Josh Mitchell, a publicist at PUB.LIE.SIZE, introduced Lil Litty to us as "a charismatic high-energy performer who will wow you with his authoritative vocals" and "clean rap bars and a succinct flow." This is the interview that he granted us.
La Libertad: Where were you born?
Lil: I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California.
La Libertad: How did you get your start in music?
Lil: The way I started in music was I went to church, and these people in the media department pretty much gave me an opportunity, and saw something in me; they put me in a studio, and we made a song, and I’ve been poppin' it ever since.
La Libertad: What would you like to tell our readers about your upcoming single?
Lil: My upcoming single is a new wave in L.A. that no one’s done before; it gives the L.A. scene a splash of a different taste, and it’s talking about some mind changing things.
La Libertad: What is drill music?
Lil: Drill Music can be all types of things, like Chicago, U.K. or New York drill - they sound the same but different. Drill, to me, is like the beat, like you’ll know if a song is a drill song by the beat; they all have the same type of sound, but different melodies; the U.K is the first place I’ve ever heard it. I have family over there and all that.
La Libertad: What would you like to tell our readers about your fashion brand, Lemonade Millionaires?
Lil: I was an early entrepreneur, selling lemonade to the neighborhood in 2015. I was twelve years old. When our raggedy table and chairs got stolen, we launched a Go Fund Me; we raised money to buy new equipment and a banner. That felt good. We invested what we earned into our branded, urban clothing line, Lemonade Millionaires. As the company continues to grow, we ship worldwide, and add custom drip to our merch. We have added Lemonade Millionaire Records. Music and clothing is a good combo; I’m one of the original founders.
La Libertad: What inspires you?
Lil: I am inspired by music and clothing. Regularly releasing songs with millions of plays and creating designer drip for my brand which we showcase in our fun creative music videos that display our clothing...
[NOTE: As of June 6, 2021, the biography on Lil's official website indicates that he is seventeen years old, so he was probably born circa 2005.]
La Libertad: What is the hardest part of being such a young musician?
Lil: Combining School and Music... School is mandatory; music is a choice.
La Libertad: What was one of the biggest challenges for you during the pandemic?
Lil: The lockdown - not being able to go anywhere... It really helped me, in a way, because then I had time to sit down and do things; music touring stopped; business slowed down. Luckily, we do custom stuff; we partnered with local organizations to produce face masks for homeless people on "skid row" in Los Angeles.
[NOTE: "Skid Row" used to be a section of the street that the Los Angeles Police Department's headquarters was on, where homeless people lived. According to WikiPedia, as of 2019, this "row" has metastasized into "a neighborhood in Downtown Los Angeles...also known as Central City East," with "a population of...4,757," that "contains one of the largest stable populations (about 4,200–8,000) of homeless people in the United States," and "has been known for its condensed homeless population since the 1930's. Its long history of police raids, targeted city initiatives, and homelessness advocacy make it one of the most notable districts in Los Angeles.
"Covering fifty city blocks (2.71 square miles) immediately east of downtown Los Angeles, Skid Row is bordered by Third Street to the north, Seventh Street to the south, Alameda Street to the east, and Main Street to the west."]
La Libertad: What are your overall career goals?
Lil: To become a main stream music artist, to build a loyal fan base, to have body of work and a well known clothing brand...
La Libertad: What would you like to tell our readers about your upcoming projects?
Lil: My new single," LA Drill" and the music video will be released in the next few weeks.
La Libertad: What links would you like to share?
Lil:
