirmation of Young Miller’s potential, with the legend himself predicting that Young Miller will soon take over the music game.
But beyond the accolades and the hype, Young Miller remains grounded in his mission to motivate and uplift. His music speaks to the dreamers, the hustlers, and anyone who’s ever been told that they can’t.

Hello everyone! My name is Craig, though you might recognize me in the digital world as Mr. Positivity, or simply Ticket. I am the proud representative of the Positivity Our Way brand, a movement committed to spreading positive messages and uplifting individuals across the globe. Our mission is to inspire people to embrace positivity in their own unique ways.
My journey toward this mission began as a form of self-expression, a way to rise above the judgments of those who chose not to understand me. Through Positivity Our Way, I hope to inspire others to find their own path to positivity, to encourage them to see the bright side of life even amid challenges.
One of my passions is marketing, and I love creating engaging content, especially reels, that can capture the essence of positivity. Recently, I had the pleasure of collaborating with a talented individual from Houston, Texas, known as Just Mac. Together, we ventured to Dallas, Texas, to create some incredible reels. We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of our YouTube channel, The Boundless Bros. Our aim with this channel is simple: to make fun great again while promoting a positive narrative that resonates with audiences everywhere.
Life’s challenges are real and ongoing. As I navigate the waters of unemployment after nearly 12 years in a job that left me mentally drained and unhappy, I am now in a position where I am ready to embrace life to the fullest. This new chapter with Positivity Our Way is an opportunity beyond my wildest dreams, and I am ready to seize it with all my heart.
If you share a passion for spreading positivity and are interested in collaboration, I would love to connect with you!
